Product Information

Full details

The Oakley Tour De France Sunglasses in Matte Black are designed for adult males seeking high-performance lifestyle eyewear inspired by cycling endurance. Their key benefit lies in a comfortable, secure fit with advanced lens technology for all-day wear, a slight caveat being the specialized nature of the Prizm Jade lenses which may require adaptation. This collection evolves the original HSTN model with modernized circular lenses, a unique trigger stem, and incorporates sustainable, plant-based BiO-Matter® frame material for a lighter, more comfortable feel, complemented by Unobtainium® nosepads for enhanced grip.

FAQs

What is BiO-Matter® material?

BiO-Matter® is a plant-based frame material used by Oakley, containing at least 56% bio-based carbon content. It is designed to be lighter and more comfortable than traditional acetate while maintaining durability.

What are Prizm Jade lenses best suited for?

Prizm Jade lenses are designed to enhance color and contrast in bright light conditions. They are particularly effective for everyday wear, driving, and outdoor activities where seeing finer details and distinguishing colors is important.

Are these sunglasses suitable for intense sports like road cycling?

While inspired by the Tour de France and featuring a secure fit, these are primarily lifestyle sunglasses with advanced lens technology. For highly competitive or extreme sports, Oakley may offer more specialized performance eyewear with different lens options and frame designs.

How do I clean the sunglasses without damaging them?

Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. For the frame, mild soap and water can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.

What is the main difference between HSTN and the Tour De France edition?

The Tour De France edition shares the progressive design of the original HSTN but is distinguished by its specific colorway (Matte Black frame, Prizm Jade lens) and thematic inspiration, celebrating endurance and cycling.

Can I replace the lenses if they get scratched?

Yes, replacement lenses are often available for Oakley sunglasses. You can check with an authorized Oakley dealer or Oakley's official website for lens replacement options and services.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

Ensure the Unobtainium® nosepads are clean and dry. If they are consistently slipping, consult an authorized Oakley dealer for potential adjustment or replacement nosepad options.

Lenses appear distorted or unclear.

Clean the lenses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth. If the issue persists, ensure you are looking through the optical center of the lens. If there is visible damage, contact customer support.

Frame feels tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

The BiO-Matter® frame is designed to be lightweight. If discomfort persists, try adjusting the position of the sunglasses on your nose or consider if the frame shape is ideal for your face structure. Professional adjustment at an eyewear store might help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and lightweight frame made from sustainable BiO-Matter® material.
  • Secure and comfortable fit due to Unobtainium® nosepads.
  • Enhanced visual clarity and color perception with Prizm Jade lenses.
  • Progressive and heritage-inspired design that stands out.
  • Inspired by the demanding spirit of the Tour de France.

Cons

  • Prizm Jade lenses are specialized and may require an adjustment period for some users.
  • Higher price point typical of performance-oriented, branded eyewear.
  • The modernized circular lens shape might not suit all face shapes.
  • May be perceived as more fashion-focused than purely sport-specific eyewear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sunglasses require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed as lifestyle eyewear, they are compatible with most adult male headwear and helmets, though fit may vary. The Prizm Jade lenses are optimized for bright light conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth provided with the sunglasses) to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials, paper towels, or rough fabrics that can scratch the lens coating.
  2. Cleaning Frame: The BiO-Matter® frame can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  3. Storage: Store the sunglasses in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use solvents, detergents, or alcohol, as these can damage the frame and lens materials or coatings.
