Where to try on Costa sunglasses?

[tcbass]

I would like to purchase a pair of Costa sunglasses some day but would need to try them on as my face isn't good for normal sized glasses. Where can I try them on? I see that Costa makes like 300 different ones!

 

 

Also, what's good for fishing, glass or plastic lenses?

DSG and Field & Stream carry them.  There's also their dealer locator on their website.  You want glass.

Not too valuable info, but ill give it. After hearing the rave reviews about costas, i have kinda got it in my head that i would purchase a pair soon. I have always been happy with oakleys, but if i can get a better quality, im going to consider it. One day while loading up to go fishing, i noticed my brother in law had a pair of costas (im not sure which ones they were). I do know they were plastic / polycarbonate lenses. not glass. So i tried them on. I like the look of them, but to me personally, they were way too bulky. Its like the frames were thick. I really didnt like the feel of them. I am rather picky since i have a smaller face/head and its hard to get a pair to fit really well. I dont really want to feel them on, if you know what i mean.  im currently wearing a pair of oakley 5 squared with polarized lenses that fit me perfectly. i paid around $70 for them a couple years ago. I also have a pair of the strike king s11 with polarized lenses. i paid like $20 for them. great value for the $.  So i guess all you can take from this, is to make sure you try them on before purchasing. Especially if you have a tough time getting them to fit well/comfortably.

Before I bought my pair of Costas I tried on a bunch of different frames at a Bass Pro Shop and found the frame that was most comfortable on my head. (Fisch for me!)  I wasn't sure if I wanted plastic or glass lenses because some people complain about the weight of glass. I decided on glass and I don't even notice I'm wearing my glasses while fishing. I also like that the glass lenses are more scratch resistant. I used to wear Strike King S11 polarized glasses and they would only last a year before they were so scratched I couldn't see through them clearly. I've had my Costas for a year and the lenses are still completely scratch free.

 

I bought my 580G glasses from Amazon for $180.

Academy carries a good selection of Costas. As for me, I till take the plastic lens, don't like glass around my eyes.
