Hey everyone, I managed to win the ARV 116 prize from armada with my review and I'm stoked! However I'm not sure what size I should get. I am 130lbs and around 5'10. My height says I should get 185s but my weight suggests I should get 175s. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Yeah I've been trying to bulk up a bit this summer, so I think that's a good idea

for real tho id recommended the 185, might feel a bit long at the start but with your height I'd say it's the better option even more if you manage to put on a bit of weight, id say the 175 would feel short quickly and you'd be wishing you sized up

the arv 116 is rockered so the 175 will be even shorter than that. i recommend the 185 because u will get used to the length quickly and long skis just look cool. (P.S. i was deciding my next park ski a few weeks back and i was stuck between arv 96 in 177 and 184, i opted for 184 in the end.)

185 all the way!! Ive put people who weigh less and and are shorter the you on that ski. its such a versatile and forgiving ski. absolutely my all time favorite ski I've ever owned. enjoy them. you'll have a blast.
