My quest: Find an Oakley polarized lens that is as pleasing to look thru as Tungsten Iridium Polarized for extremely bright conditions. I just tried Ice Iridium Polarized in a Flak Jacket XLJ. i agree with the comments here on lack of color separation or contrast. The gray base creates a lighting effect that reminded me of a sunny/overcast day. I think i would like to try the Deep Blue pol and Shallow blue polarized lens also, but not pleased with Ice polar, hence the 3 stars.
Switching between Ice pol and tungsten pol, the amount of light allowed thru seems more than 6% (9% vs. 15%). The tungsten pol is much brighter, more colorful, and more true to actual color. The increased brightness on sunny day is not enough to make me squint as the polarization is very soothing. My search will continue.

Got a set of these the other day to go with my awesome Half Xs. I love the way they cut through the glare and colours remain true. However, they're not as warm and pleasing to look through as my gold iridium polarised lenses - they're a bit bland in comparison, but still very fine lenses.

I just wanted to add another comment: I just bought Emerald Iridium, and the two compared next to each other has a way different appearance. I know a lot of people love those Emerald Lenses, but they seem to lack any contrast, even though they're labeled neutral. The ice are labeled neutral, but burst with color. Maybe it's because it's polarized? I don't know. The color of the ice polarized from the outside is nice too. There is a hint of purple, with a blend of bluish colors which look real nice. I think these lenses deserve more in terms of Contrast. They definitely make things pop.

I was skeptical about buying these due to the remarks left here, but these are much better than what I thought. I have standard black iridium lenses, and when I compare the two next to each other, it seems as though the ice iridium has much better contrast. It might be also due to the polarization on the ice, but yeah...They're very nice and look sweet.

Just ordered a custom pair of jawbones equipped with the Polarized Ice Lenses. The frame and everything else is a polished black so i think they will look pretty tough looking...Iv'e seen bad customer reviews on shipping time and Oakley actually getting the custom selections correct....lets hope not ! I am lookong forward to wearing these this summer.

Can't quite understand how people find these too dark, I've had mine a couple of days now and prefer the Ice to my Fire Iridiums on a dull day. Lovely neutral image, not overly punchy and the view out of these is not as 'muddy' as the Fire - I guess down to the neutral nature of the light.

Not quite neutral, I noticed the normally featureless white sky this afternoon has a nice bit more contrast in the cloud that you can't see without glasses and is slightly blue/violet.

My 5th and already favourite Jawbone lens.

Mine are prescription progressives mounted on Splinter Light frames, and polarized. They are simply too kool, truly icy - superior styling,superior fashion and great optics overall.

Down side: a little too dark and scratches easily on the outside.

These lenses are great!
They don't alter colours at all, and they look very nice.
I have to agree however that they do scratch very easily (the lenses are quite durable, but the iridium coating scratches really easily).
Another point that I don't feel has been stressed is that they are EXTREMELY dark, and are only really suited to extremely bright sunlight. I live in England, and only remember 1 day (in the previous year) when it's bright enough to wear them, without it being too dark.

bought the replacement for my polished Juliet. much more soothing to look through than fire polarized IMHO. because of the grey base, every colour looks the same as nature intended.

To truly appreciate polarized, you have to wear it on a very hot bright day where even the air looks and feels hot.
Wearing it, it just cuts through all the glares, and you get perfect crystal-clear razor-sharp high definition vision.
It's so good in fact that it can even cut through some minor haze or fog, try it and believe it.

Incomparable to anything else out there, and i feel even more darker than the black iridium polarized (10%) even though the stated difference is only 1%.

5 Stars and as someone said, THE BEST lens Oakley makes, atleast for function

extremely cool looking, reflects anything the sun can throw at it, no way can anyone see ur eyes when they're hidden behind a pair of these. everything looks bluish-grey. kinda calming and soothing. makes me feel cool even if i'm in the blazing sun.

Very little difference that I can tell between this and its non-polarized cousin. I much prefer Blue Iridium and wish it had been offered in as many different configurations as the polarized and non-polarized Ice was.

Nice blue tint, more than ooBlue, but not favourited. Polarization...But some good contrast you could expect and very good for bright light!!!

Ice lenses are pretty much like Black Iridium lenses, same base but with a flashier Blue Iridium coat that make them stand out more. And like the Black Iridium Polarized, these are great if you live in sun-drenched area surrounded by water.

One of my fav polar lens, 2nd best only to fire polar nice color
It does make you stand out in a crowd and it's a cool style.

Very nice lens to look though.
Very soothing on the eye,and the polarization cuts down on glare if you are near water.

While I tend to like all of Oakley's polarized lenses, the Ice version is really "smooth". Ice iridium itself is a pretty blue with soft grey base ... and the polarization is just an added bonus.

Two words: crystal clear!!! Lens tint is a nice neutral color that I find to be relaxing to look through. I love the way they enhance everythings color but still leave things looing natural. As for the coating the outside of the lens is not as reflective as I would like it to be (people can see your eyes through the lens which I dont like in an iridium) but the deep blue is still very nice to look at as well as the purple fade on the sides. Scratches extremely easy so be sure to keep glasses in microfiber bag or case. Polarization in this lens just tops it off for me. Great optics! No other company even comes.

I love the color of this lens. Ice is always a great choice for looking great. Team that with the great Oakley polarization and you have some solid optics.

Ive got this lens on my Electric Blue Straight jackets. Basically the same things I said about ICE iridium goes for this one. The Polarization does improve this lens but not enough to give it a better rating

the polarization works really well with these lenses, cutting the glare dramatically without making things look artificial with cheap polarized lenses. colours stay true and everything remains neutral, with nice detail. really classy looking lenses.

Pros:
- very good optical quality. Extremly clear (probably like all Oakley lenses).
- cuts glare
- enchances your depth perception (maybe only my opinion)
- very nice color
Cons:
- scratches extremly easy (probably like all Oakley lenses ?). I got the first scratches in a week from a occasional finger touch on the interior of the lens. ALWAYS keep the glasses in the microbag when not wearing them. Never try to clean them when they are dry (use water first). Keep the microbag clean.
- Oakley says that the lens transmision is neutral. My opinion is that they give a warm (red) tint to everything (Ex: sometimes the clouds on the sky seem to have a violet color).

The Best Lens Oakley Makes. Period. I wear these in my Half Jackets almost all day. Worth paying the Polarized premium (plus you get a cooler frame color). Cuts glare drastically, pretty durable, nice and dark. A big plus is the neutral contrast because your eyes don't get as fatigued as when you use an increased contrast lens. SOOOOO worth it.
