The Oakley Leadline 9473 sunglasses are built for women who need performance features in a square acetate frame. Lightweight O-Matter construction, no-snag Unobtainium nosepads, and molded temple earsocks that actually stay comfortable all day—no sliding, no pressure points, no hair pulling.
Performance Features That Work
The square acetate frame features a 6-base wrap for better coverage and peripheral vision than traditional fashion sunglasses. O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary frame material—stress-resistant, lightweight, and durable enough for daily wear. The Unobtainium nosepads provide a secure, no-slip grip that gets tackier when you sweat, and they're specifically designed not to catch or pull hair. Molded-in earsocks at the temples enhance retention without pressure points.
Available in multiple colorways ranging from classic Matte Black to translucent Purple and clear frames, many paired with Oakley's Prizm lens technology. Prizm lenses fine-tune the color spectrum by filtering specific wavelengths of light—enhancing contrast, sharpening details, and reducing eye fatigue. All lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation.
Prescription-Ready
The Leadline 9473 is prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, and specialty lenses.
Who It Fits
The Leadline is sized for women with small to medium faces. The square shape flatters oval, round, and heart-shaped faces. The hair-friendly design is a standout feature for anyone tired of sunglasses that snag ponytails or pull strands when removing them.

These fit perfectly on my face, not too big and not too small and they sit on top of my head snug enough to hold my hair back and stay on my head without falling down. I would highly recommend these sunglasses, very nice for a great price!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Oakley Leadline 9473 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Oakley Leadline 9473 is fully prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, and specialty lenses. The frame supports a wide range of prescriptions, and you can pair your Rx with Oakley Prizm lens technology or standard prescription lenses with UV protection.
What is Oakley Prizm lens technology and how does it work?
Oakley Prizm lenses fine-tune vision by filtering specific wavelengths of light to enhance color, contrast, and detail. Unlike traditional tints that just darken your view, Prizm manipulates the light spectrum to make colors more vivid and improve visual clarity. All Prizm lenses provide 100% UV protection and reduce eye fatigue.
Do the Leadline sunglasses have polarized lens options?
Yes, the Oakley Leadline 9473 is available with several Prizm Polarized lens options including Prizm Rose Gold Polarized, Prizm Deep Water Polarized, Prizm Sapphire Polarized, Prizm Tungsten Polarized, and Prizm Grey Polarized. Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement.
Are the Oakley Leadline nosepads really hair-friendly?
Yes, the Leadline features no-slip Unobtainium nosepads specifically designed to provide enhanced grip without snagging hair. This is a key feature for women with long hair or ponytails. The nosepads get tackier when you sweat to keep the frames in place without pulling or catching strands.
What face shape works best with the Leadline square frame?
The Oakley Leadline's square frame shape flatters oval, round, and heart-shaped faces. The frame is sized for women with small to medium faces and features a 6-base wrap for better coverage. Customers report the fit is balanced—not too big or too small—and the frames stay secure without sliding down.
What is O-Matter frame material and why does Oakley use it?
O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary lightweight frame material that's stress-resistant, durable, and comfortable for all-day wear. It's significantly lighter than traditional acetate while maintaining durability for active use. O-Matter frames are a signature feature across Oakley's performance and lifestyle collections.

Oakley Leadline vs. Spindrift: Square or Round?
The Oakley Leadline 9473 and Spindrift 9474 were released together as part of Oakley's Women's Collection and share the same performance DNA—O-Matter frames, Unobtainium nosepads, molded temple earsocks, and Prizm lens options. The key difference is shape: the Leadline offers a square, Wayfarer-inspired silhouette while the Spindrift features a trendy round lens design.
If you prefer classic, versatile styling that flatters most face shapes, the Leadline is the stronger choice. The square frame works well with oval, round, and heart-shaped faces and has broader appeal for everyday wear. If you're drawn to modern, on-trend aesthetics and have an oval or square face that suits round frames, the Spindrift delivers that contemporary look with the same Oakley performance features.
Both frames are prescription-ready, support progressive lenses, and come in similar price ranges. Your decision comes down to personal style preference—timeless square or modern round.
Leadline vs. Feedback: Lifestyle Square or Aviator?
The Oakley Feedback 4079 takes a different approach with an aviator frame in metal construction. While the Leadline is built for active lifestyles with lightweight, impact-resistant O-Matter, the Feedback offers a more refined, polished look with metal frames. The Feedback is ideal if you want classic aviator styling, but it won't handle the same level of active use as the Leadline's sport-driven design.
The Leadline is the better choice for women who need sunglasses that transition from workouts to errands to outdoor activities. The O-Matter frame is more durable, the hair-friendly nosepads are a practical advantage, and the price point is typically lower. Choose the Feedback if aviator styling is your priority and you're looking for a dressier frame for less active occasions.
