is there a forum on sunglasses (tints, frames, brands, etc)?

I'm sure you will get numerous responses soon. However,

if you want to go back through this section, you'll  find a

number of sunglass threads. Costa Del Mar seems to be

the overwhelming favorite.

There was a fairly long thread in this section not too long ago. Like roadwarrior said, Costa's were undoubtedly favorite among most.

i will second the costa's..... i own a pair (with my Rx) and love them!

... i have also heard many positive remarks about maui jim's as well though.

Blue Water Optics from what I hear as well. I had some Del Mars and the were great but didn't work for me..they kept fogging up.

Revo makes some good ones too, but they are expensive.

There is also Wiley X and Solar Bat just to mention a few.

I have a pair of the Wiley X airborne and love the polarization is strong and the climate control foam around the frame is great however it is one of those love it or hate things

i have both rudy project and tafosi. the tafosies are auto darkening and i love it when fishing cause they are always the right darkness. they both have my votes

Wiley X Jakes for me.

Wiley X Airborne for me.

Oakley Flak Jacket.

Costa Del Mar with copper glass 580 lenses.  Just try a pair on the next time you are somewhere that deals these sunglasses and you will be amazed.  Any of the 580 lenses are awesome.
