In the need for some new sunglasses and I'm torn between Costas or Maui's. Both are great brands but what is everyone wearing? If Costas....what color? Blue or Green mirror lens?

I vote for Costas 580G cause that's what I wear. The stands for glass in case y'all were wondering. They are the best sunglasses that I've ever owned and you can't beat their warranty.

I have both Costas and Maui Jims. They are both great brands. I think it depends a ton on your personal style and face type to find the best fit.

I've had both brands. My last pair of Maui's cracked. I avoid glass lenses for that reason, and because they feel heavier on my face.
I prefer green polycarbonate Costas.

@Chase Worthington - what activities are you wanting them for?
Maui is great to go sitting around and drinking with, but for an active lifestyle (ie boating) I'd recommend the Costa pair. Their glass lenses are amazing! Put on a set of Cabelz and a Cabelz bobber and you're set for some serious fun in the sun.
