best sunglasses ever saw on local knowledge now i cannot live without them thanks Ali

[@LocalKnowledge]

Awesome. We don't leave the house without them.

After several "trial & error" buys and returns, I settled on Costa's King Tide sunglasses in Copper Silver Mirror and Sunrise Silver Mirror lens. It took me several hours of research and shopping but I bought both pairs for under $ 400.00 shipped. I was sold on Costas because of my Galvestons I've had for several years. They're still my 'go to' sunglasses for everyday and driving.

Yes thank you

[@LocalKnowledge]

thanks for watching

[@Fishingforbasstv]

what do you think about the sunrise silver mirror lens vs the amber? I have a pair of green lens which i love , but need a lens for the cloudy days / early morning and sunset situations.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Honestly I've been wearing the Sunrise silver a lot lately on our heavy overcast days and they are awesome. If I only had one pair though it would be amber or green mirror (a derrivitative).

[@Fishingforbasstv]

@@LocalKnowledge so amber is good for sunrise / sunset & cloudy days?

[@zekand]

The amber lenses are more of a light blocker than the sunrise silver. Sunrise silver is really helpful for those low light moments where amber is more of a color enhancer. I believe the official number is 17% light emissions on the amber lenses, where as the sunrise silver is 38%. I could be off so don't quote me to close lol

Pretty informative. Good salesman 😂

[@LocalKnowledge]

Glad you liked it!

[@vdub1955]

Living in New England we have more overcast which would you sunglasses would you recommend

[@AliHussainy]

I generally use the green mirrors offshore because we have a lot of overcast days here also. If it's really dark out, the sunrise silver is awesome. But If I had to pick one it's def green mirror. Hope it helps.

[@JJMassar]

Would that third one be considered the copper lens?

[@LocalKnowledge]

Yep!

[@phanaticd3857]

Is that last one copper silver or sunrise silver?

[@LocalKnowledge]

Copper. We do like Sunrise Silver on our super overcast days though!

[@EmmaSarahEvelynkeys]

Do they come clear

[@LocalKnowledge]

No, but you can have them customized. They do have a very light sunrise silver that we like. It's great for low light.

[@tomdavis8757]

Costa doesn’t make an amber lens in 580. Its copper. Splitting hairs maybe but there’s most definitely a difference between the two colors. The old 400 lenses did have amber. Cheers

[@LocalKnowledge]

You are correct.

[@treyfisse8593]

I thought the 580G green mirror is an amber base. I could be wrong

[@tomdavis8757]

@@treyfisse8593no sir. It’s a copper base (Costas words not mine.) Similar to amber but with a bit more red. The application is similar as they are both high contrast lens colors. It boils down to personal preference. Everyone’s eyes are different so there’s no “hands down” better color. I believe the confusion stems from back in the 400G days the green mirror lens did have an amber base but the introduction of the 580G they went to a copper base. Cheers

[@brentking5750]

Amber wich one

[@tommyb9246]

To bad costa advertises all they’re lenses being able to purchase them in prescription is a lie, I can’t find any dealer that I can get the sunrise silver lens in prescription!!! Nothing like false advertising!!!

[@LocalKnowledge]

Not sure I have seen that advertised but sorry you can't get them.
