Hi fellas, so iam thinking about ordering a pair of armada halos, but i got a few questions.
How soft are they? Atm iam riding a pair of beatdown thrusters which are kinda stiff, so iam not really used to soft skis.
Also which length should i buy, iam 180cm myself, is the 182cm skis good for me or should i go for the 176cm ones?
And what are your thoughts about the armada halos, good or bad? help a brotha out.

For the length of the ski, its all about preference, I like a longer ski but if you want to spin faster as well as not get caught up, go for the shorter ski. In terms of the ski itself, I have tried it and its pretty buttery with some park rocker which is nice. Armada has also hooked it up with 5 dimensions, look it up, its pretty sweet. Hope I could help.

so you dont think the 176 is way too short for me with the rocker and all?
