The Oakley Hex Jector 8174F prescription eyeglasses deliver sport-performance engineering in a versatile rectangular frame. Built for athletes and active lifestyles, these frames combine Oakley's proprietary O-Matter material with advanced fit technologies that keep your eyewear secure and comfortable.
Lightweight O-Matter Frame Construction
The Hex Jector features Oakley's injection-molded O-Matter frame material—a nylon-based composite that's significantly lighter and more durable than traditional acetate. This proprietary material flexes under stress and returns to its original shape, providing impact resistance that stands up to demanding conditions. O-Matter is also more heat and cold-resistant than acetate, preventing the frame from becoming brittle over time. The full-rim rectangular design offers a modern, athletic aesthetic that works equally well at the gym or the office.
No-Slip Fit Technology
What sets the Hex Jector apart is its Unobtainium nosepads—Oakley's patented material that actually increases grip with perspiration. Combined with the Three-Point Fit system (which only contacts your head at the bridge and temples), these frames stay in precise optical alignment without pressure points. The ACE-Fit temples allow eye care professionals to adjust the fit based on your personal preference, ensuring all-day comfort. Available in two sizes (54mm and 56mm lens width), the Hex Jector accommodates a range of face shapes.
Prescription-Ready Performance
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The rectangular shape provides ample vertical depth for multifocal prescriptions, while the durable construction ensures your investment lasts. The Hex Jector 8174F comes in multiple finishes including Satin Black, Satin Grey Smoke, Black Ink, and Satin Black Camo—each featuring Oakley's signature ellipse logo on the temples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Oakley Hex Jector 8174F frames prescription-ready?
Yes, the Hex Jector 8174F frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The rectangular frame shape provides sufficient vertical depth for multifocal prescriptions, and the frames can be fitted with high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions. These frames are designed to work with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses or can be fitted by your local optician.
What is O-Matter and how does it compare to acetate frames?
O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary nylon-based frame material that's 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong. It offers superior flexibility and impact resistance, flexing under stress and returning to its original shape. O-Matter is also more heat and cold-resistant than acetate, preventing brittleness over time—making it ideal for active lifestyles and sports use.
What are Unobtainium nosepads and why do they matter?
Unobtainium is Oakley's patented grip material used on the Hex Jector's TruBridge nosepads. Unlike standard nose pads, Unobtainium actually increases grip with perspiration, preventing the frames from sliding down your nose during physical activity. This no-slip technology ensures the frames stay in place and maintain proper optical alignment throughout the day.
What sizes are available for the Oakley Hex Jector 8174F?
The Hex Jector 8174F is available in two sizes: 54mm and 56mm lens width. Both sizes feature a 16mm bridge width and 143mm temple length. The 54mm size works well for small to medium faces, while the 56mm accommodates medium to larger face shapes. The ACE-Fit adjustable temples allow for further customization by your eye care professional.
Can the Oakley Hex Jector frames be adjusted for a better fit?
Yes, the Hex Jector features ACE-Fit temples that allow eye care professionals to adjust the temples based on your personal preference for enhanced comfort and retention. The O-Matter material also has some heat-adjustable flexibility, though professional adjustment is recommended. The TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads provide a customized, no-slip fit that adapts to your face.
Are Oakley Hex Jector frames durable enough for sports and active use?
Absolutely. The Hex Jector is specifically designed for sport performance with O-Matter construction that offers superior impact resistance and flexibility. The material is engineered to withstand UV radiation, thermal shock, and extended exposure to heat and cold. Combined with the no-slip Unobtainium nosepads and Three-Point Fit system, these frames are built to stay secure during athletic activities while maintaining long-term durability.

Oakley Hex Jector 8174F vs. Plank 2.0 vs. Airdrop: Which Frame Is Right for You?
If you're shopping for Oakley prescription eyeglasses, the Hex Jector 8174F, Plank 2.0 8081, and Airdrop 8046 are three of the brand's most popular rectangular O-Matter frames. All three offer lightweight durability and sport-performance engineering, but they differ in fit technology and price.
Hex Jector 8174F: Premium Sport Performance
The Hex Jector represents Oakley's latest advancement in prescription eyewear technology. It's the only frame in this comparison featuring TruBridge Sport Unobtainium nosepads—which increase grip with perspiration—and ACE-Fit adjustable temples that allow your optician to customize the fit. The Three-Point Fit system ensures precise optical alignment without pressure points. If you lead an active lifestyle or need frames that absolutely won't slip during workouts, the Hex Jector's advanced fit technology justifies the higher price point. Available in 54mm and 56mm sizes.
Plank 2.0 8081: Budget-Friendly Alternative
The Plank 2.0 offers similar O-Matter construction at a lower starting price ($95.33 vs. $176). It features wire-core temples for stability and comes in smaller sizes (51-53mm), making it a good choice for narrower faces. However, it lacks the Hex Jector's Unobtainium nosepads and ACE-Fit technology. Choose the Plank 2.0 if you want Oakley quality and durability but don't need the advanced no-slip features for athletic use.
Airdrop 8046: The Middle Ground
The Airdrop sits between the Hex Jector and Plank 2.0 in both price and features. It's a proven, popular frame with O-Matter construction and reliable comfort, but it doesn't include the Hex Jector's TruBridge nosepads or adjustable temples. The Airdrop is a solid choice for everyday prescription wear when you want Oakley durability without the sport-specific fit technology.
Our recommendation: If you're active, play sports, or work in environments where you sweat, the Hex Jector 8174F's no-slip Unobtainium nosepads and adjustable fit are worth the investment. For casual everyday wear on a budget, the Plank 2.0 delivers excellent value. The Airdrop offers a middle path for those who want proven Oakley quality without the premium features.
