Armada ARV vs Armada Magic J
Skis comparison — 2012-2013 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Armada ARV leans more all mountain, while the Armada Magic J leans more powder. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Armada ARV has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Armada Magic J uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).
