classic aviator silhouette with a sculpted double bridge. 6-base tajima polarized lens with integrated side shields for peripheral coverage. double-stacked spring hinge on a single axis — the visible mechanics that define the basn5 line. torpedo surface detail accents the temple design across the hinge gap, a signature element carried across every basn5 style. comes with a removable nose-bridge wind plug — for wind protection at high speed or a 70s-throwback silhouette shift.
fort point is the brick fortification that sits directly beneath the golden gate bridge — built in 1861, standing at the edge of the bay where the current runs hardest and the wind doesn't stop. it was designed to endure forces that never let up, and it has.
the frame borrows that logic. the brow bar's cutout architecture gives fort point a silhouette unlike anything else in the line — structural, visible, immediately identifiable. integrated side shields handle wind and light from the sides. it's the frame that works on the water, on the course, in the city, on a trail, and at a gathering. the proportions fit the widest range of faces in the collection. wherever you put fort point, it holds.

a single advanced material with distinctive visual and tactile appeal. matte in finish. lightweight in hand. sculptural in detail.
natural resistance to sunscreen and skin oils. no paint, no rubber. the finish is the material itself.
tough enough to last season after season. malleable enough to fine-tune the fit.

medium fit. the most versatile in the basn5 line — wraps gently for a secure hold without squeezing. integrated side shields handle wind and light from the sides.
bulbous temple tips ease the frame on and off. thinned ahead of the tip — bend gently to mold the fit.
sculpted brow bar with cutout channels reduces material weight while reinforcing the frame's upper structure.
