The Pit Viper Elipticals take the usual Pit Viper attitude and give it a rounder, more expressive shape. If you like the brand's bold feel but want something that looks a touch different from the traditional Originals silhouette, this is the model that makes sense. They work well for beach days, watersports trips, travel and general active outdoor use where you want a pair that stands out but still feels practical. What makes the Elipticals interesting is that they keep the adjustable Pit Viper approach while softening the overall lens shape. That gives them a slightly different personality on the face, while still keeping the durable frame and impact-resistant polycarbonate lens that active buyers tend to look for. Where They Sit in the Range The Elipticals sit between style-led lifestyle wear and practical sports sunglasses. If you want the most classic Pit Viper shape, look at the Pit Viper Polarized Originals. If you want more width and a fuller wraparound feel, the Pit Viper Polarized Double Wides are the stronger option. If you want a clear protective lens rather than a tinted all-round sunglass, the Pit Viper Exciters are the more specific choice. Why Choose the Elipticals Rounder lens shape gives a different look from the more traditional Pit Viper models. Adjustable frame helps you fine-tune comfort rather than making do with a fixed fit. Impact-resistant polycarbonate lens keeps them practical for active use. Medium to large fit works well for plenty of adult buyers who want a bit more space. Easy crossover appeal from watersports and travel to everyday sunny-weather wear.

FAQs What makes the Elipticals different from the Originals? The biggest difference is the look and fit. The Elipticals have a rounder lens shape and suit a medium to large fit, while the Originals are more classic in shape and better for a smaller adult fit. Are they suitable for watersports use? Yes. They are a good match for active outdoor use, especially if you want something durable and comfortable for beach and water-based days. We would suggest adding a floating retainer if they are going anywhere near deep water. Are these better for wider faces? They can be. The Elipticals suit a medium to large fit, so they are a better option than the Originals if you usually need a bit more space, although the Double Wides still offer the broadest overall fit. Do they include a hard case? The current product information confirms reach-around earpieces and a cleaning cloth. If you specifically need a hard case, it is best not to assume one is included.
