Just saw this on Torin's facebook. Click for larger image

Next years Pipe Cleaner or I was thinking a TYW Pro as he has been basically only been using prototypes this summer from what I've seen.

Same, I'm not really into this whole "designer" look outerwear is headed towards. Slimmer and slimmer fits never made any sense to me since it just limits mobility compared to baggy.

Armada has always been very careful on who sees their product and especially takes pictures of it during SIA so I wouldn't expect much photos of Armadas stuff via SIA. I haven't even been able to get my hands on a catalog because they had some people posting pictures from the catalog last year and they got very upset. My rep was only given 1 so far but next week ill be with him at a demo show and ill get a few catalogs so I can answer questions. Heard its sick tho!

Aaahhh another reason to hate Armada.
It's just skis and ski gear, it's just skiing, who in the fuck cares? It's not going to hurt sales, tarnish the brand, or generate more hype by hiding it.
Armada needs to take a not from every other ski company and get over themselves because this time next year it's going to be irrelevant anyways.

Certain brands need to generate artificial hype. Armada has certainly jumped the shark. Honestly. If you want a good Armada ski, then buy Atomic.

What do you mean, "if you want a good armada ski buy atomic"? I know atomic makes Armadas skis but, why? Armada park skis are top notch.

Overpriced for what you're getting.
Not a fan of the way they ski.
Making products too similar to too many others
Too big of a product line, causes confusion, and too many skis for a single demographic, think Toyota.
White men from Montana, Sweded, Canada pretending to be Jamaican
I can go on if you'd like

Also, I love the look of the EG3's and the Smith I/O Sevens, as well as whatever the new Oakley frameless model is(if that ends up coming to retail) and I'll be really excited to see how they compare to my current M2's. I have a reaaaal issue with sweating a lot, which when using a beanie under my helmet actually caused my M2's to have some pretty bad fogging issues, wondering if the airtight seal on the EG3's will solve that.

Agreed. Old Armada was great, original ar6, pipe cleaner, and t halls were awesome.
They went to Capwall construction on almost every ski and have no ski that really grabs out to me as an "I need that ski"
I've ridden a bunch of their newer stuff and it's just meh

In my opinion Saga has gone completely downhill in the past few years. These oversized logos covering half of the jacket look fucking stupid in my opinion. Less is more.

Well I snuck into sia when they were in copper today and here ate my thoughts on skis. The atomic belencher new tech tip stuff is kinds bull Shit on my opinion. Tips and tails ate super thick and they just tock a wee bit of the thickness off. My opinion total bs.

There is no amarda halo or in this year. The halo has been turned into a Phil cadabon pro model. Armada stuff looks tight.

Line , nothing has really changed . Cronics are the same as the past two Years same graphics .

On3p stuff looks beyond amazing super keen to demo some stuff from them.

K2 no longer has kungfujas.

Sorry for spelling. On mobile
