Review on Discover High-Quality Costa Del Mar Sunglasses in 580Plastic for Men's Eyewear Needs by Samuel Blakeley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great, feels good, doesn't last long

I have two of these glasses with different lens and frame colors and they are very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately, as many have mentioned, the glass is cracked where the bridge screw connects to the glass at the top of the goggle on both frames. While by far the most flaws are in the construction, I usually buy 60mm+/XL frames, so it's likely that some of the premature failures are due to frame loading. They're sticking together now, but I think I'll have to replace both pairs soon. One is around 18 months old, the other 6 months old and both are subject to light to normal wear and tear and rotate between lots of glasses (so not suitable for everyday use - although both were very comfortable got by that way). frequently alternating). This is very disappointing, and while cheaper than other Costas, it's hard to justify the cost for less than a year of light use. If I see Costa improving durability I'll give them another chance but I'm not sure I can fire again before then.
