alright so ive been looking at two pairs of skis, armada halos and the moment jibs. ik that armada makes good stuff and gets good reviews and ik that moments are handmade and usually handmade stuff is pretty good. im lookin for a sii with a low swing weight that i can get technical with. if anyone has some reviews or some input on these skis or another ski that is like what im lookin for id like to know

If you are looking for light weight look no further than the Jibbs. They are the most light weight skis I have ever road. I loved mine and you recommend them highly. Also I found that Moments have a higher level of durability.

if topsheet chips bug you, go with the moments, I like the feel of the armadas more, the moments ride a little bit planky just because of the construction, but they are more durable and the cores stay more poppy for longer

rode the jibs most of last season at northstar, really enjoyed the pop and flex, i'm on the vices now and love the mustache camber even more. cant speak on behalf of the armadas but from my totally biased experience the jibs were great, better on rails than those 45+ jumps though for sure

both are solid choices, i ride armadas and they've held up really well for a year of hard shredding, the topsheets are chipping pretty bad but that's to be expected with cap construction. As for moments, i've known multiple people who've snapped tails or gotten delams within the first few weeks of owning their skis. that being said, i'd have no problem buying a pair of moments for pow, but based off my friends' experiences, im sticking to armada for shralping the park

Moment swing weight is retarded light. Best swing weight of any ski I have ridden.

They are both pretty soft buttery skis, but I have ridden the jibs for awhile now and loved every minute on em! They are super durable too

i loved my moments, they were sooo light. but the edges ripped out halfway through the first season while I've had armada's that lasted much longer so it's hard for me to say...

moment for sure. lightest, most durable ski I've ever been on. 3 seasons strong and still poppy as all hell, I feel like they are just now in their prime. Seriously, I break a pair of skis every year pretty much, so for a ski to hold up for 3 is unreal for me. Moment kills it.

Buy skis from people that advertise on newschoolers.

Use the banner advertising as a guide, then mix it with reviews and opinions on here.

Moments are fun but I've got to recommend Armada here. T-Halls and AR7's are super fun skis, and last a long time.

Yup. Armada's durability, coupled with the low swing weight of their skis, make them second to none for me. Can't go wrong with them.

Moments definitely have some durability issues. I loved my jibs, but they broke in 4 months

Listen to the Deane, i mean, he's the head of the school of skiing right?

Anyways the Jibs are extremely awesome, plus theres a Team version of them as well.

Team Jib = slightly stiffer and has awesome race base! (If you're looking for a competition ski)
