Review Of Costa Del Mar Sunglasses and a Martini
Yes I'm a Biker and Yes I like Martinis. Real Men's Martinis. Straight Gin. None of that vodka crap! If they were good enough for Frank Sinatra, James Bond and Brian Griffin. They are damn sure good enough for me!
Intro
Let me preface this by saying I am HARD on sunglasses! I'm a mechanic and I ride often so they get beat up pretty bad. Because of this I have never bought myself an expensive pair of sunglasses for fear of breaking or losing them.
Gift
My Father's Day gift from my Wife and Kids this year was a pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses. They were purchased at an outfitters shop on the Island on Port Aransas while on vacation.
Retail $200
They are flat black frames with blue metalic reflective glass lenses.
Performance
Costas are known for being sporting glasses with an emphasis on fishing. They are polarized. And while I have owned many pairs of polarized glasses in the past these are far superior. The clarity on the water and glare reduction are something you have to experience for yourself.
Riding
Getting to try them out on the bike was excellent. They are comfortable. Super sharp and clear. Not too dark. (I have not riden with them at night yet) And are well made. The wrap around on these particular glasses are perfect for windy environments. They are snug and do not float or move much at all. Very sturdy. I do not find myself scrunching my face to reposition them while riding. Which can be tiresome and a nuisance with cheaper glasses.
Warranty
Lifetime Warranty. No Receipt Required!! The warranty on these is one of the best in the business. If the frames have any wear or damage or failures they will replace them no questions asked. The lenses while glass are super durable have a defect warranty as well. If you damage them or scratch them they offer replacement at low cost if they cannot warranty them out. **My dad sent his in for scratching and they replaced them and upgraded to a new generation lens for free. Customer service is reportedly spot on.
Conclusion
I am super happy with them. And blessed that I have a family that loves me! I anticipate many years of service out of them. Like most of my tools, I work them hard and expect a lot out of them. When I pay top dollar for something I expect it to perform. When it comes to these glasses, Costa Del Mar are at the top of my list. Pick some up and you won't be disappointed.
Now to finish my martini.
Happy Friday! Steem On brothers and sisters of the blockchain!
