I use the amber lens the most on my Costa's

   T

What color lens's do you guys wear?

I'm told that the amber is good for sight fishing and in all weather conditions.

How do you clean them without scratching, especially on the water?

Thanks

Mike,

If I could only have one pair of Costa's, I'd go with green mirror. It's on an amber based lens and tends to be just slightly darker than the plain amber.

If I get to have two pairs, I'd go with an amber set for low light, sightfishing, etc and silver mirror for those bright bluebird days.

I believe the green mirror is a copper based lens, as is the silver mirror. Copper lenses are the best all around lens in my opinion. They can handle bright sunny days and still allow for great clearity when site fishing.

Actually, I think we're both right although it depends on the type of lenses you chose. 580's=copper, 400's=amber. My green mirrors are on 580 lenses and to my eye the copper base is a touch darker than the amber.

I like the Costa glasses, but I prefer the Oakleys for durability.  I've had the same pair of Oakley Polarized Gas Can sunglasses for about 4.5 years. While they are slightly scratched, they have been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale.  I'd say the Costas with the right lenses might give you a 5-10% advantage over the Oakleys.  The rootbeer/amber color lenses from Oakley are great in all light.

I've been thinking about buying a pair of 580's in green mirror for driving on sunny winter days; the glare off of the snow can be downright blinding.
