style, quality, durability, functionality. The Armada Galactic jacket is on point. If you are tired of the same old colors and styles from all the other technical brands out there, try this one. You no longer have to sacrifice quality and technicality for style as this jacket has it all!

This jacket is near impenetrable. No wind, no snow, no rain. I went with the black, looks great, and the bright-white zipper gives it some style. It has a pretty nice cut, and little baggy but that's always a good thing. This is the perfect shell, event technology really is the new gortex except much more breathable. Another good idea was to have the pit zips on the chest instead of under the arms, makes it easier to do while hiking and lets more air circulate through you. It's pretty warm too, most of the days all I have is a softshell hoodie underneath, and then an insulator if it gets a little chilly. Great shell jacket!

It's important to start out with a moisture wicking base layer (patagonia capalene works great). On days that are warmer than 35 degrees F, this is all you will need. On colder days, I will also wear a fleece pullover and possibly a down sweater if it gets really cold. Remember to be flexible, and adjust your layering depending on the weather. DON'T USE COTTON AS YOUR FIRST LAYER!!!

I have tried on many technical shells in my time. If you are looking for style, quality, and durability, this jacket takes the cake. The galactic pattern is one of the coolest, eye catching patterns I have seen. Most importantly, whether it's snowing or raining, you can count on the eVENT membrane to keep you bone dry.

Exactly. Layering is key with this jacket. It blocks wind extremely well, so if you have on the right layer/s underneath you will always stay warm.

Like how many? seems if i do too many there will be no venting and a waste of money on some sick tech.Can i get away with a wool 260 icebreaker top and bottom with jacket shell and pant? Just the two together...

Just trying to size myself out to get this jacket. I am wondering what size jacket you have and your height? I am 5'9" and was thinking a large, would that be too big?

for layering, it depends on the temperature really. Sometimes I would just wear a t-shirt underneath and be fine. On the coldest days I would wear a base layer and a fleece. Its only a waste of money if you DON't wear the right stuff underneath. That means wearing breathable layers, NO COTTON. Choose your layers wisely.
Klye, Im 6' and I wear the XXL. I don't think a large would be too big for you. It depends on if you like a baggy or tight fit.

This is the best ski jacket I've ever owned. Spent a whole night in NH in the rain and didnt have a problem. Nicely cut, big enough but not too big and it has some powder sleeves with thumb holes that I thought were annoying at first put grew to like. Sizing...Im 6'3", 215lbs and I find the XL to fit great. I dont like my stuff huge though...Not into the crazy colors so I went with black...but hey, thats just me.
Amazing

Well it could be the greatest jacket on earth. When you are wearing it, there is absolutely no chance of water getting to you. I'm 5' 11'' and the large fits a bit baggy which is great. The galactic color is very eye catching and I have gotten many compliments on it. Not only is this jacket very waterproof, but it is a great windbreaker. Although it is a shell, I have worn nothing but a tee shirt underneath and have stayed warm but that was on days where it was 25 and up. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a high performance shell.

It's just like a high end ArcTeryx or North Face, but it looks way cooler. I am a gear snob and was hesitant to go with Armada, but the construction looked as good as anything on the market and the print sold me. I already wore it in the rain and will get it out on the slopes as soon as I can hike for some freshies!

Arcteryx is a great company with solid gore-tex gear no doubt. I see armada, and anyone else using eVent for that matter, starting to give them a run for their money. I have worn goretex for years and bottom line - eVent is a superior material. You cannot get around that. Armada is speaking to a completely different style, and if you get the gear from BC you get the unlimited warranty anyways.

NO where near Arc'Teryx quality & guarantee... although the mpressive use of eVent fabric makes there top line of outwear worth a try this season!
Change me.
