The Oakley HSTN 9242 sunglasses bring together heritage design and modern performance in a round frame that stands out without trying too hard. First introduced in 2021 after Oakley’s design team collaborated with cultural influencers, the HSTN pays homage to two of the brand’s most iconic models: the trigger stem draws inspiration from the legendary Razor Blade, while the center frame design nods to the ’90s classic SubZero. The result is a sunglass that feels both familiar and fresh.
Every HSTN 9242 comes equipped with Oakley’s Prizm lens technology, a contrast-enhancement system developed over 15 years of research into how the human eye perceives color. Unlike traditional tints that simply darken your view, Prizm lenses selectively filter specific wavelengths of light to boost useful colors while minimizing distracting ones. The technology uses decades of color science to fine-tune what you see—enhancing reds, greens, and blues in everyday environments so details pop with more clarity and less eye strain. Available in multiple Prizm tints including Black, Ruby, Tungsten, and Sapphire, plus polarized options that cut glare from water, snow, and roads, these lenses deliver 100% UV protection up to 400nm through Oakley’s impact-resistant Plutonite polycarbonate.
The frame is constructed from O-Matter, Oakley’s proprietary stress-resistant material that’s lighter and more flexible than acetate. At 52mm lens width with a 21mm bridge and 142mm temples, the HSTN fits average to medium faces comfortably. Unobtainium nosepads provide a no-slip grip even when wet, keeping the frames optically aligned during activity. The HSTN 9242 is fully prescription-ready, accepting Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses that come laser-etched with the ellipse logo for proof of authenticity. Whether you need single vision, progressive, or just want to swap in your preferred lens tint, this frame adapts to your vision needs without compromising its clean, round silhouette.
