Harley-Davidson Men's Fashion Shield Sunglasses HM00013 | Black Smoke Gradient

The Harley-Davidson Men's Fashion Shield Sunglasses in model HM00013 01B are a 6-base fashion shield with a shiny black injected plastic frame, smoke gradient with flash lens, and 100% UVA and UVB protection. The shield format gives maximum coverage across the eye and temple area, the 6-base curve wraps the lens around the face for peripheral coverage, and the smoke gradient flash lens combines a graduated tint with a mirror coating for strong glare management in bright conditions. Frame size: 62-16-140.

6-base fashion shield - the frame format explained: A shield sunglass uses a single continuous lens that spans both eyes rather than two separate lenses joined at a bridge - a format that gives maximum coverage, eliminates the central bridge as a potential weak point, and creates a bold, uninterrupted visual line across the face. The 6-base curve refers to the curvature of the lens - a 6-base lens has a moderate wrap that follows the natural curve of the face, providing peripheral coverage without the extreme wrap of an 8-base sport lens. The fashion shield format takes the coverage and wrap of a sport shield and applies it to a lifestyle aesthetic - it's the format that works on the bike and looks right at the destination.

Smoke gradient with flash lens - the lens specification: The smoke gradient flash lens combines three properties in a single lens. The smoke tint reduces overall light transmission, making the lens effective in bright sunlight. The gradient transitions from a darker tint at the top of the lens - where direct sunlight and sky glare are strongest - to a lighter tint at the bottom, maintaining better clarity for looking at the road or instruments. The flash coating is a thin mirror layer applied to the outer surface of the lens that reflects additional light away before it enters the lens, adding a further layer of glare reduction and giving the lens a reflective, dynamic appearance that changes with the angle of the light. Together, these three properties make the HM00013 lens one of the more capable options in the H-D lifestyle eyewear range for bright outdoor conditions.

100% UVA and UVB protection: The lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection - blocking 100% of ultraviolet radiation across both the UVA (315-400nm) and UVB (280-315nm) spectrums. UV protection is the most important functional specification for any sunglasses worn outdoors - prolonged UV exposure without protection is a leading cause of cataracts and macular degeneration. 100% UV protection is the standard that all quality sunglasses should meet, and the HM00013 confirms this specification explicitly.

Key Features:

• 6-base fashion shield - single continuous lens with moderate wrap for peripheral coverage
• Shiny black injected plastic frame - durable, lightweight, and clean finish
• Smoke gradient with flash lens - graduated tint plus mirror coating
• 100% UVA and UVB protection
• Harley-Davidson block logo design on frame
• Frame size: 62-16-140 (62mm lens width, 16mm bridge, 140mm temple length)
• Model: HM00013 01B

Frame size 62-16-140 - what the numbers mean: Sunglass sizing is expressed as three measurements in millimetres. The first number (62) is the lens width - the horizontal measurement of each lens at its widest point. At 62mm, the HM00013 is a large lens width suited to medium to large face sizes. The second number (16) is the bridge width - the distance between the two lenses across the nose. The third number (140) is the temple length - the arm that extends from the frame to behind the ear. At 140mm, the temples are a standard length that suits most head sizes. Together, these measurements confirm the HM00013 as a large-fit shield suited to medium to large faces.

Injected plastic frame - the construction choice: Injected plastic frames are produced by injecting molten plastic into a mould under pressure, creating a frame that's more precise in its dimensions and more consistent in its finish than cut-and-polished acetate alternatives. The shiny black finish of the HM00013 frame is a property of the injection moulding process - the mould surface determines the finish, giving the frame a consistent, high-gloss appearance across the entire piece. Injected plastic is also lighter than acetate at the same thickness, which matters for a shield frame that covers a larger surface area than a standard sunglass.

H-D block logo design - the branding: The Harley-Davidson block logo is applied to the frame as a design element rather than a small temple badge - it's a visible, considered piece of H-D branding that suits the bold, uncompromising aesthetic of the fashion shield format. For riders who want their H-D identity visible in their eyewear as well as their apparel, the block logo placement on the HM00013 delivers that without being subtle about it.
