Hi to all. I have some questions about buying gear for my girlfriend. She's 166cm tall and 54kg weight. She's study skiing, but i would like to buy a gear for many years, thats why i want a good stuff, a stuff for grown level. I looked for Armada Cantika and think they pretty good technically and in design. I know that Armada skis are light, but i don't know what's height to buy for her: 150 or 157? And what about binds: i think something like Tyrolia TH 11 will be enough and fine, is it? Thanks.

Definitely 157, if not something in the low to mid 160's. with twin tips, a good sizing reference is around the forhead to the top of the head.

It's sad, but there is no Catinka 160, only 164. I think it will be big for her, especially in the first years. And i didn't see sales on 164(. Only 150 and 157. So, i hope 157 won't be a big mistake, is it?

It will definitely be on the smaller side, but assumin she's learning it would work. It will definitely cause her problems if she ever tries to go off piste and will lack stability when she starts to go faster
