    Default Maui/Costas Question

    I'm curious to know if either of these brands, when outfitted with glass lenses, have coating problems after being left in vehicles.

    It seems that no matter the brand/price, I have lens coating issues due to prolonged heat when the glasses are stored in vehicles.

    I've got 2 pairs of Maui's, and they reside in the house. I'm looking for a pair of glass lens models as long as I don't have to worry about the deterioration.

    Thanks.

    I’m on my ..... 20th, maybe more pair of 580g costas and never had an issue. They are either on my head or around my rear-view mirror.

    Got RX MJ’s they stay in my truck when not on the boat, they’ve been perfect.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Which is easier to get RX lenses for? I can get frames for both, but have to send the Costa’s back for the RX. Not sure about MJ.

    Had both, my Costas sucked, everything about them. The MJ’s are great even with the progressive lenses but they aren’t cheap.

    I’ve had several of each, with no coating problems. I’d bet it’s more you than the shades.

    I quit Costa years ago when I realized they were like wearing a brick, the lens are sub-par, and customer service went to poo.

    My Maui’s stay in my truck a lot and no issue. Also Maui is leaps and bounds better than costa or any other glasses I’ve ever owned.

    Fuck Costas. Will never buy another pair. Bought 2 pairs of Maui’s a year ago and had no issues. One pair or another stay in the truck. Not on the dash in the blazing sun of course. I don’t think any can withstand that.
