Oakley Sutro Matte Carbon / Clear to Black Iridium Photochromic (OO9406-98)

Oakley Sutro (OO9406-98) | Performance, Bold Style, and Extended Shield Coverage

Designed with ultimate performance in mind, Oakley Sutro (OO9406) sunglasses redefine the look of traditional sports-performance eyewear. Inspired by the daily lives of urban cyclists, the high-wrap shield creates a bold, versatile look, protecting your eyes from wind, dust, and weather while dramatically improving peripheral vision. The Matte Carbon finish with the Prizm Road Black lens delivers a sober and elegant industrial design, optimized with a high-end dark solar filter to prevent extreme visual fatigue. The chassis is built with Oakley's ultra-lightweight O-Matter™ frame material, ensuring durability and non-stop, all-day comfort, making them the perfect choice whether you are riding in the peloton or exploring the city streets.

O-Matter™ Frame Structure and Athletic Fit

Oakley Sutro has been sculpted to withstand the most demanding athletic use under all conditions:

• O-Matter™ Chassis: Proprietary injected polymer that is 25% lighter and twice as strong as standard acetate, absorbing heavy impacts with ease.
• Unobtainium® Nosepads: The nosepiece is equipped with Oakley's patented Unobtainium® elastomer. Its grip increases with moisture or sweat, ensuring the frame stays securely in place during high-energy movements.
• Hat and Helmet Compatible Temples: Thin ergonomic temples designed to sit comfortably underneath cycling helmets and caps without pinch points.

Prizm™ Lens Technology

Equipped with Prizm™ lenses, this shield intelligently filters colors to maximize contrast and road safety:

• Tuned Spectrum (Clear to Black Iridium Photochromic): Selectively enhances details and visibility, making road cracks, trail relief, and obstacles pop instantly.
• Impact Protection: The single-shield continuous lens is manufactured under extreme high-mass and high-velocity conditions to guard your eyes.
• 100% UV Protection: Plutonite® lens material blocks 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light up to 400nm.

What is included in the package?

Original Oakley Sutro sunglasses. This model includes the official Oakley semi-rigid zippered sport case (Sport Soft Vault Case) and the original Oakley microfiber pouch for cleaning and storage. In addition, Centro Optico Alpedrete gifts you a premium washable digitally-printed cleaning cloth to keep your shield lens in perfect condition.

Shield Lens Maintenance and Care

To clean your Sutro shield lens, gently blow off loose dust or debris. Use the provided official microfiber pouch or our gifted digital cleaning cloth to wipe gently. For mud, sunscreen, or persistent sweat, clean by rinsing under lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry gently. Never use glass cleaner, household solvents, or paper towels, which can damage specialized Prizm™ mirrored coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions about Oakley Sutro

Can Oakley Sutro (OO9406) be prescription-adapted?

Not directly on the frame. Because the Sutro is a single continuous shield lens, it cannot accommodate standard visual prescription lenses directly. If you need sports prescription eyewear, we recommend looking at models with dual independent lenses (such as Oakley Flak 2.0 or Oakley Plazma) or visiting us for personalized custom advice.

What is Prizm™ technology and how does it help in sports?

Prizm™ is a revolutionary lens technology developed by Oakley that fine-tunes color wavelengths for specific environments. By boosting contrast and filtering noise, it makes road lines, gravel relief, and trail obstacles pop, providing a safer and much faster visual reaction time.

Why don't they slip or slide down during intense sweating?

The secret is the Unobtainium® nose pads. This hydrophobic elastomer patented by Oakley actually increases its grip and adhesion to the skin when it comes into contact with sweat or moisture, keeping the frame perfectly stable during intense running or cycling vibrations.

Is the official zippered case included?

Yes! Each original Oakley Sutro sunglass comes with the official Oakley semi-rigid zippered sport case (Sport Soft Vault Case) and its microfiber pouch. We also gift you our high-end digital cleaning cloth from Centro Optico Alpedrete.

What size of Sutro is this and who does it fit?

The OO9406 reference corresponds to the standard Sutro size (a medium-to-large coverage fit), designed to sit comfortably on most adult faces. If you have an especially narrow or small face, we highly recommend choosing the Sutro S (OO9462) version instead.
