Dudley, I appreciate your opinion. We are on the water 4 out of 5 days on average in warm season. I tested quite a few pair of glasses. The cheapo bill dance wally world polarized show fish almost as well I agree. However they scratch very easily so the costa is about the only thing I splurge on, why? They just make things look better and my eyes do nto "hurt" after being in the sun all day. Expensive Maui Jim did not do as well. Neither did about 5 other pairs I have tried. So I have no idea if worth the $ or not but they do appear better, any idea why other than me buying into the hype.
