    What sunglasses is everyone using?

    I had been using prescription Maui Jim for the last 8 years, but the day I have been fearing finally happened and they ended up in the lake. I am not sure I can justify the expense of a new pair. So I am wondering what others are using and their experience with them, both good and bad.

    I saw that right after I posted, then felt dumb for not looking further down the page.

    Oakley double edge shallow water prizm and Smith guides choice chromapop plus brown.
    Wouldn't trade either pair for new imx flipping stick.
    Smith stands behind their lifetime warranty. I wore a pair out (took 7+ years) , sent them in , they sent me a brand new pair , at no cost.
    About the only brand I haven't worn are Maui Jim , my buddy swears by them.
    If you look at Oakley check out the Turbines , they are a little bit more comfortable than the double edge , that I have.

    Costa 580G in Fathoms and Saltbreak. The saltbreak are my newest pair and now prefer them over the fathoms.

    I didn't know the merger went through. I'll revise my statement to, avoid Oakley and Ray Ban, keep an eye on Costa :)

    Thanks for the input everyone, just picked up a pair of Costa Jose's since those seemed to fit me the best. Hopefully my prescription will fit in them.
