Has anyone used the Armada Chapter Jacket? I’m looking at the Armada x Evo one and I wanna know if it sucks or it’s good.

i did'nt purchase the Chapter, instead i got the Boarderline....which was 5 seasons ago. as far as the jacket quality, its pretty dang good for it being manufactured in China. No material tear or fatigue that i can spot on my jacket. Not sure if the Chapter has it, but my jacket has a little 'pass pocket' on the wrist of the left arm which is super handy. the material is starting to fade on mine and its getting dirty. the water proofing is great but after one season its was all gone. the water resistence is 10,000mm fabric. ive worn a sports tee (non-cotton) and this jacket in 0 degree weather and was fine. Armada jackets can be costly, i paid $299 plus tax for mine except it was in-store, maybe buying online is cheaper, but u dont get to try it on and stuff! best of luck

Thanks man, the chapter is gore Tex and it does have the pass pocket on the sleeve. It’s currently $210 and it looks really good

i've used the chapter for 2 seasons now, it's a super solid jacket and the waterproofing has been good. roomy pockets and the little liner is good on coldest days, however i'm changing to a true shell jacket cause the chapter is a little too hot for me on warmer days. and sometimes the main zipper gets stuck but i think that's mainly a user error hahah. if you can get for a good price go for it.

The Chapter has been my all-time favorite ski jacket. Slightly more of a technical fit, if you're looking for a taller fit you should definitely size up.

By taller fit you mean longer?

Exactly. Width wise it's pretty true to size but length it's a little shorter. It's more of a technical shell (very waterproof) so on the cold days you'll need a hoody or a puffy underneath or you'll be pretty cold.

Oh alright, I usually wear some Salomon mid layer or a north face thing on colder days. I probably wouldn’t use the jacket all the time mostly just in the park. Is it really short? Like to the point where it looks stupid or is it cool looking still

Got an Aspect jacket last year which was cheap but is good quality, I think you can generally trust Armada soft goods these days
