Thoughts and opinions on the new armada line that they just released on their website? Personally I think their skis aren't as nice looking as the previous years but I'm sure they are still the same good quality skis as previous years.I think that their outerwear has gone completely down hill, it's ugly in my opinion. What do you guys think?

I think that the Armada's new graphics (specifically the top sheets) are really not impressive. They had much better and more interesting graphics last year, but structurally, i am really excited for the new line. I think Armada made some great changes, especially in the Halo and the Alpha, by widening them up, which makes them better for jumps and stability in slush and light powder.

I was just about to make the same thread. I am not a fan of the new outerwear at all. They have some okay looking hoodies, but over the past year or 2 it has gotten kind of ugly. I remember 3 years ago I couldn't decide between 3-4 different coats, now I wouldn't buy any of them.

I am a fan of the camo hoodie with the armada logo in the middle. (The one henrik wore in xgames big air this season) but for the skis the graphics were definatly not as good as they have been. The al dente though is sick

I think the line this year is kind of disappointing, except the harlaut insulated, which i plan on getting.

I agree, Henriks look dope, but what happened to the ar7/coda/bantam? that graphic looks gross.

im mixed on this...i really liked graphics on the ar7 and arvti. dont like the t halls tho. love the idea of henriks ski. sounds like the arv but softer.

as far as outerwear, id like to see jp's outland jacket in person. same with the stealth. the shell looks sleek and super waterproof. some decent gloves and beanies too. i dunno...i kinda like this years line.

except that the couple of things i just tried to buy arent available yet. i know its only august, but boooo

I think the camo girls jacket is sick, but thats probably partially because its the jacket Maude wears

I feel like they could have done better with their outerwear this year, everything is kinda boring except for the Harlaut line. But I don't think the skis look bad at all, I'm actually pretty happy with them, the new halo topsheet looks awesome.
