These lenses are perfect for medium to bright conditions. If you want something other than the Black or Grey Iridium, the Ice is it. It has a nice hue looking from the outside and its comfortable looking through.

Have Ice in my Splice and it's badass. It has a great reflectivity and it up there with Ruby and +red iridium as far as how strking the color can be. As advertised, great for extreme and bright light conditions.

Many of my friends have these in their half jackets. Not too bad of a lens. Almost NO blue tint, though. It's almost like a mixture between black iridium and fire iridium.

The ice iridium lens is not exactly what I expected.It's definitely a very nice lens to look at(one of the oldest lens colors of oakley,let's not forget that),but I'm not really satisfied by their brightness reducing properties.With a light transmission of 10%,like oakley describes,I would expect them to cope with sun better than,at least,what I get.Don't get me wrong,They're just not as dark as the black iridium,although they have the same light transmission.Apart from that,they have a very nice tint,even for me,that I'm in favor of contrast lenses in general,and can be really worn on very bright days.If I wasn't aware of their light transmission,I would say that they're somewhere between the +red and the black iridium.Anyway,it's something that I can put up with,specially when I see that impressive reflection of the outer side of theirs on some mirror.

Had this in my bottle cap cool active lens a good replacement from my polarised lens can see through LCD clearly good for cycling. Funky and cool.

I recently bought these lenses at the Vault for my Silver Crosshairs and was expecting to be let down after reading the feedback. I wanted a lens color I didn't actually already have and am quite glad I didn't.
Pleasantly surprised by the mild look and the cool lens color. Indeed it is not in the class of 24K or other higher end lenses, but it is a great lens for most sunny days. And I found the blue to quite complimentary to the silver frame.
This would not be my go-to pair for a funeral or maybe a partly cloudy/partly sunny day (i have noticed those kind of days will seem to be somewhat bothersome with these lenses. Not a high contrast lens, but a good pair for most days.

A passable lens for full sun and moderate light. Colors are spot on when looking through them. The bluish mirror looks great on the outside without being too over the top. The lack of polarization makes them unsuitable for days with a lot of glare and driving in my opinion. Might invest in a set of Ice polarized at some point, but without polarization you get what you pay for.

I think this color is very over-hyped. For me, there is a noticeable difference (for the worse) compared to Black Iridium. This is a fashion lens, not a function lens.

from the outside these look awesome. however when wearing them, i find them rather boring. similar to a grey lens. nothing special. just for looks, not much functionality other than making sunny days bearable.

I have these in my FMJ-crystal splices and they are a very pleasant lens. On sunny days I find myself looking at the sky or trees and being amazed that there is no glare or eye strain, but I can see everything perfectly. Often you find great protection from the sun, but you're giving up visibility. Not here.

Just got a Radar Path lens in Ice Iridium. The look in sunshine is just amazing. I have both a polished aluminium and a metallic blue frame to complement it. The view is very much like Black Iridium with a cooler tone. Would be perfect with polarization

I own both Black Iridium and Ice Iridium. Although the same transmission, the ice appears to be a very little brighter, and the color perception is not 100% true like black. Ice is nicer from the outside though. Overall I prefer the black.

If you are looking for a lens with a dark neutral tint and you think that black is boring, than this lens is for you. I have this in a silver Square Wire 2.0, which is a cool combo.
TERRORISM -
Although not as "flashy" as its Blue Iridium counterpart, Ice Iridium looks great and still provides excellent protection against bright conditions. Because it has such low light transmission, however, its use is somewhat limited.
Tim cooper -
Nice looks very appealing but blue iridium is better I reckon.The view is identical to black iridium which is kind of weird maybe Oakley should of made the base blue rather than grey?Unlike the emerald it won't increase contrast even though emerald only slightly does but it is noticable. Good lens on silver frames and some black frames like minutes it goes off well on too.
Rick -
I prefer the Blue Iridium, but the Ice is a widely-popular lens for good reason. It is an all-round winner since it has a great look and is a fairly-decent lens to look through. It doesn't exactly inspire me, but I can see the appeal.

Love the Ice lenses

was expecting more of a blu hue when you look through but its the stadard grey lenses look great from the outside not as deep as the blue or oo blue, but a great everyday lense!
Munkfish -
Very comfortable to wear - have them in Penny's and OO's. Nice lens, prefer them to Black Iridium from the outside - they are a very rich blue.
RubyMars -
A spectacular lense. On a bright day these are beautiful from the outside. From the inside, a nice neutral transmission and the same level of darkness as you're black. So if you want dark, but also want some flash to you glasses to, this is the way to go. Usually best in a light colored frame. Oakley made a big run when everything was offered in Silver and Ice.
Pander -
Love the way it looks when looking though it as well as looking at it. The blue is just right. Nice agressive look on it. I have it in my Penny and in my Valve and both of them get great attention just because of the color lenses.
banarno -
Lovely Blue hue to look at,and very soothing on the eye to look through as well.
jumpman73 -
One of my all time favorite lenses. I use these the most since they are in my Juliets. I really need to pick up another set of replacement lenses for these since I use them so much. I can't say enough about them. I just love them.
dta15m -
the ice lenses look great in a light colored frame, i have em in my a wire, and for my xljs. the blue color is just awsome and looking through them they still look like your just looking through a black lens.
absolutmuah -
sweet lens.
looks good from all angles...
overall a very ver nice lens =)
hides your eyes well so u can check ot the chicks anytime you want to .. if that's what you're interested in.

I've tried these on back to back with a Black Iridium lense and at least looking through them, they're virtually indentical. From the outside, that blue face looks really cool. I guess it's for people who want the dark transmission of the black with a flashier look. Can't go wrong either way.
O.T.T. -
Really like these lenses. They have a similar transmission rate to the black iridium (the reason I got it) but are a bit more eyecatching for when the mood takes you.
sparra -
Superb lens, my favourite. Looks extremely cool, light transmission peforms brilliantly and works well in most light conditions.
x-metalman -
One of my all time favs. Ice is simply awesome. I first got this lens in my Splices and have loved them ever since. Nothing bad to say about Ice. It's a great alternative to it's flashy opposite, Fire.
MelG -
If you don't like the conservative Black Iridium this would be a good alternative as it performs much like it, and it has the same scratch resistant properties. Very nice for heavy light conditions.
oogie -
Love the optics on the blue iridium. No attempt to alter the hue of vision, just keeping it as a grey lens. But the blue iridium is simply beatiful and really enhances the look of many frames.
LEX7 -
I dont agree with everyone else on this lense.
I have this lens on my Black Chrome Straight Jackets
I do think it looks amazing when you are wearing it but I find it makes everything a rather boring greyish colour.
I do not know why oakley didnt make it so everything is blue when you look through it, A darker version of the Oakley light blue lens would have been much better.
zeroshiki -
very nice lenses. it has gray tint from the inside, like dann, eascoast, and brian said. but i think there are also a little amber colour at some light level. the blue iridium coating looks very cool, i get many of those looks from people(:D). too bad they scratch easily though.., got my first scratch on the second week(must be from misplacing it in the dashboard compartment). i give it a 4 star only becos of this. other than that, i'm very satisfied with these lenses.
BrianJ1888 -
Get these. Like Dann said, just like Black Iridium, but Blue outside. Much better alternative than Fire. Grey-base lenses are the way to go.
EastCoast -
Great lens. Looks cool from the outside, cuts the light nice from the inside. The Ice colour is a consistent finish (the colour doesn't change depending on your viewing angle unlike the G30 and +Red, for example). Although it says it offers the same transmission level, it seems not as dark as Black Iridium, which I attribute to the slightly different wavelengths they allow through.
Dann -
Ice is one of my other favorite lenses. It performs much like Black Iridium in light transmission and tinting, but the blue mirror coating looks stunning. I have these in my Splice's and couldn't be happier.
