I am on my 3rd pair of Kaenon Gauge glasses. They are great glasses. I had my first pair for about year and a half when the kaenon name plate was ripped off on a camping trip. I emailed Kaenon and was told that they would repair the name plate if I sent them in. At the time the lenses had some wear, so I asked them to look into replacing them. I was more than willing to pay for some new lenses. To my suprise, they ended up sending me a complete new pair of glasses (#2 for me) free of charge. Ufortunately, I lost that pair a couple of months later but I was so impressed with Kaenon's customer service that I bought my 3rd pair....great glasses and a great company. Plus I could be wrong but I think they are based in SoCal.

Hey Joe,
I love my kaenons but it dosen't hurt that I won my $200.00+ pair from Fastlane in a raffle.That sounds like a good deal at Nordstrom rack I think I will be heading there tommorow for a back up pair.

Never had a single pair of sunglasses make it through a pump out there. I think everyone can agree on Polarized though. Welcome to life in high def

I like blue costa del mar fathoms.

I have been wearing Costa Harpoons for years now. I have the green mirror glass lens and it definitely holds up better than poly. The customer service is great too (as with Maui Jim). I have sent my current pair back to the factory twice, once for a broken arm (totally my fault, replaced for free) and the second time for a broken lens( again my fault, they took a direct 10foot drop onto nonskid, new lenses $60). I am now on my 4 th year of ownership. BTW, I also own polarized Oakleys and Maui Jim, Costas are my favorite.

i have oakley fishing series, prescription glasses and they are expensive!!! and i don't want to buy more than one. if and when i have a yard sale, i DON'T want to lose these. so every everyone out there who don't want to lose their expensive, not so expensive glasses, don't forget to use Croakies.
