I think I've matured enough that I can handle having grown up sunglasses now, vs the cheapos from the local Holiday Gas Station.
I'm looking for glasses with:
Sun protection (I cannot be without sunglasses)
See through water for fishing
Durability
Anyone got a recommendation?

Costa are my latest high quality brand. I've been happy with them for going on two years now. They check all the boxes that you mentioned, at least for me.

I like Costas too. Make sure to get the 580g (glass)lens. Mirror blue or mirror green are great if spend time on the water.

Definitely green lenses for fishing.
I have solar bats with the moss green lens. I like them a lot, but plastic lens have their place.

I used to go with the $9.99 sunglasses section at Fleet Farm, but now that I'm getting older I skip those and go straight to the high end Fleet Farm $19.99 sunglasses. That's living the high life.
Mine either fall in the water, get stepped on or scratched so I don't bother buying ones that are too expensive. I once received a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses for being in a wedding and they were really nice. But those $200 sunglasses break just as easily as a $20 pair if you sit on them.

Costa or Maui Jim. I can't deal with crappy sunglasses. You'll pay for them though. Agree with the comment on the glass lenses. The extra weight takes a little getting used to. But, they last longer without scratching. Or you could go this route Don't forget your Zinka.  |

I use Maui jim's and love them. Plastic lenses scratch way too easy in the dusty desert southwest so glass is a must for me.  |

One of the issues I have is finding a pair large enough to fit my Mellon. Any of them run large?
