{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Costa Sunglasses Lens Color

Richard covered most of what I was going to say. 

There are also plenty of safety rated glass lenses out there and Costa's glass is impact resistant. With a full wrap frame, the weight savings is negligible going with plastic. The only damage I've done to them is burn pits in them wearing them while grinding metal (Yup. I'm also the guy that will climb under your car to look at something in his best suit) and this pair I have is over two years old. I'm nearsighted and get Costa's prescription glass in the copper with green mirror. I fish offshore a fair amount in super bright sunlight and they work great. I've never liked gray lenses - generally too dark and not enough contrast for me.

I broke my grey Costa Hatches on a roller coaster. The repair costs for new lenses cost as much as a new pair of hatches, so I'm going to buy a different model with full frames instead. 

What color lenses do you suggest for fishing around trees and the environment we have in the DC area? I found my grey lenses to be a little too dark in the shade. Also, is there a big difference between glass and plastic lenses? I'd prefer 1 general purpose set of glasses, but I could be convinced to do eventually purchase 2.
