With all the sleek-designed ballistic glasses that are in the market today, one company decided to buck the trend to stick with the 1990s. Pit Viper looks like a fun-loving company that started as garage business painting military surplus sunglasses and making them the wearer look like someone who has entered the WWE ready to do battle against the wrestling heroes of the 90s. Looking at their Facebook Page, they sure looked to be having so much fun with all their photos with people wearing their work.

But they ran out of military surplus sunglasses used as based glasses for the Pit Viper Glasses that they decided to run to Kickstarter to start a fundraising (or "funraising?") campaign to have an upgraded version of the Pit Vipers and making their own rather than scrounging around for the now hard to find surplus sunglasses. The design upgraded they made were more of functionalities to make them fit to different face types but not compromising the 90s look that the Pit Viper glasses are famous for. According to them, the funds raised through crowdfunding on Kickstarter will go towards:

• Creation of the Pit Viper production mold.
• A first run of about 5,000 pairs (the minimum quantity required to produce them).
• Some modest administrative cost (like rent for our warehouse).

According to them, the Pit Vipers are Z87 Safety Rated (and thus great for airsoft use), 100% UV protection, adjustable, float resistant, and best of all, it is "Party Enhancing."  So after a day playing airsoft, you can still wear the Pit Viper as party wear to make the ladies (and guys) swoon over you.

What we like the new Pit Viper Features are the adjustability for the temple, ear, and nose:

• Turbo is a temple adjustment that will tilt the lenses to your liking and will give your Pit Vipers the face grip you need for the correct level of intensity. Need to turn it up? Go Full Turbo. Time for relaxing in a hot tub? Op-Turbo is the setting of choice. 
• E-Spot, also known as Ear Piece Spot, is ideal for dialing in the perfect wrap around your ear holes. Never thought about how far back your ears are on your head? Neither have most people. But it matters. Get the right fit and decide how deep you want it in. 
• The form fitting nose piece dubbed "The Nose Bender" will match your bridge and give you the comfort and performance you deserve. Nose Bender, it has a memory.

There are several variants of the Pit Viper which are made to fit your taste, color preferences, or your party mood. For us, any would do, though we are digging "The Cosmos" variant.

With about less than 3 days to go, it has already achieved its funding goal of US$30,000 on  Kickstarter and has hit almost 35k as of this writing. There are still slots for you to pledge your backing and still be one of the first to own one of these new and improved Pit Viper sunglasses.
