Hi there, I have tried the Costa sunglasses, but I personally like wayfarer sunglasses. But as we know they are so expensive to buy. After long time I have purchased one wayfarer sunglasses from the wholesale sunglass suggested to me by my friend. Firstly, I have view products on their sites and they are of high quality and at an affordable price.
Best Sailing Sunglasses??

Another vote for the Costa's. The lenses are awesome and everything really does look clearer through them. They have a huge selection so you can find a nice looking pair that fits you. Also their customer service is amazing they'll be the last glasses you ever purchase.
Update
[SIZE=medium]BZ Optics, an Australian start-up company, has just developed a unique sunglass which is specifically designed for sailors who require glasses to read their watch, computer, digital screens or charts while sailing in no or low light conditions.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]BZ’S feature photochromic lenses are clear ( Cat 0 ) in the dark or low light, then darken to ( Cat 2 ) as sunlight and UV levels rise.The lenses also adjust to Cat 1 in low light conditions such as rainy or cloudy conditions. The discrete bi- focal is moulded into the rear lower edge of the lens and is not obvious – even when fully activated. Power options are +1.50, +2.00 and +2.50 (suitable for most reading glasses wearers).
The lightweight TR90 frame has dual-moulded non-slip temples and an adjustable non-slip nose piece for optimum comfort and fit. The frame also features an easy-to-change lens system for fully interchangeable lens replacement. Frame colour options are Graphite with light grey non-slip nose piece and temples, White with blue, Fluro yellow with light grey and Hot Pink with light grey.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]BZ Optics was established when Scott Birdsall (a keen cyclist, triathlete, sailor and reading lens wearer) approached long time mate Kevin Barr (a surfer, sailor and owner of Barz Optics the Australian award winning polarised sunglass manufacturer) to assist in developing a sunglass which would offer full UV protection during pre-dawn / low light sailing through to the midday glare of full sun with the added benefit of being able to easily read. The lens also features an industrial eyewear impact resistant rating.
Twelve months of research led to a partnership with their lens manufacturer and the development of the Pho frame by one of Barz Optics major frame suppliers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]While initially the glasses were developed for cycling and sailing they would also be ideal for:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Trekking or walking – reading maps or a GPS.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Driving – being able to read a GPS, map, radio, phone, clock or other instrumentation all hours of the day.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Motorcycling – they fit comfortably under both a full face and open face helmet and allow the rider to read all of his or her instrumentation both day and night while protecting from bugs and road grit.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Golf – being able to read or write on a score card or play in low light situations.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Running – reading a heart rate monitor.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Orienteering – reading maps, a compass or GPS.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]* Building or construction – ideal for inside or outside reading plans and detail measuring.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]BZ’s initial model is available fitted with:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]BZ are currently setting up their retail dealer network in Australia, New Zealand and internationally with their world class product and are currently exporting to five countries.[/SIZE]

Its an American brand and not owned by the Italian monopoly that tries to control US sales via SunGlasses Hut and Walmart and the other store fronts they own. Oakley was put out of business by them, and now the brand owned by them. Maui Jim too! Boycot those brands.. Support the American owned and produced glasses.

Depends on your prescription:
Maua-Jim is one of those that can do 3+ Diopters in Cylinder and Sphere with a variable prism for up close, polarized, double gradient, quarter wave anti reflective etc.
Not cheap, just superb.

I have long subscribed to the theory that Sunglasses and car keys, along with certain expensive brands of socks, actually come to us from a parallel universe.
Occasionally, they go back.
