yeah i have ar5's too, armada is sick but i think their design has quite a flaw. They try to make the sidewalls the same as most snowboards are, this results in massive gouges in your sidewalls. They need to make them more like the salomon skis, salomon has like a ski specific sidewall that is bulletproof.

once the topsheet gets fucked up it just leads to other things, like the different layers getting soggy, and your edges ripping out man. So yeah im sure he will buy new skis

I've got some cityscape AR5s that are doing that on the tip of one ski, the topsheet is just peeling up in one solid piece. I dunno, it sounds worse than it is, I'm just gonna slap on some epoxy.

yeah i've heard salomons have crappy construction. But the way there sidewalls are built, are way better then armadas sidewalls. Salomons dont chip as easy
