Default Suggestions on sunglasses

I need to get a new pair of sunglasses. I don't mind spending money if I have to for sunglasses that work well. I just don't want to spend to much for a name that doesn't get the job done. Any suggestions?

Costa del Mar's, once you wear a pair of their 580 glass lens you won't wear anything else. You can find them on ebay for $150-180. I have bought 2 pairs from Ebay and they are legit, not fakes.

I am constantly losing/breaking sunglasses, so I usually have to go with a pair I pick up at the gas station on the way out to the lake!

Agreed! I cant leave home with my Costas! The blue or green glass is virtually unscratchable. The 580's are the same way. Triple Tails are great for a big headed guy too. Costas actually ENHANCE your vision..its like putting on eyeglasses.

I would head down to a west marine or Bass Pro and give the costa's a look and see what frames you like, but definitley buy them on ebay. Big time savings. Also take a look at this page...

On the right and bottom it has the lens color options and goes into what they are best for. I have the green mirrors, which were great for the back country in FL but I think I might do better with something else up here.

Costa is the way to go, lifetime warranty, built in leash so you don't lose the Oz, I have 2 pair, a blue lens and a grey lens with a built in magnifer lens at the bottom so I dont have to switch to glasses to tie a knot. Wave Killer is the model!
