The Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 sunglasses bring performance-grade features to a modern square frame designed for women who refuse to compromise. Built with lightweight BiO-Matter—an eco-friendly material made from at least 56% bio-based castor oil—paired with ultra-lightweight C-5 metal temples, these sunglasses deliver all-day comfort without the weight. The square lens shape offers generous coverage and a contemporary look that transitions from trail hikes to city streets.
Prizm Lens Technology: See More Detail
Every Sielo SQ comes equipped with Oakley's Prizm lens technology, engineered to enhance color and sharpen contrast so you can see more detail in any environment. Whether you choose Prizm Grey Gradient for everyday versatility, Prizm Rose Gold for variable light, or Prizm Deep Water Polarized for water activities, each lens is tuned to boost specific colors while filtering out visual noise. Polarized options add a filter that blocks glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement, reducing eye strain during long days outdoors.
Built for Active Lifestyles
Oakley's Unobtainium nosepads increase grip with perspiration, keeping the frame securely in place during workouts or humid conditions. Soft-touch earsocks and Oakley's Three-Point Fit system ensure the frame rests only on the bridge and behind the ears—eliminating pressure points on your temples and maintaining optical alignment. The full-rim construction protects the lenses while the mixed-material design keeps the overall weight low. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and skip the contact lenses.
The Sielo SQ is available in 11 color combinations, from classic Polished Black Ink with Prizm Grey Gradient to bold Matte Navy with Prizm Rose Gold. All lenses provide 100% UV protection up to 400nm. If you want Oakley's performance DNA in a frame that works as well at brunch as it does on the bike path, the Sielo SQ delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 is prescription-ready. The frame can accommodate single vision, bifocal, and progressive prescription lenses. Many optical labs can fit prescription lenses into this frame while maintaining the Prizm lens technology benefits, though you may need to use custom prescription lenses rather than the original Oakley Prizm lenses depending on your Rx.
What is BiO-Matter and how does it compare to regular O-Matter?
BiO-Matter is Oakley's eco-friendly frame material made from at least 56% bio-based carbon content derived from castor oil, versus traditional petroleum-based plastics. It offers the same lightweight durability and flexibility as classic O-Matter, but with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. The material is just as impact-resistant and comfortable for all-day wear.
What's the difference between Oakley Sielo 9288 and Sielo SQ 9480?
The main difference is the lens shape: the Sielo 9288 features a round lens design, while the Sielo SQ 9480 has a square/rectangle lens shape. Both share the same BiO-Matter and C-5 metal construction, Unobtainium nosepads, and Prizm lens technology. The SQ version offers a sportier, more contemporary look with slightly more coverage.
Do the Sielo SQ sunglasses come with polarized lenses?
Polarization depends on the specific color variant you choose. Several Sielo SQ 9480 options include Prizm polarized lenses (such as Prizm Black Polarized, Prizm Deep Water Polarized, Prizm Rose Gold Polarized, and Prizm Grey Polarized), while others feature non-polarized gradient lenses. Polarized versions add a special filter that blocks glare from reflective surfaces.
What size are the Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 sunglasses?
The Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 has a lens width of 57mm, bridge width of 18mm, and temple length of 141mm, with a lens height of approximately 48mm. This is considered a medium to large fit designed specifically for women's faces, offering generous coverage without being oversized.
How do Unobtainium nosepads work on the Sielo SQ?
Unobtainium is Oakley's proprietary material that actually increases grip when it gets wet or when you perspire. On the Sielo SQ, the Unobtainium nosepads prevent the sunglasses from sliding down your nose during workouts, hot weather, or active use. This no-slip grip ensures the frame stays securely in place without needing constant adjustment.

Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 vs. Sielo 9288: Square or Round?
Choosing between the Oakley Sielo SQ 9480 and the Sielo 9288 comes down to one key question: do you prefer a modern square lens or a softer round lens? Both frames share identical construction—BiO-Matter front, C-5 metal temples, Unobtainium nosepads, and Prizm lens technology—so performance and comfort are equal. The Sielo SQ 9480 offers a sportier, contemporary square shape with slightly more coverage, making it ideal if you want a bold, athletic look that works from the gym to the street. The round-lens Sielo 9288 delivers a more retro-inspired, feminine aesthetic that's perfect for a vintage vibe or softer style.
Both models are priced identically ($204-$267) and come in a wide range of Prizm lens options including polarized variants. If your face shape is angular or square, the round Sielo 9288 can add balance; if you have a round or oval face, the square Sielo SQ 9480 adds definition. Either way, you're getting Oakley's eco-friendly BiO-Matter construction and performance-grade features in a frame designed specifically for women.
Sielo SQ 9480 vs. Oakley Unstoppable 9191
The Oakley Unstoppable 9191 is another women's lifestyle option worth considering, with a lower starting price ($166 vs. $204). While we recommend the Sielo SQ 9480 if you want the latest BiO-Matter eco-friendly construction and the square lens aesthetic, the Unstoppable offers a different frame shape and style at a more accessible price point. The Sielo SQ is the better choice for those prioritizing sustainability, modern square coverage, and the newest Oakley frame technology.
