I wholeheartedly agree when I bought my 580g glass lensed Costas the clarity was just on a totally different level, I've dropped mine on a number of occasions and not broken the lenses yet, they cost me £280 at a shooting show, I'd happily buy another pair, I like the poly lenses but they do tend to scratch up and I'm fairly anal about looking after my kit! I think I've had mine 4 plus seasons now and look like new, it's a shame costas have stopped trading in the UK

The 580G is the one man

I have owned numerous pairs of Oakley still got one pair,I have also got Costa's and the R.M ones.The costa are plastic lense and are still quality but for the price I paid for the RM they are very good.They are heavier than my Costas but are comfy and the clarity is superb on them

Uninformed crap. The two pairs of Oakleys I use for fishing have angling specific lenses and were both around £130 a pair. That's a bit of bargain considering the technology that has gone into the lens and frame design/material and performance. Take your head out the sand pal.

But you can wear them all of the time because they are decent sunglasses.
Ive had a pair with their prizm p lenses for about 5 years and not only are they decent polarised glasses, they are decent sunglasses full stop that you can wear without being that guy that wears his c**p cheap fishing glasses all of the time
Yeah they're expensive but they serve two purposes for me and they're worth every penny imo

One company owns pretty much all the brands being discussed - EssilorLuxottica.
Most of the manufacturing is done in Italy and China.

This is true but they are each their own entity that've been acquired by EssilorLuxottica over many years. It doesn't mean they're all the same thing by any means (not that you suggested they are ).

Their prizm lens just for starters, then the materials they use to construct the frames and a lot more - I wonder how many people were aware they produce angling specific products... anyway, all details are on their website... https://www.oakley.com/en-gb/collections/watersports

I have a pair of Oakley in collaboration with orvis that i think were for fly fishing purchased from the US and a pair of gascan I think that are specifically for sea fishing (deep blue lenses) both really good. Then a few pairs of prizm and older polarised too
