For all those asking here is where I got the fake pair from: amzn.to/3z0OBWK
And here is there official website: pitvipersunglasses.com/
Normally amazon would never sell fake sunglasses because they would get sued but it appears that Pit Viper does not actually own the trade mark for the pit viper name so because of that fakes may be legal.
Now I can not confirm that but that's what I have even hearing from people who say they have inside sources.
The link doesn’t work, what is the brand that sells the fakes on Amazon? Thx for this video btw
Hey,you misspelled "their"!! (Couldn't resist,daughter of a Chicago Public School High School English teacher!!) Looove my new $25 pink and blue vipers I got at s festival here last wee-end!! Don't need a fancy box and a bag,and if you have to work a little bit to pull em out,who CARES?!?! I'm not a stupid rich yuppie that has to have the status of having g the real thing g!!!

My Dad used to get “pit vipers” in the 90’s at work. They were extremely common and cheap safety glasses. The pit vipers are identical clones to those old safety glasses just with rad colors. These guys had a genius business idea selling $8 safety classes for $100
So fake ones same quality?
Temu has then for like 5 or 6 bucks.
they actually started off at a ski slope in colorado during the 90s, decorating the safety glasses and selling them, pretty dope origin story
Imagine paying 90 bucks for a "better quality box" LMAOO NAH
Imagine not being able to afford them 🤡

Me about to buy the fake ones because cheap🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
Bruh same . I dont want to spend 140 for the Merika Polarized ones.
My cheap ones just broke lol.
LMFAOAOAO MINES JUS CAME IN
Yeah. Think I'm gonna buy the fakes😁 I can buy three pair for price of one!
Fr
That’s what I doing lol
@@maddiecole440 same lol
That’s what I’m saying why would I spend 100 on sum that’s gonna brake when I can spend 25
I agree for the most part but I hot my 50% threw a friend college sale
The "real" ones aren't even that great. I bought a pair directly from Pit Viper years ago and polarization coating rubbed off the lenses and they scratch very easily. These are basically cheap military sunglasses that they paint and charge 10 times what the normally cost, so the "fake" ones are probably just as good as the real ones
@Liam Himself Ratio
based af
I respect you man for calling out this company
I literally found this video after getting some pit vipers from Amazon.... yeah... mine are fake
If you ask for a return they will give you a refund and probably let you keep them
That’s what happened to me
what did you expect lmao
same but I have seen real ones they work the same bro they r still great.
@@greenmachine668 they may if you don't care about true polarization. If you do, then go for the real ones hands down
If you’re in a position to afford real pits, you’re probably the wrong personality to actually rock these bad boys
Exactly 😙
Yes!
Rich man bad hurr durr
Kinda true but not really
What if you're wearing them ironically?
Honestly I kinda like how the fake sunglasses don’t stop when u use the rotate feature. This basically means you can wear the sunglasses in your hair with a simple rotation
Definitely going for the imitations. Thanks for the info!!
If you can pay 100 for some pitties good on you, but don't shame people who cant buy the real ones. At the end of the day theyre sunglasses they're gonna serve the same purpose
I bought fake ones for welding safety glasses and real ones to just wear and they’re literally the same thing quality wise. Just one pair was $100 and the other $13
@@j_ruiz1062can you send the link, I want to buy some cheap pit vipers
I have fake ones and real ones
You can definitely appreciate the quality more on the real
They still do this same job
As someone who owns multiple pairs of vipers, they are all "fake" they are made off the expired patent of the Oakley Blade, they are all made in China and more than likely by the same contractor. So save the money and get the "fakes".
Are they durable
Dude you uploaded at a good time I’ve been looking all day 😂
Haha
Omg same
@@ShadeReview How long does it take for the real pit vipers to ship directly from pit viper
@@laynealexander2658 4 days
@@carly3710 I have been waiting for mine for 6 days and I live 8 hours from their warehouse in Salt Lake City Utah
I mean I just got some off of Amazon and they’re fine there’s no glare the only difference I can find is there’s no code on the ear but who cares as long as it’s same quality it’s 60 bucks less I’m fine with it
We just scored 2 pair of the "fakes" at an amazon return place...20$ for the 2...I break and lose sunglasses so why would I want to pay more than that? The look just like the 124$ CAN ones and they do what a pair of sunglasses needs to do LOL
The "fake" Pit Vipers polarize layer have lasted longer than my real pairs lol. Since then I've purchased several knockoff pairs as backups at only $12 each pair. Minus shipping.
Idk if u gon see this but we’re u get them
Where you get them bruh
Link?
Wb the nose thing. Is he right? Does it feel cheap
@@jarenventuresi have several knockoffs too and the nose part doesn’t really bother me as much but again i probably just got used to having them on. i can agree that the fake ones have been lasting longer than the real ones though and kinda like what he said if they break then its not that expensive to just buy another knockoff
These are some sunglasses where the real scam is buying the genuine ones 🤣
he talks about how "cheap" it feels before even touching it smh
He talks about the little plastic thing they come in that feels fake and cheaply made. Which they are as I’ve just gotten in the mail
I’m pretty sure they gave me fake ones. I ordered from the actual company. They just seem cheap
me too
@Brady Bryson same
There are clone websites
They are cheap. These are $2 military sunglasses they buy in bulk and custom paint. They were never high quality to begin with, you're just paying for the name
@@zachary_attackery eeeeeeexactly. Might as well just get a few pairs of the fake ones imo…
For what it's worth, I wear corrective lenses as I'm nearly blind. My prescription glasses were $500 and didn't come with polarized lenses. That's corrective lenses and some anti scratch coating. I bought the fake ones to fit over my glasses. They work for their intended purpose. 🤷🏻♀️ I tell people they're knock offs if they ask (not that pretentious). But they're so stupidly comparable - that I didn't see a purpose to spend another $150CDN on the style I wanted from pv only to inevitably scratch or damage them. I don't care about the box, they block the sun and UV completely. Work very well for cutting the water when I fish too. I didn't see a point in having a collective total of over a half grand on my face for my eyes. So $20 fake PVs it was.
facts
I bought a pair for only $25 so you really cant go wrong. they do offer UV protection I tested mine out with a UV detector So i bought 5 pairs for the price of one authentic pair plus these are not illegal so im fine with them
are they the double wide shape?
Exactly. I don’t understand why it’s a big deal to have “fake” ones. I just got mine today and they are pretty awesome
@@breenabean5314 fr they are just sunglasses
Just as good is the poor mindset.
Why the fuck would your sunglasses be illegal
Can you send the link, I want some cheap pit viper glasses
I see this right before I see my boyfriend after buying him some, I watch the video and I’m pretty sure I got fake ones, smh. gonna keep these for me and get the legit ones for him LMAO
Damn u a real one
Me too, I was gonna buy him a pair from Amazon but now I’m thinking they are fake? Do you think he will notice? The ones I wanted to get him are usually $119
@@reganboyer6692 mine never said anything and he loves them! sooo probably not! :)
Good gf energy
Umm apparently they don't care anymore because my pit vipers that I bought from the site came in the "fake" shipping
I’m here doing research on how bad fakes are, now I know I’m good to get the fakes
Keep in mind low quality sunglasses may be dangerous as the layer that contains the uv protection may wear off leaving the tint only causing eyes to dialate without being protected worse than no glasses
Idk though if the real pit vipers are high quality too
I just asked my dad for these exact fake ones for christmas because im a cheap ass
You get em?
sneaky booget in shipping
Sameee 😂
sneaky booget i got them and there so close to the real deal only missing the the made in china and bar code
@@Death-jd4qn Awesome!, at the end of the day their both made in china anyways so enjoy em bud style em till you cant no more
brought 2 fake pairs recently, both look mint, and not damaged at all, ill stick to paying 70 bucks rather than over 200 thanks

@@jacemcknight6666 get off youtube kid 🤣 fortnite is calling your name
I just bought some from amazon for $25 and they are great
I love mine
Can I get the link
Everyone is saying "I'm buying fakes" I have felt the fakes and worn them, they feel super cheaply made and feel like the will just snap when putting them on, it is definitely worth buying the reals
So your saying waste your money? Also how long have you been wearing the fakes because you can’t just wear them for one day and say they are trash.
Yeah I paid $149 after taxes for a pair and I’m glad I did
Exactly if you want quality glasses 90 bucks isnt too bad
Sounds like you sold everyone to the China pair for 30
Fakes are everywhere, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
ive only seen them on amazon
I broke so many suglasses playing flag football, I’m getting the fakes, they appear good. Might get two colors lol
hahaha @5:12 where it breaks free and he smashes the other sunglasses
Guarantee they both came from the same factory. For instance: The oil you buy at any store and any brand, came from the same oil truck and was bottled in the same plant. Your just paying an extra 10-20 bucks for a branded bottle.
True, I worked for several beverage companies and it’s the same thing, some companies have contract for grocery companies to make their store brand .
Facts
Those are two completely different styles you ordered the mystery polarised and the other ones are the monster bull polarised
Honestly I'm buying the "fake" ones
No cap I can’t afford the real ones 😂
I just got my “fake” ones off Amazon, and I can’t complain, they where affordable, and they are pretty cool glasses
@@breenabean5314 please post link where you bought them
Spoiler alert: They both come from the exact same manufacturers in China.
You are literally paying more for it to come in a fancy branded box. That's it.
What’s your source for this.
Or are you just randomly making stuff up?
@@ShadeReview check the suppliers for both companies they’re made in the same factory bro😭 I just checked. They also look exactly the same
the real ones are made in utah
ShadeReview is the type of guy to have a several thousand dollar watch on when #1 a video on pit viper sunglasses #2 a video on fake pit viper sunglases so funny lol
You are the only guy in the world who have a Tudor watch one and where Pit Viper sunglases at the same time
That didn’t make any sense, I had a stroke reading that
@@BrandonRodriguez-sb3dq its not a rolex that would be even more weird lol
Awesome now I know thank you very much Shade Review!!!
No problem thanks for watching!
bruh i payed 90 bucks still and just realized mine were fake 😐
bruh i bought mine off of the pit vipers website and mine ain’t got made in china or any of dat
My real ones say Taiwan
So, had to order a pair of fakes off ebay because they weren't restocking any of the styles I wanted. Gotta be honest, in comparison to the genuine ones my friends have, you really can't tell. The authentics are built so cheaply to begin with anyways, the only real difference in quality to me is the turbo adjustment on mine will flip up all the way as shown in the video, but otherwise the quality is basically the same between them. None of the other issues noted in this review apply to mine except the shipping packaging. Other than doing the right thing and supporting the real company by buying real pair, there's really no point to spend 3x as much on authentics when the fakes are essentially the same thing. I'll still get some authentic ones when they restock the pair I want just to say I have an authentic pair. But I'm also gonna buy more fakes, because they really are the same thing.
What style did you want
The sale of fakes is going to increase even more now that some of the real ones are going up in price.
Where did you buy the fakes from?
I made a fakes video as well, this is a great vid bro. Don’t buy fakes people!
Hey man. So I just bought a pair on Pit viper sunglasses online. On the website put viper sunglasses they were all sold out. It said they were 50 bucks with a $100 crossed out. I’m worried if their fakes.
@@SBRAUN-cy7mk ya there fake bro
Why does it matter if you buy “fake” ones. I just bought “fake” ones 🤷🏻♀️
Your cons for the fakes were kind of a stretch. Pit Vipers aren’t really high quality nor are they worth their price point.
cant you tell the difference between cardboard or a plastic box ?
Thanks for making this fright from the beginning I can tell which one was fake
That’s all I needed to know my first pair arrived to day and I was very excited and I opened them up got them out and read the inside of the ear arm thing and it says made in China I’m like shit have I been scammed but as you just said authentic pitvipers actually say it. Thank you for the help
Why would a counterfeiter from China tell you it's from China?
I was on the fence about dropping $119 on a pair of 2000 MERIKA’s for work, but seeing how they’re made in communist China, I find that it’d be absurd to buy something “patriotic” when it’s not even manufactured in my home country. Thank You for that information
I think they are manufactured in Salt Lake City
@@everythinghockey4085 but it’s says made in China
The only difference between this 2 sun glasses:
$70 dollars.
So the ones on Amazon are fake
like ya im gonna save 60 bucks idc what the packaging looks like the glasses are the same
Thanks for linking the website I was worried that I couldn’t find a real website
No problem!’
just realized my dad bought mine off amazon for a bday gift and turns out they’re fake lol
Don’t think much on it lol, I brought real ones and I completely feel like I wasted my money, I got stickers in my package and I was more excited about the stickers then the glasses themselves
You get what you pay for...
What if I ordered from the website but they fit the description of the fakes in this video
China doesn't hate me for not hating myself. China makes both. So I bought them from ali express and let everybody know they can get them there for like 10 bucks.
Yep! Me too. Pit Viper donates to dirtbags like the SPLC anyways.
Pretty sure from what I been seeing... the end of the ear hooks on the real ones have a hole and the fakes don't also if I'm not mistaken. Which was not mentioned here.
Who else realized there parents got them fake ones
Did I really don't get the difference they're all the same they all feel the same when I wear them they're about as comfortable as real ones I really enjoy them they keep the Sun out of my eyes I think you guys just called them fake cuz they're cheaper on Amazon that doesn't mean they're fake and everything in the package of the real ones comes inside the package of the fake ones there's just a couple different things about the package that doesn't make the glasses fake
They remind me of gargoyle sunglasses from the 80s but not nearly as nice. Gargoyles were known for being able to stop a 22 round.
I miss the 80s
I didn't really know pit vipers was a thing until I seen them on Facebook market place. I just liked the style and bought them for $25 a piece. But now I've seen this and I'm going to purchase some real ones to see for myself
It’s for the UV protection btw because you won’t feel the sun but the radiation would still have an effect who cares though the average pit viper owner doesn’t care neither do I
I got fake🤦♂️
Thanks for the info . Basically the same product. I'm buying the knockoffs
I bought 2 imitations for $3 each. I wouldn't say i got ripped off.
im getting the fake ones its not like no one is gonna go up to me and say "aye let me see the front"
pit vipers are so cheap why not just buy a real pair like you paid 30 dollars the real ones are 90 just pay the extra 60 and pit vipers arent even that high quality not even sure why you would buy one they got so much hype so they just made them bad and people still buy them the people who buy pit viper is like the people who buy apple phones they just pay for the hype they dont care about the quality i have seem multiple videos compaling about the terrible quality like one guy the UV protection just wiped right off!!! do you know how bad that is for your eyes then another guy the polariation just wiped off aswell then finnaly the whole lens color just wiped off!!!
For real!
If the real ones are so cheap, why would it be smart to buy them for retail when you could buy 3 pairs of replicas for the price of a real one? They’re both made in China anyway, no point in paying for real ones other than to flex on IG for people who couldn’t care less.
@@vinnyvidivici idk i just dont like buying replacas it feels bad i wouldhnt buy any in the first place
I have held a few real pairs of pit vipers and to be honest I’ve been an Oakley person for a while and I was disappointed in the quality of the plastic that the real pit vipers had. For $119 dollars for a “2000s” pair I would’ve rather paired for a used pair of oakleys that feel sturdy and well built. The fake pit vipers honestly would be better for the money if you don’t have that extra 60 but still want that look.
@@emilygibbs8299 yea exactly and the look in my opioin is just horid like the reflective coating is way to strong it makes my eyes hurt the plastic is so cheap they squeak the optics suck and they have no lens tech give me 1 reason to buy one
Yah just found out mine are fake. Return
Everyone talking shit about buying the real Pit Vipers but in my experience if you buy cheap shit you end up buying it twice (the guy in this video literally accidentally ripped the whole frame arm off). If price or value is your concern most companies have pretty consistent sales just watch for those, I literally just got a pair of Pit Viper 2000’s off their site for $50 with shipping.
I got knockoffs for like $4 and they’re real enough, they look real on the outside and are polarized.
I bought some 25 dollar ones off Amazon and I waited 3 weeks for it and they sent the wrong color.
thats what u get for being a broke boy
@@lilnotoriginal7850 lol
I got a pair of real and fakes ones and honestly their is not much of a difference u can’t really tell
My grandma bought mine and the only thing hat looks fake is that it came with plastic on the glasses and idk where she bought them
Bless China and Noble, Honorable Chairman Xi for bringing us high quality sunglasses at a fair price
Yay for slave labor!
o7 in chat
They're the same glasses. Exact same frame from an older military design. Army "SPECS" frame to be exact. You can get old surplus specs for like 8-10 bucks. Willing to bet the only difference is the lens material, which causes the shades to flex more.
They shipped me double wides too when I ordered the 2000s
That sucks
Where the fake ones from
Tbh I don't care if I buy fakes because at the end of the day they are just sunglasses and probably better then the original
Imagine paying $90 for Chinese sunglasses 😂
They both work
no point in wasting money on the real ones. sunglasses get lost, broken, or scratched too often to dump that much money into a single pair.
Wow cool clear card bord
I just found out mine are fake but I have real ones coming as soon as I noticed they were fake
You can get different styles with buying fakes
i got the real ones but i kinda regret it because they look so small on my face because the lenses only come in one size if they are real but if they are fake they are a lot bigger.
But do the fakes protect against UV rays? I kinda doubt it. If the company is shady enough to plagiarize another brand then they are shady enough to lie about quality or just not provide it at all.
How does the actual glass quality compare on fake ones seeing wise? Are they polarized? Do they look decent through the fake like the real?
I have the fakes and they're still Polarized I don't see any difference besides the slightly louder squeak like he said
Pit Vipers are like Ray Ban
I'm yet to meet anyone wearing the genuine ones
I guess I got a good deal, a real pair for 60 bucks on eBay.
So the website in your bio! Is where you get the real ones?
What's funny is I came here through the pit viper website....
Wait really 🤣🤣
@@ShadeReview yea dude go browse their site.
Are the fake ones actually polarized?
Yes
How do we know what website is legit vs fake?
Order from the one linked in the description of this video
I think mines real because my ear piece does not go down like the fakes and the box ain’t faded and the nose piease does not move and the p looks good
Imagine paying 30$ dollar for the fake ones ahahah I paid 1 cent and they are perfect. I use them everyday on mtb
I’d still give pit viper my money they seem like such a cool company
I bought 30 pair for a dollar each at a store called black Friday lol. Sold each pair for 40 bucks at a flea market, sold out in an hour.
I bought mine from pit viper and I don’t have the “Made in China” words on the side
Where i buy the real Pit vipers
I got a pair of real and a couple fakes. If you dig into it you can spot them but meh they feel the same and work for me.
To me they are both very good and almost no difference i dont really see the big deal with this one🤷♀️
watch the video you will see how there is a big difrence
@@storozhevadaria3040 there’s really no difference 🤣 I’d rather save 70 bucks your a clown if you actually pay full for these 🤣🤣
Honestly though. I just got mine today from Amazon, and they are really affordable and they are pretty cool glasses. I’m not gonna pay 100+ $ on glasses lol
