Pit Viper Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• What lens options do Pit Viper Originals offer for different lighting conditions?

  Pit Viper Originals come with polarized and multiple tint options, including mirrored finishes that cut glare and provide 100% UV protection; lenses are made from 1.2mm impact‑resistant high‑index plastic for trail durability. The dark polarized lenses excel in bright, sunny conditions but can be too dark for low or variable light, so choose lighter tints or clear lenses for dawn/dusk rides.
• How does the Kill-a-gram™ interchangeable lens system work on Pit Viper sunglasses?

  The Kill-a-gram™ system lets you quickly swap lenses and remove the lower frame section so you can ride with or without the bottom rim for added ventilation and field-of-view flexibility. Lens changes are tool‑free and designed for fast on-trail swaps, making it easy to adapt to changing weather or light.
• How should I choose the right Pit Viper fit for aggressive mountain biking?

  Look for the Originals’ three points of adjustment and flexible frame that accommodate larger head sizes while maintaining wrap‑around coverage to protect against branches and debris. The hydrophilic rubber nose pad over a metal band can be squeezed to fit different nose widths and stays grippy when sweating, and the lightweight ~26 g construction helps with all‑day comfort under a helmet.
• How do Pit Viper Originals compare to other high-performance cycling sunglasses?

  Pit Viper Originals stand out for bold styling, the Kill-a-gram™ interchangeable system, and very lightweight, ventilated open‑frame design that reduces fogging, while their polarized, mirrored 1.2mm lenses offer strong glare reduction and impact resistance. Compared with some premium road or race models, they prioritize versatility and coverage over ultra‑specialized lens options, so riders who need extensive low‑light tint choices should check available lens kits.
• What’s the best way to care for Pit Viper lenses and frames to avoid fogging and scratches?

  Rinse lenses with clean water to remove grit, then dry with a microfiber cloth; avoid household cleaners, paper towels, or abrasive materials that can scratch the 1.2mm lens surface. Keep the open‑frame vents clear to maintain airflow and prevent fogging, store frames in a soft case when not in use, and swap lenses using the Kill-a-gram™ system rather than forcing frames to minimize stress.
