100% costas glass lenses only.
I’ve tried a number of different brands and price ranges. They all suffer from the same failure for me personally. The reflective chromatic coating. On all plastic lenses, that coating is exposed on the exterior. The moment it is scratched, the coating will begin to flake off rapidly.
Whereas the costas GLASS lens, not the polycarbonate/plastic lenses, that chrome coating is sandwiched between two layers of glass. If you need to wipe them with your shirt, they won’t scratch. They are a little more expensive than the plastic lenses and they are a little heavier, but the durability is top notch. I personally will never buy anything but the glass lenses costas because of that reason
Also when my costas broke, they just sent me a new pair. My Oakley shades at twice the price, dont have that kind of customer support.
