After its founding in France, Aphex distinguished itself by forming a ""family"" of different athletes and users of its products, which it maintains from year to year and expands as its lineups grow. This family is large and primarily made up of people like those in Aphex's largest customer base: ski enthusiasts.
From its most basic options, Aphex's ski goggles and straps offer colours aplenty. But aside from just picking a colour, each different version of an item in Aphex's options will have something else slightly different about it: a touch of shading here, a dab of shading there, for example. This makes most of Aphex's items visually unique, and that in turn makes Aphex uniquely fashionable among ski goggle makers. There's no guarantee that an Aphex item will fit everyone's sense of fashion, but those with open minds and an appreciation for design will probably find that Aphex suits them well.
Aphex's goggles and sunglasses are most often found in Category 2, which provides more than the minimal sun protection that you'll receive from Category 1 sunglasses. This category does very little to hamper visibility and lets the wearer see in most of the same colours that they would be able to without sunglasses, while still protecting the eyes from harmful rays and other sun-based dangers.
Aphex's primary products are eyewear for skiing. This eyewear takes many forms, with the most common being two sturdy lenses connected by a thick, colourful band that wraps around the head. Aphex's ski eyewear benefits from its skill in making sunglasses, and it tends to provide an adequate level of protection while skiing in the sun without impacting comfort, visibility or style.
Though protecting your ski lens is paramount, ski goggle straps can be damaged as well. When this happens, it's often a much better idea to buy a new set of straps for your ski mask instead of buying a new one entirely. Aphex sells ski straps for their ski goggles that should also work with a number of other ski goggle types.
