If you want your edge to come out, buy bdogs
If you want your edge to come out and get your skis replaced for free, buy j skis

If you want misinformation believe/listen to what this guy says...

Your edge is only going to come out if you abuse and neglect your skis or do stupid shit with them, and if you do stupid shit and break the edge no ski company on the face of the earth will replace the skis for free.

If you hit rails your warranty is void.

I don't think that they are bad quality but at least 3 people I know say that j skis are the least durable skis they've ridden. I've heard less about the bdogs but I haven't heard many good things about them.
I've ridden my buddy's Js and they're a ton of fun though. I don't mean to bag on either companies I'm just saying what I've heard

Sorry, I did not mean to misinform but my buddy had the whipit stolens and the edge came out after a month and he emailed Jason about it and he said that he could get any of the 2016 whipits for free because of what happened. I believe Jason mentioned something about the old whipits having a thinner edge than what they use now.

J skis use a 2.5mm by 2.5mm edge whereas Armada uses a 2mm (it might actually be 2.2mm not entirely sure) x 2.5mm. So J Skis have a slightly thicker edge although my Armadas have always lasted me a long time and edge durability hasn't been an issue for me.

b - dogs are a very underrated ski. they ski amazing and excel in the park and all over the mountain as well, and shit , they are even wide enough for some people to handle pow days as well , and imo the b - dogs have a good chance of being a one ski quiver for some people. one things for sure tho, they are fun as hell to ski on. and i only had the chance to ski them for a few runs in the park, all mountain, groomers , and even took them into the slack country and they could hang in all aspects while looking good doing it. i plan on buying some b-dogs during this summer if i can get the price right and find my size etc.

Go armada's. I had a pair of J tropic thunder and only lasted me a 2 months or so until just becoming destroyed. On the other hand ive had my ar7's for almost a year and half and still are in pretty good condition.

I came here to roast ya when you said they both have 2.5 mm edges. But negromancer beat me to it. But in my book jskis over any armada construction wise
