polarized sunglasses

[cardiac5]

What’s the best polarized sunglasses out there today? Mine got a new home after accidentally leaving them in the church pew book rack. Made it 2.5 years which is a record for me. Only looking at polarized options being I fish 3-4 days a week. These were costa reefton 580g. I couldn’t find any recent threads and wanted to see if there was anything better out there to try. I’ve tried Oakley already. Thanks

Not the best but efficient….
I buy Walmart $5 sunglasses in the fishing section and have a few pairs in each vehicle, the camper, and about 5 pair in the boat for the kids.

I liked kaenon when I spent a lot of time on the water ( 10 years ago so stuff may have changed since)

Prefer Maui Jim’s, but haven’t given costas a full trial. Just did some quick 5 min testing at a store, so no water or reflections. I don’t think you can go wrong with either: it wasn’t that that Maui jims were better, I was just used to the feel on the face. I do have very sensitive eyes and have tried other brands, but at this point if I needed/wanted a new pair I would pick between those two brands with glass lenses.

Check out fuse lenses and sunglasses. They started with just replacement lenses and now have a nice selection of frames too. I have 1 pair and about to order a second. On par with my Costas and oakleys but for less than half the cost.

Costas are hard to beat. I’m a fan.

Costas get my vote. Had mine for over a decade and still going strong.

Costa 580 is the gold standard…but they are pretty proud of them. Maui Jims are very good, Oakley- poor, Rayban ok….

Most surprising ones are those Amazon polarized glasses for like 30 bucks

Costa fan here. No denying their quality sunglasses with phenomenal lenses. However if you tend to lose or break your glasses a bit more often, check out strike king. I buy these catawba sunglasses every year for beaters. $30 and they do a great job cutting glare and hold up well. They offer multiple styles, colors and lense tint.

Strike King Pro Catawba Sunglasses

Strike King's SK Plus sunglasses features specifically designed TAC (Tri-Acetate Cellulose) polarized lenses for unequaled performance. The TAC lenses are stable in all weather and humidity conditions and will never compromise in optical quality.

Costa has been great for me. I work, fish and hunt with them.

Costa customer service is not what it used to be. Gone downhill since the buy out. Overall good glass. Frames and everything else is on par with others.

I was at an event in St. Augustine where they had a rep from Bajilo Sunglasses. I tried on several pairs and really liked them. If I recall they were all glass lenses, not plastic. They are made just south of Daytona (where Costas were made) in New Smyrna Beach. Apparently some of the guys who either worked at, or founded Costas got together and formed the company. These will likely be my next pair of sunglasses. Im guessing that their customer service will rival what Costas used to be.

Thanks everyone. Looks like there’s some super cool options out there I’ve never seen/heard of.

Costa glass unless I need impact resistance, then Costa poly.
