Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Pit Viper sunglasses or goggles are best for bright, glare-heavy conditions like on water or snow?

  Polarized models like The Flip-Offs Polarized Sunglasses are the most effective at cutting horizontal glare on water, while goggles such as the BN5000 and Proform are built to block wind and reflexive snow glare. Choose polycarbonate lenses with 100% UVA + UVB protection and pick lens tints/VLT (for example, The Pleasurecraft’s 12% CAT 3 option for very bright days) that match the light conditions.
• How do Pit Viper’s TR90 frames and no-slip-grip rubberized touch points affect fit and comfort during high-energy activities?

  TR90 frames are lightweight and flexible, which helps sunglasses flex to your face without feeling heavy, and the no-slip-grip rubberized touch points keep frames from sliding during movement. Many models also feature adjustable temple arms (the “turbo” style on some pieces) so you can fine-tune retention for running, skiing, or boating.
• How does The Original Wide compare to The Original and The Flip-Offs for face shape and coverage?

  The Original Wide is designed to offer broader coverage and a roomier fit for larger or wider face shapes, while The Original provides the classic Pit Viper silhouette in a more standard fit. The Flip-Offs stand out by pairing Pit Viper styling with polarized lenses for stronger glare control, so choose based on your fit needs and whether polarization is a priority.
• Which Pit Viper goggles are best for skiing and what should I check when choosing between BN5000 and Proform?

  Both the BN5000 and Proform are positioned as snow goggles meant to resist wind and offer clear vision on slopes; when choosing between them, prioritize fit with your helmet, lens tint/VLT for the typical light you ride in, and how the goggle seals to your face for wind blocking. Confirm the specific lens color and category for your usual conditions and that the frame shape gives the field of view you want.
• What accessories does Pit Viper offer for water activities and how can I keep sunglasses from sinking or getting lost?

  Pit Viper makes water-ready accessories like floating rigs and neoprene-style retainers, plus chains, cases, and clips to secure frames when you’re on the water. For boating or swimming use a floating rig or buoyant retainer, rinse salt or chlorine off polycarbonate lenses after exposure, and store shades in a protective case when not in use.
