    Steep&cheap. Go to the website and see what they have. Then go try some pairs on at a retailer. They all fit different.

    There so many knock offs I buy directly from Maui Jim, Costa or wherever now days. The returns are easy and hassle free.

    Costa is now owned by Luxotica.

    Their quality has gone down so much lately, my Eye Dr stopped selling them.

    I purchase directly from Costa. Grit your teeth and squeeze the trigger. You'll be glad you did. It doesn't help for today but around Thanksgiving to Christmas each year they offer limited quantity, limited styles at 50% off. Cha-ching!

    Most likely Walmart . A good polarized pair for less than $30.00. They won’t say COSTA but the lens are made in the same plants in China.

    I love these comments. You have clearly never had nice lenses...

    Got a pair off Amazon for 99 bucks, but they were the plastic ones. I’d get the glass if I was you, although both are great.

    While I like WileyX. They're constructed well and fit my head/face like a glove, their lenses leave something to be desired. I don't know why, but both pairs of my P17's the lenses have lost some to all of their polarization and coloring. The first pair I noticed I couldn't see in the water as well after about a year. One of the lenses had a nick in it so I ordered a new pair of glasses. Same model/lens. When they arrived it was night and day. You could literally see the emerald mirror was darker, richer looking and the polarization was 1000x better. Over the next year those too became worn out.

    I only clean my lenses with water, dried with a microfiber.

    If you get glass lenses and have a habit of pulling them up on top of your head DO NOT finish your beer or they will end up somewhere that you don’t want expensive glasses to end up. Just sayin.

    I'd put my plastic HUKs (Just lost) up against my plastic Costa Fantail (My regular glasses) or Brines (RIP) as far as clarity, no question. Prior to me getting bug spray on my WileyX's, they were just as clear. (Need new lens now)
    I can't compare to the 580G and maybe the Costa 580P would have fared better with the bug spray IDK.
