Armada Locator 88 Ski
Built with the up and down in mind, the Locator 88 from Armada has turned into a surprise favorite here at Skimo Co. While not the lightest 88mm ski around, the Locator is far from heavy, much to the delight of weary legs on an epic day. Compared to other mountaineering skis, the Locator features low camber and an approachable flex pattern, allowing you to ski the ski instead of the other way around. The Ti Binding Dampener helps with binding retention while also smoothing over vibrations in rough snow. To keep the skins centered and behaving, the Locator 88 features Armada's AR Bat Tail design, ensuring the tail clip doesn't obnoxiously slide off the side of the tail. With a fun and versatile shape, the Armada Locator 88 is an excellent horse to add to your stable.
- EST All Mountain Rocker allows the Locator 88 to have excellent all-around mannerisms.
- Caruba Core keeps things light, allowing you to move quickly and efficiently.
- 1.7mm Lightweight Edge finds the balance between weight savings and durability.
- Comp Series Base is durable and will help fend off errant rock strikes.
- Ti Binding Dampener helps absorb vibration and keep the bindings securely attached to your ski.
- AR Bat Tail helps keep the tail clip centered and on your ski.
