Genuine Oakley sunglasses cost between R1,697 and R3,660 in our range at the time of writing. The everyday frames start at R1,697 and the cycling shields at R1,790, and the dearest pair in stock is a polarised Bisphaera.
These are the prices on the Oakleys we had in stock in September 2026. Prices change, and our Oakley collection always shows the current figure.
Oakley prices by model
The table gives the lowest price we had for each model, everyday frames first, then the sport frames and shields.

| HSTN | OO9242 | Everyday | R1,938 |
| HSTN SQ | OO9533 | Everyday | R2,500 |
| Exchange Sun | OO9483 | Everyday | R2,699 |
| Sylas | OO9448 | Everyday | R2,799 |
| Sutro Lite Sweep | OO9465 | Shield | R1,790 |
| Sutro | OO9406 | Shield | R1,998 |
| Lateralis | OO9431 | Sport | R2,349 |
| Sutro Lite | OO9463 | Shield | R2,399 |
| BXTR | OO9280 | Shield | R2,399 |
| Bisphaera | OO9400 | Sport | R2,699 |
| Corridor | OO9248 | Sport | R2,999 |

Polarised versions start at R2,100 for the Leffingwell, R2,858 for the HSTN SQ and R3,299 for the HSTN, and a polarised Bisphaera runs from R2,740 to R3,660.
What moves an Oakley’s price
Polarisation is the clearest step up. The Leffingwell starts at R1,697 with a Prizm Grey lens, and the cheapest polarised Leffingwell is R2,100 in matte black ink. How much it adds depends on the model: about R40 on the Bisphaera, R358 on the HSTN SQ, and R1,361 on the HSTN, which goes from R1,938 to R3,299 for the polarised version.
Colourway moves it too. The same polarised Leffingwell costs R2,100 in matte black ink and R2,999 in matte brown tortoise, a gap of R899 for the frame colour alone.
Prizm is on most of our Oakley range, so it is not what separates a R1,800 Oakley from a R3,600 one. Prizm is Oakley’s family of contrast lenses, each tuned for a setting; Prizm Road, for example, is tuned for tar. Our explainer on G-15, Prizm and the other lens names covers what the technology does and does not do.
Frame type matters less than you might expect. The shields are not automatically dearer: the Sutro Lite Sweep costs R1,790, less than most of the everyday frames. The top of our range is held by the Stunt Devil S at R3,600 and the polarised Bisphaera.
What the price does not change is ultraviolet protection. A R1,697 Leffingwell and a R3,600 Stunt Devil S filter UV equally; the money goes on lens tint, polarisation, frame design and finish.
Everyday frame or shield
The everyday frames, such as the Leffingwell, HSTN and Sylas, look like ordinary sunglasses and suit driving, weekends and the office car park. The shields, such as the Sutro family and the BXTR, use one large lens that wraps across the face, which gives a wide field of view and fewer gaps for wind and dust.
If you ride or run, a shield earns its place. Highveld afternoons throw a lot of light off the road surface, and a single wide lens keeps it out of the corners of your eyes. Check the fit on your nose and behind your ears, because a shield that bounces on a bunch ride is worse than none.
Sizes and fit
The everyday frames are sized like most sunglasses, with the lens width in the name: the HSTN we stock is a 52, the HSTN SQ a 54 and the Leffingwell a 57. Compare that figure with a pair you already wear, within 2 mm or so.
On the shields, the size number in the name, such as 39 on the Sutro Lite, refers to the single wide lens. It cannot be compared with the lens width of an ordinary frame, so compare the overall fit instead, or send us the measurements of a pair that fits and we will check them for you.
What the price includes
Every Oakley we sell costs more than R500, so standard delivery is free anywhere in South Africa. Unworn frames in their original packaging can come back within 30 days if the fit is wrong.
When an Oakley price is too low
The cheapest Oakley in our stock is R1,697. A brand-new pair offered for a few hundred rand is very unlikely to be genuine stock, whatever the photos look like.
Genuine listings name the model code, such as OO9406 or OO9463, the colour code and the lens. If a seller cannot tell you those, walk away. Our guide on how to spot fake designer sunglasses lists the other signs.
How we’d choose
- Tight budget: the Leffingwell with Prizm Grey at R1,697, or the Sutro Lite Sweep at R1,790 if you want a shield.
- Driving and everyday wear: a polarised Leffingwell from R2,100, our lowest-priced polarised Oakley.
- Road cycling: the Sutro Lite with a Prizm Road Jade lens at R2,399.
- Smaller faces: the Stunt Devil at R3,400, which its listing describes as built for smaller faces.
Frequently asked questions
How much do Oakley sunglasses cost in South Africa?
At the time of writing, our in-stock Oakleys run from R1,697 for the Leffingwell to R3,660 for a polarised Bisphaera. Everyday frames start under R2,000, and a polarised lens adds anything from about R40 to R1,400 on the same model.
Do all Oakleys come with Prizm lenses?
No. Most of our current Oakley range has Prizm lenses, but some sport frames come with plain grey lenses, including the Lateralis we stock. The listing always names the lens, so check it before you order.
Which Oakley should I buy for cycling?
For road riding, a shield with a Prizm Road lens covers most conditions, and the Sutro Lite at R2,399 is where we would start. Fit matters more than the model name, so compare the frame measurements with a pair that already stays put on your face.
