    Best Sunglasses?

    ive been a costa del mar fan for a while. fell in love with the blue mirror lenses....

    is there any other brands that are not as expensive, but just as good?

    any other color lenses work well?

    If you put a pair of Kaenons next to your costas you'll not go back. Kaenons are expensive, but they filter through models every year and last years models can be had on ebay all day for 100$ brand new.

    I have wearing the Natives for the last few years and I like them a lot. The model I have has interchangeable lenses and they do offer the blue mirror. The price of the Natives is about the same or cheaper than the Costas. I am done with Costas and will stick with the Natives for now and will probably try the Kaenons at some point.

    Love the Old Harbor Outfitter sunglasses....I have the "Teasers" and I find them clearer than costas. The lenses don't wear nearly as much as costas for the time I have had them. Not to mention their service tops any company I have bought from.

    Love the costa 580 lenses, but the quality of the frames and hinges has bit the dust. Customer service is arrogant and nothing is covered. Brand new pair of 580's last year hinge got loose and they charge you around a 100 to get fixed/replace. Got a new pair since they could not fix about 6 months ago and the new pair now has same Hinge issue.

    I'm a RayBan P fan, myself. Smoke color, polarized lenses. I'm on my second pair in 10-yrs. First pair was lost when the boat I was on sank!

    I'll second the Kaenons. Just boughht a pair and fished with them over the weekend. Saw a blue one come up on the short that I would have never seen with my old glasses, also spotted a mahi destroy my flying fish teaser then peel off on the flat. I was very satisfied with them. Great glasses and stylish too. Paid $200 for the Rhino's.
