The new Armada ARG 2 UL

I always wanted them to make the ARG2 lighter

And now the new version weigh 500g less each ski.

Seriously thinking of picking them up.

Anyone looked at them? Tried them yet?
 
Haven't tried these yet but would really like to. It's great to see a reverse/reverse ski out there still being made, and now coming in at a pretty touring-friendly weight.

Our review of the normal ARG II might be of value to you. The UL version should be easier to drag uphill and quicker to flick around on the way down, but potentially less damp and composed in variable snow (which was never the ARG's strength anyway, but whatever).
 
I love my zero series ARGs. Set up with cast. They are insane in powder and yeah, would probably be even better with a lighter weight in pow. Highly recommend, wish I had the Ul version but hey. Very nimble even at their weight

Do you think they would be as versitile as my 2012 hellbents? Cause they can shred anything. Except ice. Powderz groomers and all else

Versatility is not the goal of the ARG. Being a reverse-camber, reverse-sidecut ski, it’s very pow-specific. The ARG II was weird at first but eventually survivable on groomers and cat tracks. It’s a tool intended for deep powder, and if you’re hoping for a wide ski that still does well on skied-out snow, I’d look elsewhere.

Well I already have the Whitewalker 121, so adding the ARG || UL would be just for the hell of it :D
