By Eric from Austin, Texas on 08/01/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Good Protection, Scratch Resistant Best Uses: Casual Wear, Driving, Fishing Describe Yourself: Tree hugger Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend This is my third pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses. Two of the three pairs have developed stress cracks in the lenses. I'm not sure if it's the frame design or the glass lenses may be too fragile. I can't even identify when the crack occcurred, my theory is that they got too hot in my car and the glass and metal frames expanded at different rates. These Bonefish Bay glasses developed a crack from the corner (where the frame points converge), which went across the lens to the opposite corner. This happened about a week of light use.
This will be my last pair of Costas. On the bright side, the problems I encountered were quickly resolved by Sierra Trading Post. Two thumbs up for STP, two thumbs down for Costa DM.
Last, dealing with Costa's service department is leaves a lot to be desired. They're slow and expensive; seemingly ignoring the brand loyalty that good service can foster.
I'll be looking for M**i J*m sunglasses from now on.

By Hob from Fairfield County, CT on 06/27/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Lightweight Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good sunglasses. Not worth the "list price" if you saw them at a sunglass store, but a decent value at the discounted price.
By SJB from Nashville on 06/16/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Good Protection Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Driving Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Lens size is a bit thin and could be wider top to bottom. Too much light gets in but the glass and look is great!
Stylish, highly functional, great buy By Mike from Jacksonville FL on 06/08/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Attractive Design, Comfortable, Good Protection, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Driving, Special Occasions, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Stylish Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Serious sunglass protection with a stylish european flair. Great for casual and formal occasions including a recent outdoor barbeque, driving, boating, and a late afternoon wedding. Blue mirrored tint is eye catching but not gaudy.
great value for top of the line glasses By slicer from pdx on 05/22/2008 Pros: Adequate Tint, Attractive Design, Comfortable, Good Protection Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Driving Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Practical, Stylish Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I needed a new pair of sunglasses for driving because my other pair blocked my peripheral vision. These look good, fit well and are polorized.

Very solid and the lenses seem to be like glass
