I found this useful in picking out frames and sizes

Well........
you ain't cool unless you get you a pair of "Kenny Chesney Limited Edition" Costas!

Are you kidding me!!!???? Kenny Chesney??? That dude really gets on my nerves.

So while we are on the subject, how much does it cost to change out lenses to a different color? Would I be better off just getting a new pair?

$60 for 400s

$99 for 580s....

I really liked the Zanes (ML) and the Jose (ML) when I tried on my brother's glasses but I have to wear out a few of these Hammerheads before I buy a new pair. I have a large noggin' and they were smaller than the Hammerheads..

I got the Brine Costas after trying on several pairs at FTU. I think they're a medium sized frame, or at least smaller than the L/XL frames. They fit well and don't slide down my nose when I sweat. The 580 lenses are the only way to go. Bought them from a seller on eBay and for $100 off retail, free 2 day shipping and no sales tax.

Johnny,
I really like the Rincons in 580. I can't stand big glasses. Check them out

another Brine fan here...have them and the fathoms but the brines fit my particular noggin better.

they look very similar....

Keep an eye on cheapnsteep or whatever that site is called. I have a box full of different models I've purchased in the last 2 weeks for $50 a pair

I have Harpoons 580/ RX Glass lens green mirror. I really like mine. I think if you go with glass lens they will tend to be on the heavy side.

I have the Harpoons w/ 580 green mirror too. They are the best fit for me but I have a pretty big dome

stringers with green mirror

Just got the frigates off eBay for$169 delivered. Ordered on saturday afternoon and they were in my mailbox Monday afternoon. I got the silver frame with green 580 glass. I have a small head and they fit great. I have tried the fathoms, stringers, brines, and several others to no avail. I am very happy with the fit. A huge step up from my oakleys.

Ive had my fathoms for over 8 yrs and wouldnt trade them for anything(cept 580s)...

Fathom 400s Green Tint

I saw those same glasses on e-bay...pretty smooth looking. Well I went ahead and got me pair of Frigates off of e-bay last night. I was going to get the green lens but I got to thinking (rarity I know) since my hammerheads already have the 580 green lens, I will just keep them for back up and get the 580 blues in the frigates (matte black frame) and that's exactly what I did. I hope I ordered them in time before I hit the road to Gulf Shores, Alabama this Saturday.

Thaks for all the info!
