What makes the 1993 Polarized glasses unique?

The fluorescent colours of the lenses and the Pit Viper lettering across the top make the original Pit Viper really unique. The brightly coloured frame arms with blue and red dots also stand out.

Suitable for winter and windy conditions, the Pit Viper sunglasses from the Grand Prix collection are the closest thing to snow goggles. The frame’s temples have removable side pieces in many different colours.

 The Elliptical

The Elliptical collection is a replica of the original Pit Viper collection. Suitable for small faces, the Elliptical glasses are offered in size XS and have a rounded shape that doesn’t compromise on style. We love them for their look that is a little different and a lot less common than the original Pit Viper model. Don’t let the small size fool you, these Pit Vipers also go big with tough polycarbonate lenses and full UV protection.

Pit Viper Mountain Bike

What are Pit Viper Sunglasses for?

Pit Viper sunglasses are ideal for any outdoor sport that requires protection from UV rays, wind or debris. They can be seen on hiking trails, mountain bike trails, running and biking routes, cross country and downhill ski trails, and on boats driven by wake boarders, kayakers and fishermen. While they offer the optimal combination of style and performance, Pit Viper goggles stand out first and foremost for their look that never goes unnoticed. For this reason, Pit Viper eyewear crosses the boundaries of sport and performance, and has been embraced by trend-setting fans at festivals and outdoor parties.  They are truly designed for a wild and outgoing lifestyle.

Quality

Pit Viper lenses are made of 1.2 mm thick plastic or 2.2 mm thick polycarbonate. Both lens designs have a high impact rating. Pay attention to the lens material when choosing your Pit Viper sunglasses, because some models do not have polarized lenses. Pit Vipers are perfect for light conditions that involve a lot of water and snow. All Pit Vipers offer 100% UV protection. Pit Viper lenses have a Z87+ rating against impact, chemicals and dust. 

Features

Pit Vipers sunglasses offer a wide variety of features. Most frames have three points of adjustment. The lightweight design has non-slip nose pads and rubber ear pads. Finally, the turbo adjustment system allows you to tilt the lens closer or farther from your face, making it more comfortable with a helmet.

The Originals and The Ellipticals offer polarized side-view. To prevent fogging, you can adjust the height of the glasses and their distance from the face. Grand Prix and The Intimidators have side shields (sometimes removable) to provide foolproof protection from wind and glare.

FAQ

Do Pit Viper sunglasses float?

Pit Viper sunglasses do not float, but they are designed to stay on the surface of the water for several seconds. Some models, such as the Grand Prix Collection, have an extendable cord that allows you to hang them around your neck to prevent them from getting lost in the water.

How do you clean Pit Viper sunglasses?

To clean polarized sunglasses, first rinse them with warm water. Do not rinse with salt water. To remove fingerprints and smudges, use the Pit Viper cloth or another microfiber cloth designed for lenses. Do not use your shirt or other cloth to clean the sunglasses. 

If warm water or a cloth doesn't work, use a lens cleaner. The ideal cleaner should have a pH between 5.5 and 8 and should not contain alcohol.
