I've just received the two pairs of lenses today from Chris Spencer (thanks go to @cacatman for his part in setting this up). I must hasten to add, these are PROTOTYPES, so effectively, work in progress. I have been entrusted .......ho-ho-ho...to try out a pair of Blue Polarized etched and a Ruby Polarized etched. Full details for the lenses including which manufacturer used, I'm sworn to secrecy, but note, a VERY BIG player............
The Blues are beautifully cut and appear an almost (haven't measured them so assuming they are)identical size to OEM. The fit is tight, no jangle-jangle here, which is a VERY salient point.
The colour is more akin to a very light blue, an Azure or Arctic than standard Ice Iridium with just a soup-con of green, I've made some comparison photos:

You may have also noticed, just how VIVID the lenses are, they are a shocking blue.
The base colour is a Bronze, so, gentle on the eyes during harsh Spring sunlight(I know, in England......shock-horror)which occurred for the entire day. First day was easy, tomorrow I'm going for a little jaunt with my brother, so I'll be giving them (and myself) a little work out. I'll be giving a report of how they faired, later.
As for the Rubys, I'm chomping at the bit, but I will finish giving a fair assessment of the Artic pair first, then, onto the Ruby Polarized.
