You mean the Halo? And those just look like scratches, or is it the actually topsheet wrinkling?

care to share how you got those? it's the first pair i have seen on here.

but to answer your question, all you can do is contact armada, in which they will probably warranty it.

looks cosmetic. shouldn't make a difference to how they ski at all. I say if they start to delam or something, then talk to Armada.

i doubt it'll affect the ski at all unless those wrinkles go into the core, which it doesnt look like they do. I'd just ski then and if something happens then complain.

looks like an air bubble in the top sheet, if your really woried about it wait for armada to contact you, but it shouldnt have any affect on the riding

They should be fine, but it seems like there is a pretty good chance that crack/airbubble/whatever, may go to the core, and then your nose will snap off!!! YAy!!!!!

if they are a sample ski, i doubt they will replace them. its kinda like factory seconds and what not. it wasn't produced to be perfect, it was produced to just show the ski.

i could be wrong though
