Armada Sizes

I know Phil and Dollo are pretty short, but us taller folks need those 185-188 Edollo/Bdog skis back (cant remember the exact size). I tested the 180 stranger at a demo this past season and remember thinking the ski would really slap if they offered a larger size. I'm around 6'2, I know Quinn Wolf has been hording old 2014 188 Dollo's probably for the same reason. Just wondering if people miss these as much as I do? I also see Liam Downey riding the stranger and he's like 6'5 so idk.

Strangers have such a short turn radius they’re meant to be skied short like a sakana. But ya I totally feel, the 188s should fs make a comeback

totally depends on preference obviously but I have to agree that their sizing is pretty weird. Not as bad as the bentchetlers (with the exception of the 120) but it’s still pretty bad

They also run shorter, so a 180 is like 177-178. A 185 a least would be awesome

I couldnt agree more! I’m 6’2” and the only “park ski” they have that would work is the arv 96 or stranger. I want the bdog or edollo in the long length again!! Also @ARMADA We need that 121 Whitewalker in longer length also

They could call it how it is and do a 178 and a 185. Big enough gap there I think.
