im getting one of these possible a T-Hall but probably one of those. I am leaning slightly over to fuji because they seem a bit better. Also line is pretty hard to get in NZ but lets put that aside for the moment.Pros and cons?.....

the plain graphics are tight. invaders are terrible looking. like 50 skizophrenic kids went to work on the skis with pencils. its just a mess. ugly as hell. cool bases, but tahts it.2005 armadas have amazing art, and unlike invaders, its not scattered. and plain graphics like on the 3 year old armadas and the t halls are amazing, thats why they're so popular.

I had a pair of fujatives when they came out. So I'll give my take on both skis.

The flex is different on the skis so saying they have similar flex isn't a true statement. The invader flexes right in front and behind the binding, a better flex for buttering. The fujative has stiff underfoot and in front/behind the binding but soft tips and tails, still will butter but not as easily and controlable in my opinion.

As an all mountain ski the fujative is better than the invader but still sucks dong. If you want to leave the park don't buy a pure park ski such as these.

The symmetrical shape and true ctr. mounting of the invader are super sick. Switch is definitely more comfortable and spins are a little easier in tight areas because of the reduced tip length.

The invader is noticeably lighter than the fuj. Some people really care how light their skis are so I threw that one in there.

yeah fujatives actually are pretty good outside of the park and even in powder. soooo unless your spolied and have like a ski for every MT situation, then you'd see that theyre pretty good...

^ i know what you mean. 80% of people either have a fuji or invader. I guess the choice is easy for me as there is no line dealers in NZ

yeah i wasnt knocking the invaders at all. i was just saying that fujatives are fine all mountain. you cant say theyre only good as a park ski and you should get something for all mt. they work great.

They are both cheap skis and that really helps.
