Oakley Replacement Arms

Original Oakley Replacement Arms

Oakley replacement arms — the temple stems that attach to your frame front at the hinge — are usually all it takes to bring a broken pair back. A snapped stem doesn’t retire your Oakleys: in most of the repairs we see, the frame front and lenses are intact — it’s one temple arm that cracked at the hinge, lost its rubber grip or gave way after years of sport use. This category carries original Oakley replacement arms: genuine factory temple arms for Oakley sunglasses and prescription frames, sold as a pair with the fixing screws included, so both sides match perfectly and the repair is complete out of the envelope.

Whether you call them temples, arms, stems, side pieces or the “legs” of your glasses, if Oakley built a frame with them, this is where you find the spare — sourced through the authorised EssilorLuxottica supply chain and handled by the same optical workshop that has completed over 600,000 repairs.

Why Oakley Arms Are Model-Specific

Oakley engineers each frame as a system, and the arms are never interchangeable between models. An O Matter stem from a Holbrook has a completely different hinge geometry, thickness and ear curve than a Frogskins arm or the wire stem of a metal frame. Sport models add another layer: the rubberised Unobtainium sections are moulded into the arm itself, engineered to grip more as you sweat.

Genuine Oakley temple arms replicate all of it — the exact hinge fit, the O logo, the material, the finish and the Unobtainium placement of your original frame. That’s the difference between a repair that disappears and one you notice every time you put the glasses on.

Popular Oakley Models We Stock Arms For

• Oakley Holbrook (OO9102) — the best-selling lifestyle frame; O Matter stems with metal rivets
• Oakley Frogskins (OO9013) — the retro classic, glossy and matte finishes
• Oakley Gascan & Fuel Cell — wide O Matter frames with bold stems
• Oakley Sliver & Mainlink — everyday frames with Unobtainium-lined arms
• Oakley Latch — the skate-culture frame with its distinctive keyhole stem
• Oakley prescription (OX) frames — including the Crosslink family with its swappable temple system

If your model isn’t listed above, use the Oakley Model filter on this page — the catalogue covers far more references, for both sunglasses and eyeglasses. The Use filter (Sun / Vision) narrows it further.

How to Identify Your Oakley Model

Look at the inside of your temple arm. Oakley prints the model code there: OO followed by four digits for sunglasses (e.g. OO9102 — Holbrook) or OX for prescription frames, plus the colour variant and the size. Match the model code to the listing and your new arms will fit exactly. If the printing has worn away — common on rubberised stems — send us a photo through our Help Center and our opticians will identify the frame for free.

One Oakley-specific tip: sunglass (OO) and prescription (OX) versions are different frames with different hinges, even when they look similar. Always match the exact code printed on your arm, not just the model name.

Materials: O Matter, Acetate, Metal and Unobtainium

• O Matter — Oakley’s signature injected nylon: lightweight, flexible and nearly unbreakable in normal use. Found on Holbrook, Gascan, Fuel Cell and most sport frames.
• Acetate — used on premium lifestyle models, with deeper gloss and classic feel.
• Metal — wire and alloy stems on aviator-style and titanium models.
• Unobtainium — the grippy rubber compound on ear stems and sport arms. When it wears smooth or tears, replacing the arm restores the original no-slip fit.

Arms, or Just the Rubber Parts?

Before ordering, check what actually failed. If the arm itself is cracked, bent or the hinge is broken, you need replacement arms — this category. But if the stem is fine and only the rubber earsocks or nose pads have worn out, you may just need the rubber kit: have a look at our Oakley spare parts before spending more than necessary. Scratched lenses too? We stock original Oakley replacement lenses to complete the full restoration in one order.

Everything Included, Fitted in Minutes

Every pair ships with the screws included. On most models the swap takes a few minutes with a precision screwdriver — remove the hinge screw, slide off the broken stem, seat the new arm and tighten. Our 3-in-1 mini screwdriver covers the common Oakley screw heads. Some prescription models like the Crosslink use tool-free interchangeable temples — the listing tells you which system your frame uses.

Free Shipping and 14-Day Returns

We ship worldwide every working day, with free shipping to the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, tracking included and estimated delivery between 1 and 10 days. If the arms don’t match your frame, you have 14 days to return them — or send us your frame code before ordering and we’ll confirm the fit first. Need Ray-Ban parts instead?

Frequently Asked Questions About Oakley Replacement Arms

How do I know which arms fit my Oakleys?

Check the code inside your temple arm: OO + four digits for sunglasses (e.g. OO9102 for Holbrook) or OX for prescription frames, plus the colour and size. Match that code to the listing. If it’s worn off, send us a photo and we’ll identify the model for free.

Are these original Oakley parts?

Yes — genuine Oakley temple arms sourced through the authorised EssilorLuxottica supply chain, with the O logo, factory materials and exact hinge geometry of your model.

Are they sold in pairs and do they include screws?

Always as a matched pair — left and right — with the fixing screws included, so the repair is complete with just a precision screwdriver.

Do sunglass arms fit the prescription version of the same model?

No — OO (sun) and OX (prescription) frames are engineered separately, with different hinges even when they look alike. Always match the exact code printed inside your arm.

Only the rubber on my arms is worn — do I need full replacement arms?

Probably not. If the stem and hinge are fine and only the Unobtainium earsocks are torn or smooth, the rubber kits in our Oakley spare parts section are the cheaper fix. Full arms are for cracked stems, broken hinges or bent temples.

Why does my new arm grip more than the old one?

That’s the fresh Unobtainium doing its job — Oakley’s rubber compound grips more as it contacts skin and sweat. Your old arm had simply worn smooth over the years; the new one restores the original no-slip fit.

Can I return the arms if they don’t fit?

Yes, within 14 days. To skip returns entirely, send us the code inside your temple before ordering and our opticians will confirm compatibility first, free of charge.
