well, the invaders are thinner than the anthems. i guess thats about it... they are both pretty flimsy, buttery skis.

well baisicly the only reson im timid to get the invaders is im douting how theyd be on jumps and washing out landings,

are the anthems much heavier than the invaders?

i own both invaders and anthems, and i haven't found them to wash out on me, but i do hit small jumps like 20-30 feet. I found the anthems to be about the same weight, cant really tell the difference, they are ehavier but not noticeably. I love both skis, it's really a toos up but i'd say go anthem cause the extra width doesnt hurt.

I got invaders towards the end of the season and because of shipping and having to get new bindings i didnt get to use them. there sitting in my room and I cannot wait to mount em and get rippin this year. pretty light and super buttery from what ive heard.

havent tried the anthems though so I have no experience with those skis.

^^^ prolly cause they're better for rails and easier for switchups and stuff? maybe, idk. But I got the Invaders but havent taken them on a jump yet ( I got them this summer) so I dont know how they are on jumps...but if your trying to do bigger jumps get the anthems

i ride invaders they are not as wide under oot but there supper fexible on rails and boxes but im pretty sure anthem would be the better buy cuz of better quality. no way on the blend heavy and stiff. good choice with line though!
