No raccoon eyes? I’m probably missing something, but I would be concerned about glasses that didn’t give me raccoon eyes. What are the blocking?

Having owned cheap ones that cost $30 and expensive oakley and costas, I’ll pay more for the expensive stuff. As long as you don’t lose them, you’re money ahead. They simply last longer. They resist scratches better. The clarity is better ten fold. I just ordered a pair of costas for $80 shipped. I found this link in the Bonzo’s bargain forum. Hopefully it’s legit. If not my CC company will be getting a call.

I think they ended up being about $15-20 cheaper than the lowest price i could find online. Only good for the next 10 hours.
I like my oakleys the best. I paid $30 for a set on eBay(used) that I’ve had before. I had an extra set of lenses. And they came with several sets. I lost my old ones flipping a kayak. I’d take oakleys over costas for durability, Costa for warranty and better lenses for fishing. Oakley’s are better for all around outdoor use. Sports, driving, etc. But I like the Costa’s on the water.
10% of the people catch 90% of the fish.
Steepandcheap is legit… I’ve ordered stuff from there before.
also check out this site. i bought a pair of costas on there for 49.99 with coupon, they had the 400g lenses but were well worth it.

I’ve heard that if you get into a tickle fight or even a scuffle with another guide and your costas are damaged, Costa has a better warranty
Oh, no you didn’t!
My daughter and son in law went on a trip to China and brought me back a pair of Oakleys that plainly say “Made in USA”. I just don’t trust those to block out anything !

Gotcha. The Vistana’s fit snug at the eyebrow and when I smile, my cheeks touch the bottom of the frame, but I can almost fit a finger under the bottom of the frame - it does allow for ventilation and probably some light. My raccoon eyes are not that pronounced…but I’ve got 'em too.
