Loved my Cat Cays with the plastic lenses, right up until I had to start wearing glasses and Costa told me it would be $500 to get ONE prescription lens put in them

Nice I've got it narrowed down to a few styles that is one of them

Blackfins, glass hands down. Better clarity and less likely to scratch

580G Fathoms. Blue lenses on black frame. Love costas.

580 Blue Triple Tail.

Hammerhead/Glass
Man-o-war/Plasitc
Fantail/Plastic

Must say I prefer the plastic the Glass gets heavy after a while.

I was given a pair by a friend who's a dealer. I believe they are real tree camo Fantail with 580p copper lenses. That are outstanding. I use them for everyday and shooting. Great on the water too. Highly recommended.

Had a pair for 12 years, loved them.
Lost them on the ATV trails last summer.

Replaced them with Brines (IMO the same glasses different name). Hope to get another 12 years at least.

I have a pair of the Ballasts with the plastic lens. Love them and the lens clarity is fucking amazing, just not sure how long they'll last as they seem a bit delicate.

I have greenish/purple glass in mine but whatver it is Costa is going to hook you up with a spiritually pleasing view of the world and ability to see fish in the water.

Blackfins and Harpoons

Zane with 580G green lenses.

If my head wasn't so big I would have Harpoons. They metal hinges are very nice.

Used to wear costas religiously. But the cost got prohibitive after 4-5 pairs. When they fall the lenses shatter. I went back to $20 Calcuttas

I have a pair of Fantails in the 580P. I like them.

This. I bought two pairs and both smashed. Costa charges an arm and leg to repair them. The optics are great, but it's just too cost prohibitive. Switched to Maui Jim mainly cause I liked their style a little more.

I know that feel. Smashed my last pair of fathoms when I went hands-on at work. That's what we get for being princesses with our fancy glasses though .
