Bought this hat a couple months ago and haven’t taken it off since. Can anyone tell me when it was made or just any cool info on it?

seeing the bird print on the inside of the hat immediately made me think of the old AR7s, I'm guessing the hat is from that era?

these are the 2013 model

Those were the skis that I coveted the most when I was younger. Instantly thought anyone on them were to coolest skier on the hill.

Same, plus it just sounded sick asf telling ppl you ride AR7s. Great name.
 
I’ll always think of the AR5. The OG

I still miss my first armadas. 2009 AR6s. Wish I still had them. I thought the graphics were so dope and loved how Armadas were so rare then. You never saw them.

The 176 was my first real twin. I ripped the edge out and sent them for warranty and am still so sad I don't have those skis anymore.

Memories..... When I got these I thought I was such hot shit they were wonderful. I went from the space frame 1080s to these. Loved the shit out them. So much pop and really could hold speed. To think a 180 with 80 underfoot was a big ski at one pointe in time

I don't dare ski them as they have rotted away. But some day they will make a great bench
 
03/04 first run armadas. I was so about them I had a hoodie and Sammy Carlson gave me shit for wearing it and told me to ride 4frnt..

This was 04. He was on 4frnt. He also pegged a cop car with a snowball in govvy and the cop thought it was me. I didn't snitch. And he gave me some stickers...

Yep, late 2000s era Armada. The AR3s were some of my first park skis in like '06 or something. Excellent skis. Full sidewall on a kids park ski was pretty epic. At least I think it had a full sidewall...
