Never had pair of Jims but have had too many of others .. Costa are good and have great marketing when they went public to keep up with Ocean Waves which is still private.. OW have the best glass I have ever had in pair shades and great CS.. they are the preferred glass for most of the bigger time fishing guides that I ran into in the 8 yrs I lived down in St Pete area.
My name is Rick Daughtry.......

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went
I met too many good looking girls and that's where my money went
Yeah I know just where it went
No I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

previous pair were maui jim ho'ookipa, current pair are costa permit 580 (vents don't work as well as expected), next pair will be maui jims...when costa eventually refuses warranty coverage (infused rubber has separated on 2 pair that were replaced and i went ahead and bought new lenses for $50 last time, so won't be anytime soon) costas' frames can take more abuse, but the maui jim's light weight with comparable clarity and crispness of lenses is really nice!
like costa, maui pricing is pretty standard across the board unless you find a discontinued model
Experience is a freakin' awesome teacher...

Jim - I will be picking up a pair of Costa's Monday. Going with the gray glass lenses in Jose model. I'm looking forward to getting them.

Picked I some Maui my sport's today. Very lightweight and the glass was as good as the 580's I was comparing them with.
