I recently purchased a pair of what I thought were like Pit Vipers from Dick's Sporting Goods. Turns out, they were more like "Pit Viper-Imitation Cheap Plastic Shields" or "PVC Cheapies" for short. I should have known something was off when I saw the price tag. But hey, who doesn't love a good deal? Apparently, that "deal" came with a complimentary dose of regret. These knockoff Pit Vipers are so flimsy, a light breeze might be enough to send them into the stratosphere. They kept sliding down my nose as if they were trying to escape my face. The lenses were so warped, I felt like I was looking through a funhouse mirror. Plus, the "UV protection" was more like "UV suggestion." On the bright side, my dog now has a new chew toy, and I have a new story to tell about the time I tried to save a few bucks and ended up with glorified carnival prizes. Lesson learned. I'll be taking my business elsewhere, preferably somewhere that doesn't sell sunglasses made from the hopes and dreams of shattered expectations.
