Costa del Mar
 

Anyone know where to try on a good selection of these sunglasses on the south shore?

Personal Eyes in Randolph. They have a nice selection of all kinds of anglers sunglasses.
Ask for Steve.

I had a tough time finding a good selection of Costas. I ended up going to Needham, I forget where. Call Costa, they will point you. Recently I found out that R&R Marine in Hingham carried them.

Worth the hassle to find them! Word of caution, be sure to try them to ensure fit, I went through about 2 dozen models to find a pair that fit right on my big squash....

Try Basspro Shops. Also, just put in your zip code and it list stores near you: http://www.costadelmar.com/aidStation/dealerLocator.cfm

Martin Opticians in Needham is a "Premium Wave" dealer and have just about every model that Costa's make. I'm in the market for a pair of Costa's too so I've been doing my research and trying on a bunch of different models.

Wateches Etc down by SWE on East Main in Middletown near BJs and Stop & Shop has a good selection.

Go check out the selection at http://sierratradingpost.com and use this code (61800) for another 20% off at checkout. They have a ton right now at 50% off retail.

If they're still a site sponsor click from the link to send JohnR a spiff.

Order a lot of pairs, anything you think you may like on the assumption you're going to return all or all but one. Return shipping is only 5.50 for the lot.

It's the best deal going.

before spending bug money on sunglasses (I love my Mauis) make sure to check out campmor.com for great deals on close outs etc

there are some good deals at sierra, but it doesn't look like they have any w/ glass lenses. You really want the glass lenses IMHO.

Good point, I didn't pay any attention to that :cheers:

too rich for my blood .. another year with calcutta's :(

Hey Ed when you need some new ones you might want to try these. I read about them in a fly fishing magazine a few years back. Not too expensive, $50 and very good. I am going on my 3rd year and no complaints so far. Nice and light and a very good lens. $50 is a good deal IMO. P.

look good .. wich ones do the chicks dig the most ?:love:.

Any style I don't wear.

Dangles,
If you get CDM glasses make sure they are the 580 series lenses. I use them offshore Unbelievable. Scratch resistent. Crisp clear viewing. Well worth the money.

What color lens on the 580 Matt?

I have the blue mirrored lenses because they penetrate a little deeper into the water than the green ones on bright days. I tried both of them. On hazy days they are comparable to each other in my opinion.

They are also a little darker.

JohnR thanks for the tip. I purchased a pair of Costas at Watches Etc. in Middletown,RI today. Was amazed at the inventory which allowed me to get a pair that felt comfortable. I prefer a grey lense which gives a more natural color in my opinion. Price was below Cabellas catalogue by a few bucks.
