<!–These New Shades Are Styled — and Priced — like the ’80s • Gear Patrol<!– –>

Let’s Talk About Specs


While the cool factor of sunglasses extends back literally centuries, it was just a few decades ago that truly bold colors and styles emerged, perhaps best represented by his Highness, Sir Randy Savage, Macho Man. But lest you worry that the eighties are behind us, fear not: the Pit Viper gang took a break from donating loads of protective eyewear to COVID-19 frontline fighters to launch new shades that channel those halcyon days — and are priced like it’s 1985 to boot.

The Grand Prix line features a rainbow of six styles, all costing just $49 and boasting an ANSI Z87+ safety rating, meaning, in the brand’s words “you can wear them welding, handling chemicals, forklifting, skiing, biking and zoom conferencing.”

Every pair also packs  removable side pieces, which not only amp up the protection, but also let you mix and match with friends for all-new combos as colorful as Savage himself. To which we can only say “Ohhhh yeahhhh!
