Wow, I feel like these glasses are getting a bad rap. Rating glasses based on styling is very subjective. They will look good on some people and not on others. I'll admit, I wasn't excited about the styling when I ordered them, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they actually look on my particular face. But like I said, that is VERY subjective! As for their intended design with respect to quality and performance, these are amazing glasses. I was looking for a lightweight, casual pair of glasses that I could also use for driving. These fit the bill perfectly! I have a pair of metal Oakleys that I used for driving, but after hours of wearing them, they were heavy and left marks on my nose. These are extremely light weight and can be worn comfortably for hours. The down side is they may feel flimsy. I have owned these glasses for almost a year and they have held up just fine. They are flexible rather than brittle. I wear them more than any other pair of glasses and I've had no issues with durability. That said, I am generally easy on my glasses when driving and going out. I wouldn't wear these for mountain biking or other rough activities. Also, the polarized lenses are beautiful and perfect for driving. I use them on my motorcycle as well. They have a high ANSI impact rating, which is amazing for such lightweight glasses. (I usually use the helmet shield over 50 mph, though) And with the thin arms, they don't block much of my peripheral vision, which is important to me on the motorcycle. I own many pairs of Oakleys, but I wear these every day.

Frame: Jet Black
Lens: Polarized Black Iridium / Polarized Tungsten Iridium

I was lucky enough to grab a pair of these at a decent price, along with the extra lenses at no cost. These are extremely light. I was not expecting that. These are even lighter than my Nanowire's, and those are as light as a feather already. It's a mixed blessing though. While it may be light, it seems a little frail. The fit is great, and the wrap is awesome. They are very comfortable, yet snug at the same time.
Overall, these are excellent. The only issue is how frail the frame seems. It seems cheap and just not as good as a metal frame or a thicker o matter frame. All in all, a solid pair to add to the collection.

My first day out with the Ice Picks was with a buddy of mine who wears Maui Jims. When he saw me he said, "ah, you've gone to the dark side." Meaning he thought I had bought some Maui Jim's. I didn't buy them because of that, I bought them because I really like half frames. Half X, Flaks, Half J's, M Frames, etc. They are light, wrapped to cover my eyes from the sun better than most of the small lens Oaks, and they fit perfectly on my round head. I'm going to be wearing these a lot in corporate "dress" environments!

These glasses have everything I need. They are light, they are suitable in almost every weather condition and they are perfect for sport activities(perfect fit,hydrophobic coating,polarized,coverage of the eyes).And as mentioned before you can wear it all day without the "bling,bling" effect!

This is a perfect piece for people who want to benefit of oakley's great lens technology ( HDO & polarized ) but don't want to walk around with eyewear that draw attention. Size, weight and overall feel is very good, a comfortable piece for every day wear , perfect for in the car and the lens i chose is one of the best out there. VR28 black iridium polarized can be used in a wide range of weatherconditions.
one of my favorite pairs for every day use

Frame: Brown Tortoise
Lens: Tungsten Iridium Polarized

Had an opportunity to try these on recently at a local SGH, and unfortunately was not very impressed. For some reason the frames seemed very "plastic", and not at all sturdy. The lens coverage also seemed somewhat inadequate (too much of a rectangular shape), and the glasses were just too reminiscent of Maui Jims. If you're in the market for some semi-formal Oakleys with half-rim design, check out the Half Wire 2.0: much sturdier (metal frame), very comfortable, great styling, and superior coverage.

Lens: Tungsten Iridium

When i first saw pictures of these glasses i thought that they looked awful. Now that i have seen them in person i actually think they are rather nice. They are one of the lightest pairs of glasses i have ever tried on. The fit is quite comfortable and the lenses are small enough to fit many people yet large enough to provide a good amount of coverage. The style of the glasses is not my favorite, but is not nearly as bad as i thought it was when i first saw the pics. Overall a 4 out 5 becuase thought the styling is not great, they are a comfortable and very wearable pair of glasses.

Oakley is definitely gunning for Maui Jim with these bad boys. I saw the ice pick for the first time today and it is amazingly similar to the MJ Sport line (Sandy Beach, Kanaha, Makaha, and Hookipa). The lens size is a good middle of the road that will fit most people except those with very large or small craniums. The hinges were a little odd looking, but appear solid. The portion of the frame that supports the lenses appears sturdier than the Mauis, but these are so new that we will have to see. Also, Oakley's Hydrophobic coating blows MJ's clear shell out of the water. Given a 3 for lack of creativity, but all in all a solid pair of shades.
