Polarized ICE PICK Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-956)

Polarized ICE PICK Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-956)

Polarized ICE PICK Sunglasses When we created ICE PICK™ polarized sunglasses, we weren’t just chipping through the permafrost of uninspired style that keeps the industry in an ice age. We wanted to crystallize sport performance in a look that takes to the street, so whether you’re out to thrill or chill, you’ve got the best vision possible. We started with comfortably lightweight O MATTER® frame material, gave it aggressive durability and sculptural attitude, and matched it with optics that have to be experienced to be believed. That’s on top of a comfortable Three-Point Fit that uses UNOBTAINIUM® components to increase grip with sweat. Even a small amount of glare can put performance on thin ice, and when the sun bounces off flat surfaces, the reflected light can be 10 times brighter. That’s why places with pavement, snow or water demand polarized lenses, but most of the industry makes them with techniques that create haze and optical distortion. We utilize a liquid infusion process that bonds at the molecular level to achieve the clearest, sharpest polarized lenses possible. They block glare with better than 99% efficiency, and they come standard with ICE PICK™. The lenses are enhanced with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent smudge-resistant coating that repels skin oils, lotions and dust with a slippery surface that prevents water sheens from getting a foothold. The back side is treated with a permanent anti-reflective coating, and lens options include IRIDIUM® coatings to balance and tune light transmission. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) maximizes clarity while letting us contour the lenses for a greater range of peripheral view. The optical performance of HDO® is so precise, ICE PICK™ beats all ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity. It also meets ANSI standards for impact resistance, thanks to a lens material called PLUTONITE® that offers the added benefit of 100% UV filtering. Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet with greater than 99% polarization efficiency Comes standard with Oakley Hydrophobic/Oleophobic anti-smudge lens coating on all lens options Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Optimized peripheral vision and side protection of 8.75 base lens curvature Comfort and performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Optical precision and performance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards Impact resistance that meets ANSI Z87.1 Basic impact standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA/UVB/UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm Patented XYZ Optics® for maximum clarity at all angles of vision Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coatings Added glare reduction of backside Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating Patented hydrophilic Unobtainium® earsocks ensure a snug, secure fit Metal Icon Accents Includes Oakley protective torpedo case Includes highest quality microfiber lens cleaning cloth

Nice Sunglasses
Date: July 19, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, excellent contrast, wax-like lense coating

I bought these a week ago and love them. I've had trouble finding a pair of sunglasses to fit my wide head. These fit very nice, stay in place, and are very light and comfy. Stylish enough to wear with the nicer casual clothing, yet well made for the performance end of the spectrum. The anti-reflective coating on the inside is very important and noticable. I was going for a more expensive pair that were metal until I tried these babies on. Oakley has mastered the material these are made of to be durable enough for my active job. I've never heard of a friend breaking a pair of plastic Oakleys! If you like the style, these sunglasses are definately worth the money.

Very Light
Date: July 1, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Cons: seems flimsy

These sunglasses are very light, but therein lies the fault. They are so light that they seem almost flimsy. Great other than that. I'm in Iraq, so a good pair of sunglasses for wearing around the camp is essential.
