well it was more of a joke but its also accepted like how black people can drop the n word on each other and its nothing but someone other drops it then its racist and it was just a joke cause the things in bold i've pretty much never seen in latinos round here

Just bought a pair of Revo Eco Spool's in blue and they fit like a glove.

BUT, honesty you should just go to a Sunglass Hut or the like to try some on until you find something you like.

Are Oakley, Maui Jim, and Costa Del Mar all about the same quality and level of protection, or is there actual proof that one is better than the others?

I'd say the difference is more design, just go for what fits you and the quality between those shouldn't be much different.

I would also add that I would not buy a pair of shades that I could not try outside. Keep in mind that some brands have many different color shades/coatings that are meant for specific activities.

Only problem with the replicas is that the lenses scratch in like 5 seconds. I have found some good Kenneth Cole Reaction glasses before at good prices (less than $20). I have a good set of Oakley Gas Cans w/polarized lenses and a pair of Costa Del Mar (I think they are the Mainsails)

I wear the Gas Cans when I am out on the Jet Ski... they tend to stay on better. I like my Costa Del Mars for fishing. They actually kill the glare better than my Oakleys.
