Solid condom worth trying
These are pretty good condoms, particularly for well endowed and girthy guys. The Fire/Ice lube is a plus or minus depending on your preference. I find it just ok. Can take it or leave it, but I did enjoy the fit and sensation of the condoms in general.

Pros
Fit well, large head, sturdy, mild sensations from lube.
Cons
Price, you either like Fire/Ice or you don't, sticky aftermath on him. Only 10 or 3 packs.
We tried a 10-pack of the Trojan Fire & ice condoms over the past 6 months on and off. They were my Girlfriend's idea & purchase, since she had also introduced us to the his/her warming/cooling lubricants from KY. I'd say she enjoyed them, but I wasn't that crazy about the lubes myself. They were ok, but I don't particularly care for the warming/cooling sensations on my penis, but I wouldn't go so far to say it was painful or terrible. We have since discovered better lubed since joining EF, that put them to shame.
The condoms are latex and come with his/her lubes inside and out. The package claims both partners get hot/cold feelings. I'd say that I felt a cooling sensation after putting one on, but don't recall a really noticeable warming sensation. The overall sensation is mild, but noticeable for me and about the same for her. Nothing extreme really. Nothing to write home about either. I always use extra lube on my penis before putting condoms on for better sensation, so this can dilute the effect some I would imagine. Some say its like putting Icy Hot on your genitals and it is, but in a much less intense way (ie: not painful or severe for us anyway)
The actual condoms are ok. They look a little funny on the head and do not have a noticeable reservoir tip, but they do have plenty of extra headroom and fit comfortably. The diagram on the box shows a tip, but when you put them on it appears there is none. I'd say the head are larger than Trojan magnums easily, but they taper down the further you get down the shaft, so they fit secure, but have plenty of movement when you thrust. I like that. I hate tight constricting condoms. They are not comfortable and they lessen your sensation on the head of your penis. If they are really tight, they even seem to shrink your girth somewhat and nobody wants that!
On the other hand, Fire and Ice has a pleasant fit and feel good in use. They don't feel like the thinnest condoms in the world upon opening the package, but something about the design makes them perform as well as thinner condoms do. It's just too bad they don't make them without the Fire and Ice lube (or maybe they do and I don't know it?).
These performed well and never broke or anything. They did not cause any irritation or negative reaction with either of us. I think they are good condoms overall, especially if you are into the warming/cooling thing. I would probably not buy them again, because of the lube, since there are other good condoms out there that are cheaper, thinner and without these lubes, but if my Girlfriend brought these home again I wouldn't complain either.
All in all they are good. I think everyone has a different reaction to the warming and cooling gels and they seem to be a love it or hate it item. So, if you are a girthy and/or well endowed man and you like the Fire/Ice, by all means give these a try. If you don't like Fire/Ice, then it's not going to matter to you how good/large the condoms are.
The packaging is noticeably larger and thicker than a standard condom and they are rolled looser kinda like the lambskin condoms. Not a tight circle like most condoms.
There is an ample amount of lube, but I am never one to rely on condom lubes alone. We always add our own inside and out, so we don't have to stop and reapply and maximize our pleasure. Generously lubing the inside of a condom really helps with my sensations.
EF sells them in 10 or 3 packs. I guess Trojan is following the trend of giving you less for the same money, like other industries or they are just positioning these as premier condoms. I only just noticed that now. I assumed they were a dozen like most condoms. Shame on you Trojan.

Experience
These leave your penis feeling a little sticky after use and feel the need to wash off with soap and water. With the lifestyles ultra sensitive we use normally, I don't feel that way (with the use of Probe silky light lube...see my review). There is a slight latex smell as with any latex condom. I did not and would not want to taste the lube or after effects of using these on my partner.
Those with latex allergies should avoid any latex condoms.
We used the last one the other night and to give you some idea how loose these fit, when I took off our new Ego E3 vibrating cock ring (the charge died), the condom slipped off with it. I was, however, able to easily slip it back on in seconds and finish our encounter. That would not be possible with most condoms or at best you might create an air bubble and risk popping it. They still fit snug at the base and don't slide off on their own, while giving you some freedom at the head.
I'm not sure how these would be for anal.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
These are ok condoms. The shape and feeling are ok and they are great for endowed guys too, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them. They are overpriced, only come 10 to a pack and on the thick side too. If my GF brought them home I would use them, but I personally won't be buying them. The fire & Ice part, I can take or leave.
