I love Costa Del Mar. I wear them all the time, boating or not. I have the blue glass lens Fathoms. The blue and green glass lens are the best durability by far and are stratch PROOF. Here is a little story.

Once a few summers ago I was bent over pulling a few weeds out of a flower bed. I had my glasses pulled up and resting on top of my head. I did not realize how close I was to the wall (more specifically) the steel downspout of the house. I went to stand up and hit my head/glasses on the downspout. I am also not talking about a little bump here guys, I REALLY hit it hard! I hit it so hard in fact that it mashed the glasses against my head and hurt my head through the glasses. I was bent over in pain and in my furry threw the glasses across the yard. The real reason I threw them was that I really did not want to see the frame and lens of my almost brand new 150.00 Fathoms. I was sick!!!

Upon regaining my composure I walked over to them and picked them up. The left lens had a ¼” X 1” white gash across the lens and the frame was scared as well. I immediately threw them in my truck and finished the customer’s yard. The whole ride home I glanced over at my freshly RUINED glasses only occasionally. I was sick and I felt like an idiot.

I got home and decided, just for giggles I would try to clean them off. Yeah right!! Like that was gonna work. So…I grabbed a cloth and started reluctantly buffing my nice blue mirror lens. For a brief moment I looked away and slipped off into a dream of freshly cleaned and NOT scared Costa Del Mars. I slipped out of this trans only to look and what did my eyes beyond, but a sleigh with eight tiny…..sorry wrong story….anyways, I looked down at my glasses I seen NO white mark and furthermore NO scratch whatsoever!!!! I then ran into the bedroom and screamed about my newfound happiness to my very plump and somewhat uncaring pregnant wife. I then showed her the situation and she said I can easily clean that frame with some Comet. I gave them to her without much in the way of expectations. She made off with them and after a few minutes to my surprise returned them to me good as new!!!

I am still totally shocked that after a blow that hard (bump on my head to prove it) these glasses not only weren’t ruined, but are as good as brand new.


Also, if you do manage to hurt them Costa will replace them free. All I have to do though is take mine back to where I bought them. They stand by Costas as well as the factory.
