I have an opportunity to grab some sunglasses at a great price. What is you guys feeling about glass lenses vs. plastic? Price is the same.
Yeah, they are Costas. I think I'm going to try the glass lenses since I've never had glass lensed sunglasses. I might end up hating them, won't know until I try them.Glass is crisper, clearer, but heavier.
If you’re talking Costas, I have both, and the difference is nominal, but noticeable.
This is why they invented Croakies!Glass is much better until you drop them and they land wrong.
You'll like the fact that you can clean them and they don't scratch nearly as easily as plastic.Yeah, they are Costas. I think I'm going to try the glass lenses since I've never had glass lensed sunglasses. I might end up hating them, won't know until I try them.
Thanks!!
Go with the glass! Takes much more to scratch the lenses. I just sent a pair of Zane Costa sunglasses with 580G lenses back to them, broke the frame, they take the lenses out, polish them and put new frames on them for a very reasonable price. These lenses are 6 years old, they look brand new! They should last another 6 years! Well worth it, the new frames were around $30! I've had the plastic lenses, they get scratches in them easily, go with glass! In the long run, it's a way better value!Yeah, they are Costas.
