The Oakley Hip Tone 8182 eyeglasses solve a problem that's plagued larger-headed wearers for years: finding prescription frames that actually fit. As Oakley's largest eyeglass frame, the Hip Tone features a generous 60mm lens width—the first time Oakley has offered this size in prescription eyewear. The full-rim square silhouette delivers clean lines and bold angles that add definition to your face without the pinching, pressure points, or temple indentations that come with frames that are too small.
Built for Comfort with Oakley's Performance Materials
The Hip Tone is constructed from O Matter, Oakley's proprietary nylon-based frame material that's 25% lighter than standard acetate and twice as strong. This isn't marketing speak—O Matter was engineered to meet the demands of professional athletes, withstanding impact forces, UV radiation, and temperature extremes that would make ordinary plastic frames brittle. The result is a frame that's light enough to wear all day but tough enough to handle real-world use.
Adjustable wire core temples let you dial in the fit, while Unobtainium earsocks—the same material Oakley originally developed for motorcycle grips—increase grip when you sweat. The adjustable silicone nose pads are a game-changer if you've dealt with frames that slide down or sit at the wrong height. You can fine-tune the position to keep your lenses aligned with your pupils, which matters when you're paying for prescription lenses.
Prescription-Ready with Wide Compatibility
The Hip Tone's 4-base frame design (a flatter curve than Oakley's sport sunglasses) makes it compatible with a wide range of prescriptions, including single vision, progressives, and bifocals. The 58mm and 60mm lens widths, 16mm bridge, and 155mm temples give you options depending on your exact measurements. Available in five finishes—Polished Clear, Satin Grey Smoke, Satin Light Steel, Satin Black, and Matte Carbon—the Hip Tone works equally well in the office or off-duty.
If you've been making do with frames that are too narrow, the Hip Tone 8182 is worth a look. It's designed for the fit that standard frames can't deliver.

Glasses were warped or resized from original, one of the nose pieces appeared to be melted. Assuming it happened when the frames were warped. Glasses are narrower now then when new compared to a second pair I already own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Oakley Hip Tone 8182 eyeglasses suitable for large heads?
Yes, the Hip Tone 8182 is specifically designed for individuals with larger head sizes. It's Oakley's largest prescription eyeglass frame, available in 58mm and 60mm lens widths with a 155mm temple length. The 60mm option is Oakley's first eyeglass frame in this size, making it ideal for those who find standard frames too tight or narrow.
What is O Matter and why does it matter for eyeglasses?
O Matter is Oakley's proprietary nylon-based frame material that's 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong. It's more heat and cold resistant, preventing the frame from becoming brittle over time. The material is flexible enough to absorb impact while maintaining its shape, making it ideal for all-day wear and active lifestyles.
Can I get prescription lenses in the Oakley Hip Tone 8182?
Absolutely. The Hip Tone 8182 is prescription-ready and compatible with a wide range of prescriptions including single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The 4-base frame design (flatter curve) makes it suitable for stronger prescriptions that wouldn't work in highly wrapped sport frames. You can order with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses that are laser-etched with the ellipse logo.
What are the benefits of adjustable nose pads on eyeglasses?
Adjustable nose pads allow you to customize the fit of your glasses for better comfort, stability, and optical alignment. They help prevent slipping, distribute frame weight evenly across your nose (especially important for heavier prescription lenses), and can be adjusted for height and angle to ensure your lenses sit at the correct position for your eyes.
What is Unobtainium and how does it work?
Unobtainium is Oakley's proprietary grip material, originally developed for motorcycle grips. It's designed to increase grip when wet or when you perspire, preventing your glasses from slipping during activity. On the Hip Tone 8182, Unobtainium is used on the earsocks (temple tips) to keep the frame stable and secure on your head.
How do the Oakley Hip Tone 8182 dimensions compare to other Oakley frames?
The Hip Tone 8182 is Oakley's largest prescription eyeglass frame. It's available in 58-16-155 and 60-16-155 sizes (lens width-bridge-temple length in mm). For comparison, the Oakley Holbrook RX measures 56mm or 54mm lens width. The Hip Tone's 60mm option is specifically designed for those who need extra width and coverage.

Oakley Hip Tone 8182 vs Holbrook RX 8156: Which Frame Fits You?
Both the Hip Tone 8182 and Holbrook RX 8156 are full-rim square prescription frames made from Oakley's O Matter material, but they're designed for different face sizes and style preferences.
Size is the deciding factor. The Hip Tone is Oakley's largest prescription frame, available in 58mm and 60mm lens widths—the 60mm option is the first of its size in Oakley's eyeglass lineup. The Holbrook RX comes in 54mm and 56mm, making it better suited for average to medium-large faces. If you've struggled with frames feeling too tight on your temples or leaving pressure marks, the Hip Tone's extra width and adjustable wire core temples solve that problem.
Adjustability matters for fit. The Hip Tone features adjustable silicone nose pads and wire core temples that let you customize the fit. Most Holbrook RX versions have a fixed bridge design, offering less flexibility for fine-tuning. For those with high prescriptions or asymmetrical features, the Hip Tone's adjustability ensures better optical alignment.
Price and style. The Holbrook RX starts at $92.13, making it more budget-friendly than the Hip Tone's $227 price point. The Holbrook's design is inspired by 1940s-50s screen legends and has become an iconic look. The Hip Tone offers a more modern, bold square silhouette with clean lines and sharp angles.
Our take: Choose the Hip Tone 8182 if you need a larger fit, want maximum adjustability, or prefer a contemporary square aesthetic. Go with the Holbrook RX if you have an average-sized face, love the classic Oakley icon, and want to save some money. Both deliver Oakley's signature O Matter durability and prescription compatibility.
Hip Tone 8182 vs Plank 2.0 8081: Bold vs Understated
The Plank 2.0 8081 offers a sleeker, more minimalist alternative to the Hip Tone's bold square design. Both use O Matter frames, but the Plank 2.0 has a lower-profile rectangular shape that's less visually prominent. It's a solid choice if you want Oakley quality without the statement look, but it won't accommodate larger head sizes the way the Hip Tone does. At $95.33-$187, the Plank 2.0 is also more affordable, making it a good entry point into Oakley prescription eyewear for those with standard fit needs.
