Hurley HMO104 vs Other Hurley Frames
If you're considering the Hurley HMO104, you might also be looking at other frames in the Hurley collection. Here's how the HMO104 'High Tide' stacks up against similar models.
HMO104 vs HMO109
Both frames sit at the same $90.77 price point and feature spring hinges with full-rim construction. The key difference is shape: the HMO104 has a more pronounced square silhouette (55-19-150), while the HMO109 leans rectangular (55-18-145). If you have a rounder face and want more angular contrast, the HMO104's square shape is the better choice. If you prefer a slightly narrower bridge and more traditional rectangular look, consider the HMO109.
HMO104 vs HMO114
The HMO114 is priced slightly higher at $103.08 and features smaller dimensions (52-20-145), making it better suited for narrower faces or those who prefer a more compact frame. Both are full-rim and prescription-ready, but the HMO104's larger 55mm lens width provides more coverage and a bolder look. Choose the HMO114 if you have a smaller face or want a less prominent frame; stick with the HMO104 if you want that medium-to-large square aesthetic.
HMO104 vs HMO119
The HMO119 offers more color variety and a similar price range ($90.77-$104.82), with the same spring hinge technology and Hurley design DNA. The HMO104 is the better pick if you specifically want the 'High Tide' square shape and the three classic colorways (black, navy, tortoise). The HMO119 may offer different style details or measurements depending on your fit preferences—check the specific dimensions to compare.
Why Choose the HMO104?
The HMO104 hits a sweet spot: it's affordably priced, built with spring hinges for comfort and durability, and offers a clean square shape that's versatile enough for work or weekend. The 55mm lens width is a true medium fit, and the full-rim construction means it'll handle any prescription you throw at it. If you want surf-inspired style without sacrificing practicality, the HMO104 is a solid choice.
