Armada Outerwear (Transition from Oakley?)

So, some of the Armada team is also sponsored by Oakley (THall, Jacob Wester, etc.). Now that Armada is launching outerwear, will the team transition away from Oakley outerwear? Will they still rep Oakley goggles? Just a thought.

Maybe in the future but now they have contracts with armada only for skis and goggle and outerwear contracts with Oakley that they have to honour

maybe...
i don't see tanner or simon leaving oakley anytime soon.
but the armada team is way bigger than just hall and wester.
you will probably see a couple guys you have never heard of straight KILLING IT in armada outerwears.

t-hall and dumont just got signature lines for next year so I really doubt armada can make an offer that will get them to move after their contract with oakley runs out.

T-Hall is a little more than sponsored by Armada, which is why this is an interesting subject.

did you predict jon leaving though? in the long run, building up a company you have a real stake in (ie Hall with Armada) may be smarter than being a member of a pro team, even one as sick as oakley's.

Yeah, I thought he would actually. Oakley didn't fit his style/attiude any longer and he's in a position where he can pretty much choose his sponsors (or invent them like with yniq).
