Good review & fair. Here's my take FWIW. I've fished with pretty much every high-end polarized sunglass since the late 80's. I won't list them all since we all know the brands. Lot's of good ones over the years, in both Poly, and glass. I was looking to try a 'Rose' colored lens since I am color blind and 'heard' that the rose color offers great color separation and contrast. Other than Maui Jim, Bajio was the only company I could find who offered a rose colored polarized lens. My choice was a 'glass' rose lens from Bajio in their 'Nato' frame, as the rose lens from Maui Jim was only offered in poly, and I'm not dropping $250+ on plastic shades anymore. I am 100% satisified with the Rose Bajio, and it has actually far exceeded my expectations. They are extremely clear as you'd expect, the polarization is top notch, and build quality is excellent. The rose color is actually one of their 'lighter' lenses and I was concerened it may be too light in very bright conditions, but they great in any light condition. Running shallow waters in my skiff, I am able to pick up sand bars, shoals, and rocks very clearly, and sooner. They work excellent in all water colors, and light conditions. Not too bright, not too dark. The rose Bajio color separation and contrast is the best I've ever experienced so far. One thing I REALLY enjoy about the rose color over an 'amber', or 'copper' lens is that you get the contrast and pop without everything looking 'smoggy', or that yellow/dirty look. The rose is a very 'pleasing' color to look through and actual colors are more accurate. Yes, I know I'm color blind, but I've learned over time what colors I'm looking at on the water. So if anyone is considering a Rose colored lens, I can highly recommend Bajio. The only thing may be if that your are extremely sensitive, and I mean EXTREMELY sensitive, to bright sun, . . . the rose color is indeed one of their lighter lenses., so you may want to keep that in mind . . but it doesn't give you that harsh yellow, copper, amber POW, if you catch my drift. Not affilitaed with Bajio in anyway, I'm just a sunglass dork. Hope this helps.

I switched to Bajio's after finding talking to some reps at a boat show over a year ago. I agree, it may be hard to "see" a difference. One thing I have noticed after wearing them practically every day with many days being on the water, is that they haven't scratched.... and I'm not overly careful with them. My Costas that they replaced (and all my previous Costas it seems) had scratched. I did opt for the glass lenses since Bajio informed me they were more scratch resistant. They may be a bit heavier and more expensive, but to not have scratched, I'm impressed! Hoping to get a second pair of Bajio's soon ;)

I too believe their quality has dropped off. The best thing they have going for them is that their blue lens tech is still one of the better ones out there but bajio’s overall quality (including customer service) is surpassing that of the shell of costa luxottica now owns.

I’ve found that the quality of costa has diminished drastically since Luxottica bought them out. Customer service is nonexistent as well… I like that Bajio is a Florida based company owned by Americans. That’s why I always wore costas, I’ve been looking for a replacement for years and I think I finally found it.

Glass! Ive had issues with polymer(plastic) lens in the past scratching just by cleaning them even when rinsed with water so I only trust Glass lens. However there is a part 2 coming soon!! Now that I’ve actually had a chance to wear my bajios over a period of time and compare them day in and day out to the costas. Overall I trust bajio’s customer service more than I’ll ever trust costas.
