Pit Viper Ski

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets the Pit Viper BN5000 goggles apart from other Pit Viper models?

  The BN5000 features Worldwide Vision Technology with wrapped side shields to maximize ultra-wide peripheral vision and enhance color and contrast. It pairs HDPV (High Definition Polycarbonate Vision) lenses with anti-fog coatings and 100% UVA/UVB protection, and uses the Magic Magnet system for fast, tool-free lens changes while remaining helmet-compatible.
• How does the Magic Magnet lens changing system work and which Pit Viper models include it?

  The Magic Magnet system uses magnetic attachment points to let you swap lenses quickly on the hill without tools, which makes adapting to changing light fast and easy. Most modern Pit Viper goggles include it—examples include the BN5000 and many Exec variants—and pairs commonly ship with at least one alternate lens for different conditions.
• What lenses should I choose for bright sun, flat light, or stormy conditions?

  Pit Viper’s HDPV lenses come in different light transmissions: choose a low-VLT/CAT 3 lens (for example, ~14% VLT) for bright sun and a higher-VLT lens for flat or stormy light to preserve contrast. Use the included alternate lens and the Magic Magnet system to swap as conditions change; anti-fog coatings and frame venting help maintain clarity in wet or cold weather.
• How do the BN5000 and Exec French Fry goggles compare in field of view and fit?

  The BN5000 emphasizes maximum peripheral vision via Worldwide Vision Technology and wrapped side shields, while the Exec French Fry offers similar HDPV optics but is available in two sizes to better match different face shapes. Both are helmet-compatible, feature anti-fog coatings, and typically use the Magic Magnet lens system, so the choice often comes down to preferred fit and style.
