Armada Tracer Jacket - Men's - 2010 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Detail Views
Armada designed the Men's Tracer Jacket for serious all-weather skiing. DryRex 3-layer waterproof breathable fabric takes care of moisture from inside and out to keep you dry and comfortable all season. Riri AQUAzip waterproof zippers ensure that water can't get in where most jackets have a glaring weak spot, and the Recco avalanche safety device gives you an added element of safety that doesn't require batteries.
Bottom Line: You'll flash past people like a bright bullet in the jungle.

Ok so the only jackets left are XL. I really want this jacket
Ok so the only jackets left are XL. I really want this jacket and would an extra large still be useable if im 6 foot 160 ibs and still will grow a bit. Im alright with a baggier fit but since im a park skier i need some maneuverability. Whats your opinion?

Im wanting to buy this jacket but I have some concerns/questions. Im 16 years old, 6 foot 160 ibs starting to bulk out. Im looking for a jacket for next year as it's on sale now. I want a little baggy, what size should i get?

Sebastian,
A large will probably fit you for a good long while, considering the fit is really loose to begin with. If you pull it out of the box and are still worried that it's not going to fit next year, send it back and get the next size up, no problem. BC.com is really good about returns on sizing issues and have the best customer service I've encountered on the interweb.
Happy trails!

I've put in lots of days on this jacket so far this season. We've received more snowfall (and you bet it's wet) than baker has seen since the record year. Wore it through a storm cycle of over 200 inches, dry every day without fail. Did a full 8 hour day in the ski area in the pouring rain doing patrol work yesterday and was as dry as everyone else in their expensive arc'teryx coats. Armada has their heads on right. I would buy this coat again in a heartbeat. Lightweight, waterproof, and super steezy. Perfect weight for touring, allowing you to choose the layering options.

Hey Ben Zonon, I hate to ask the same question. But I'm 5'10'' I'd rather have the large so it'd be a nice normal fit. But the XL is the only available. So the question is would you feel/look like a douche if you had the XL? I don't mind baggy fits, but when they're like dresses I think it just looks stupid.

Ian could you speak on how tall you are, what size you wear, and how the Armada jackets (the tracer specifically) fits i.e. technical vs. baggy. I'm 5'10" and prefer a pretty baggy/long fit but am concerned about the width more then anything being a slim fella. Thanks.

I have this jacket as well...I'm 5'11 and also slim and have the large and I think thats perfect. It's long enough but not too baggy width wise...If you really want a baggy fit then you should probably go with XL but it sounds like L would be perfect
Hey, I'm seriously considering buying this jacket. Looks
Hey, I'm seriously considering buying this jacket. Looks sweet and from all the feedback I'm reading here it does the job as well. Couple of questions though:
- I've noticed almost every pic I find of this jacket has a different spray pattern on it. Is every Tracer jacket in spray unique to its spray pattern or are there 4 or 5 different types and it's pot luck which you get?
- I'm 6'2", athletic build, not fat, not skinny, what size do people recommend?

the colors are always the same, as for the pattern moving around on the jacket, i am not sure. but it always looks like spray paint and its always orange, lime green, purple, and black. I am 6'2 and about 210, but not fat, and i got XXL. Peep my pic, it doesnt fit me super gangster but its long enough to cover my butt.

So I moved to the west coast and mainly ski tahoe and occasionally oregon. I bought the galactic coat, which is the same thing but previous years model. I rode on mt hood in some of the stickiest snow I've ever seen(coming from dry Colorado powder). This thing kept me so dry and looked way cooler than anyone could ever look(mostly because I was shredding in it). Its about time a ski company made a colorful shell that does what its supposed to do.
Thanks armada.
Is this jacket a shell, or more of a warmish jacket? Also,

This is a 3 layer shell. No insulation at all. Why would you want it without recco?

This is one nasty beast of a jacket..... Being from Mt Hood Oregon, I am all about waterproof gear, I don't even mess with mid level fabrics. Armada is on the cutting edge of jacket technology, the construction is bombproof and water PROOF. Riri Aquazip is the best zipper I've ever used on any jacket, and is truly waterproof. This jacket is decked out in aquazips, there is not a single detail overlooked. The colors are the bees knees too, like Ian said you'll get more pop! People always stop and stare like "why doesn't my North Face look so sick?!".....simply put......because its not as sick! I owned the Galactic Jacket last year, and this jacket is definitely a step up in technology, and a step down in price. Really, Armada is KILLING IT with their outerwear, I am going to be a loyal customer for life if they keep putting out this level of product. And for sizing.......I'm 6'2 and 210lbs.....I went with XXL, and its baggy, but not so huge that my knees are swimmin in it. Basically its a perfect fit for someone who likes some steeze but doesn't want somethin so big they can't do backcountry and AT skiing in it. Get yourself a pair of JJ's and a Tracer jacket and you'll instantly slay it harder, thats just a fact.
Hey, Just wanting to know who has tried this jacket on in person.
Hey,
Just wanting to know who has tried this jacket on in person. All the features are great, atleast on the prototypes we had in Haines last winter. Does the sizing on the production models run huge like some of their other jackets? I am 5'6 145lbs and wear a small Burton Ak jacket. I would switch to this one though if it would fit!?

Most of their jackets generally run larger than other brands. keep that in mind. A small armada jacket will be larger than a small AK jacket, thats for sure.

Hey guys I was wondering if it was a zip in compatability with the destroyer pant and if I got the tracer in an xl and the destroyer pant in a large would it line up correctly.. Didn't know if the zippers were universal or custome per size.. Thanks

no zipper on the powder skirt. It attaches with button snaps, and it seems that every jacket is compatible with every pant.
