    Cabela’s in Rogers and Scheels in EP both have good selection. Honestly though, I would not buy them in person. I would simply go there and try them on to see which ones you like the best and then buy them online for half the cost.

    That’s what I did. Unless of course they price match an online cost.

    I like having stores around. I’ll buy in person.

    Thanks for the info toast

    I’ll add in if anyone has a pair of women’s 580 blue mirror lens pair laying around I’ll make an offer.

    I would call first to see if they have more than 1 pair in stock.

    Wise man, I prefer to make my purchases from brick and mortar also.

    Maybe find the ones you want and call around to make sure that they have in stock. I hate shopping, find what I have want and go to store to purchase. Scheels is where I would start though.

    580 blue mirror lens

    Either one is good but green is the best all-around color. Blue is better for very bright times but green is better when light is mixed because they handle shade better. The blue lenses are a grey base which is the darkest tint, green lenses are a copper base which isn’t as dark so you can see in lower light still.

    This. If you were only going to buy one lens color, do the green. Blue is designed for ultra bright conditions. Green will work in both bright and cloudy conditions.

    There’s 2 types of lenses too. The 580G is for glass and the 580P is for polycarbonate. The glass costs more but is more scratch resistant. The polycarbonate is shatter proof. If you’ve never worn glass lenses I advise you try some before you buy. The weight is noticeable.

    I wish honestly, my big melon never fits hats or glasses well.

    These will be experimented for some photosensitivity for upcoming concerts. Can’t find blue cross polarized lens anywhere, after some googling these lens may be a close second.

    I would recommend not buying Costas that have the rubber nose piece built in. I have had to have mine replaced twice. The last time they didn’t have the right color lens available and my only option was to change to a different color lens on a replacement. I haven’t been wearing them much since.

    Concur! Green with amber base is, IMO, the best lens for full day and around use.

    Dickssportinggoods (usually have $20 off) is where I bought my first pair and online after that.
