I was chekin out the invaders and although a lot of you already knw this,they are way dope. So much lighter than i thought, cool graphics, nice topsheet material, butter zones are super, and the dimensions look really nice. I compared them to the armadas that were there and they looked way better and they are way cheeper. Just thought I'd let you know

i would rather have the armada topsheet, but the invaders features beats armada. there is too much going on on the invader topsheet. while sliding a rail, id prbly look at my skis instead of where im going

agreeably. I personally don't like some of the ar5 topsheets just to much color. the 170 ar5 is the one i like the best. but i do like the invader topsheet. i can't wait to get them from jibij this week.

The Ar5's definatly look like they are better constructed than the Invaders. I've had lines in the past and they didn't hold up like i had hoped.

I'm actually liking the graphics better than the Armada's. It's all personal style, but yea, they're both sweet.

no skis hold up to rails period, but line stands behind their shit one hundred percent....

Im not sure how armadas warranty service is but im sure it is good too.

care to elaborate? why do they suck?

NOBODY who has ridden them would agree with you, especially because very few skis suck.

i really dont get all the line hating, why dont people direct their hate towards a company that really doesnt stand by their product, like say....salomon....not saying they arent sic i rocked 1080's last year, but their warranty program sucks.

dont the invaders have thicker tips? wouldnt that stabalize on landings...if im wrong and invaders will wash out...lemme know im considering buying them

and for the record the invaders have a punk rock vibe (growing on me but kind of annoying)
armada has a 17 yr old kid on acid point of view which is trippy...so u def cant compare the two. so stop bitchin
