Pit Viper Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• What light conditions are Pit Viper snow goggles best suited for?

  Pit Viper models use HDPV polycarbonate lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection and are offered in tints from CAT 1 to CAT 3 (about 15% for bright-sun CAT 3 on some models). For sunny days pick lower visible light transmission (CAT 3); for flat or stormy conditions choose higher transmission (CAT 1). Many Pit Viper goggles use the Magic Magnets™ magnetic lens-swap system so you can change tints quickly on the hill.
• How do Pit Viper goggles fit with helmets and what sizes should I choose?

  Pit Viper snow goggles are designed as unisex, helmet-compatible goggles with low-profile, semi-frameless frames that prioritize peripheral vision and seamless strap integration. Sizes like L accommodate most adult helmets, and the adjustable strap plus flexible frame helps dial in a secure seal without pressure points. Try them on with your helmet to confirm brow clearance and foam contact for comfort.
• How does The Power Surge Backslap compare to the Proform Actualbush & Gold?

  Both The Power Surge Backslap and the Proform Actualbush & Gold deliver Pit Viper hallmarks—Worldwide Vision™ semi-frameless wrap, Never Fog anti-fog treatment, and tough polycarbonate lenses—while differing mainly in styling, lens tint options, and strap graphics. Choose The Power Surge Backslap if you prioritize a specific lens tint or strap look, or the Proform Actualbush & Gold if its included lens or colorway matches your typical light and style preferences. Either model benefits from the same ventilation and helmet compatibility for aggressive riding.
• Are Pit Viper goggles durable enough for park sessions and backcountry use?

  Yes, Pit Viper snow goggles are built with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, reinforced frames, and full-frame ventilation intended to withstand hard use in parks and rugged backcountry environments. The construction is made to tolerate rough handling and repeated impacts while maintaining optical clarity and frame integrity. Regularly inspect lenses and foam after heavy impacts and swap damaged parts when needed.
• What should I consider when choosing lenses and accessories for Pit Viper snow goggles?

  Prioritize visible light transmission for the conditions you ride (CAT 3 ~15% for bright sun, CAT 1 for low light) and look for HDPV lenses to improve contrast at high speeds. Ensure the model has Magic Magnets™ or an easy-change system if you want quick field swaps, confirm helmet compatibility, and consider spare lenses or a bonus CAT 1 lens for overcast days. Also check strap width and foam interface to match your helmet and face shape for consistent comfort and seal.
