the outerwear looks like shit and they came out with 3 new pow skis. How can that help their business. I think they fucked up.

discuss

 
I dunno I like some of their new GoreTex stuff ... I personally have never been a fan of the sub20 turn radius on their pow skis, but that's just what I think
 
Disagree, I think the new outerwear collection is on point, it looks way better then the 12/13 Anomie imo
 
Yeh for them GoreTex seemed like the next step in their tech outerwear, I like the way I can get a GoreTex Jacket without looking like a hemp bar chewing, seed munching teleskier.

Not hating on teleskiing, the few times I have done it it's been a blast
 
Hell it's much better then the 11/12 collection, and close if not tied with 10/11. Well done Armada, real stoked to pick up a Grounder crew and a vest
 
IMO that all looks pretty sick. Especially the fact that there shit is with Gore-Tex now. They have their outerwear in the right direction and I don't see any other companies doing anything more significant besides the basic pocket re-location and color ways. Plus Armada is making skis, poles, hoodies, gloves, beanies, hats, suspenders, backpacks, balaclavas, face tubes, layering, tech-hoodies, and probably more shit than I can't name off the top of my head. There's a few other companies that can encompass your whole set up for the season besides maybe Salomon and a few others. But how many of those companies have the same caliber of quality products? Give them a break. I'll probably be seeing a large portion of my home mountains park/pow skiers wearing that stuff next year. I am done here.
 
. They have had the worst outerwear selection every year. Absolutely terrible. Makes FD look decent as far as looks go.
 
YKK zippers and Gore-Tex fabric, I don't know "wtf" you're talking about... I hope you don't buy jackets for the soul purpose of how it looks.. It's like buying a Ferrari with a Honda engine. You're bitching about three new pow skis added to the line... Now you sound like an east coaster.

Just sayin'
 
I am convinced at each new ski will serve a very specific segment of the market perfectly. The Norwalk's will be a perfect Wasatch touring ski. I'm stoked.
 
I've never liked armadas outerwear. The fit is all.. weird.

But this years stuff i liked, for some reason.

The Requiem suit is dope.
 
I actually like some of the new outerwear. I think the graphics on the skis look horrible for next year though. They butchered the T-halls
 
I think this years line looks good, the Thall looks way better then last season, and the ar7 has the classic graphic. I want a pair so much as I sold my old arv's with that graphic.

And in response to why they have 3 new pow skis, well simply that is where the money is. Park is still a tiny demographic so they will make more money making skis which have a bigger market base, such as pow and backcountry skis.
 
did anyone find it weird that on the CR coat they didn't show the huge lion on the back. If i wasn't a donator i would have thought it was a plain green coat.
 
I like the pow skis, and ar7s dont really need work, outerwear looks good but like someone said, the fit is weird
 
hey don't be hating this years product line is great. Saw the magic j today while getting my thalls and thought. Armada should make a higher end wide park ski. As far as the out wear you've just got to find what works with each. I'm getting the couloir with fixed pant. Use their kit builder.
 
As with all companies every year I like some of the stuff and don't like some of it all personal preference can't really hate on graphics, colours or patterns cause some will like it and some won't
 
i argued with a guy in another thread about this. whats so special about another black jacket? if it didnt have his name on it you wouldnt pay any attention to it
 
I never said it was better because it has the name, i just think that for the most part Armada's stuff looks bad. The basicness of the jacket is what makes it good.
 
i think their goretex stuff looks awesome in person. Their techy jacket last year was pretty clean too. The colors got mellowed down this year as well which is nice. Id say they are taking large steps forward. Besides, that pro shell jacket is sick.
 
OP, Goretex and new pow skis? Wtf is wrong with that, sorry they don't have more cotton shit so you can jib rails in the rain. And bad mouthing teles? This thread is fucked
