evo.com | Armada Skis > Well it's finally happened. The company known for making super fat freestyle skis has gone and make a made one for the ultralight tourists. The Armada Locator 88 Skis are are true volcano skis, as we call them in the PNW. They're crazy light, super nimble, and built to fly up the skin track. They eat kick turns for breakfast, and for lunch they feast on fresh corn snow. But these things are way more than just an uphill tool. After all, why fly up to the top if you can't have as much fun as possible flying back down to the bottom? These slim sticks are made with a sturdy flex, slightly tapered tips, and just a bit of tip rocker, so you can be hooting and hollering the whole way down, after you effortlessly glide the whole way up. Caruba Core Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight. Comp Series Base Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow. 1.7 Lightweight Edge Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. TI Binding Dampener Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, titanal, and finally more rubber works to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your bots and shortens your day. Ski bell to bell with extra damping provided. The Atomic Backland Tour Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are super lightweight, easy-to-use tech bindings for fast and light touring. Weighing in at less that 400 grams a pop, they're some of the lightest brake equipped touring bindings on the market. The heel tower and its mounting plate are burly and provide good power transfer, and most of all the binding tours exceptionally well, switching from hike to ski and shifting through riser settings with on-the-fly ease. Aluminum Alloy Base Plate and Toe Arms Wider 40mm Mount Pattern for Stability with Wider Skis Three Climbing Levels Three Climbing Levels - Flat, medium and high climbing levels are realized by flipping the appropriate pole-accessible lifter(s). We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 3 Release Value Options "Women," "Men," and "Expert" are available by swapping the included springs. | Armada Locator 88 Skis 2024 - 172 Package (172 cm) + 90 Bindings in Black Size 172/90 | Aluminum/Rubber
