Until last year I would swear on a bible that I would never see the benefit of a pair of sunglasses that cost a couple of hundred dollars. To me it just seemed absurd to pay that kind of money. Until I got a pair by way of a loophole in our vision insurance and cost me nothing outside of the monthly premium for our insurance.

I. Love. My. Costas.

They are top notch aren’t they?  I’m a firm believer in that you get what you pay for.  Sometimes it’s hard to figure out at times.  Over the years I could’ve bought 2 or 3 pairs of Costas for what I paid for the 15-20 Walmart polarized stuff.  I eventually bought UA safety sunglasses.  They worked for a bit.  Couple years. When they got worn out, I went Costa and wondered why I hadn’t done it before.  Same with shoes.  Regular UA, Nike tennis shoes last at best 3 months.  Idk why.  My wife bought me these “indestructible” shoes for Christmas.  Steel toe, puncture proof, slip resistant, and Kevlar (is it called an upper?).  After six months… not indestructible.  But my $200+ pair of redwings I’ve had for years.  Still waterproof too!
