The Cs popped off my frame and the lens coating was coming off. Sent them in and in about 4-5wks I got back a brand new pair.
I have no complaints, well worth the small cost for processing etc.



Ok. Thanks.

They're not. I guess if you also consider tee shirts with cartoon fish on them trendy, I could see how you view costas in the same light.

The green mirror Costas and the amber Maui Jims will be the same. That's what you want for freshwater/inshore. Grey is for offshore.

I have a pair of MJs that are probably 15yrs old. They are great glasses. Also have a couple of Costas. I like them as well. Only sent in one pair of the costas once. No problems at all.

Sat on my costas during a drunk night and broke everything on them and they repaired them for 90$. Got them back about a month ago. Never had problems.

The CDM green mirrors are amber based. They are the same thing.

I have the same problem with the frames stretching out, they fall off my face when I lean over now. I read or saw a video on nola.com that you can take a hair dryer and warm them up and re-mold them. However, I have not tried it yet.


lol, yeah mine were strectch but I left them in a sandwiched position in my hot arse truck and now their tight again. I would recommend you try!

dude costas are much higher quality than oakleys.

it's just a plus that you don't look like a flat bill doucher.

Yea the glass lenses blow plastic out of the water.

Just got a pair of costas again after a year without. Think I'll stick to using these just for fishing now so I don't lose em again. The calcutta glasses I used as a replacement for fishing just didn't cut it at all.

All other situations, I'll just keep letting the ray ban aviators make the vagine moist
