Armada Men's Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I size Armada men's ski jackets and pants?

  Measure your body (chest, sleeves, waist, hips, inseam) and compare to the brand size chart, since Armada uses a classic slightly looser fit with a shorter front length for mobility. If you plan heavy layering pick a size that accommodates base and mid layers; if you’re between sizes size for the layers you’ll most often wear and use adjustable hems/waist tabs for fine tuning.
• What materials and insulation technologies does Armada use for men's outerwear designed for wet, cold conditions?

  Armada outerwear commonly uses GORE-TEX® 3-layer constructions with a GORE® C-KNIT™ backer or 10K/10K membranes for waterproof/breathable protection and C6 DWR treatments that are PFOA/PFOS-free. Insulated pieces often feature 90% recycled polyfill (about 40g) and PrimaLoft® or Polartec® for warmth-to-weight, while Merino is used in base layers for natural moisture management and odor control.
• Which jacket features should I prioritize for freeride skiing versus park/pipe riding?

  For freeride look for a fully waterproof shell or insulated jacket with taped seams, a powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, CORDURA® reinforcements at shoulders and cuffs, and high-volume venting to manage exertion on long runs. For park/pipe prioritize mobility and breathability—stretchy or articulated cuts, strategic pit zips, reinforced cuffs and seams for rail abrasion, and slightly roomier fit for trick layering.
• How does the Bergs Insulated Jacket compare to the Vector Series™ shell?

  The Bergs Insulated Jacket is built as a warm, all-mountain insulated option using recycled polyfill and PrimaLoft® for on-snow warmth with integrated features like pockets and moderate venting. The Vector Series™ is a technical shell platform focused on hard-use protection, typically using 3-layer GORE-TEX® with a C-KNIT™ backer for superior waterproof/breathability and modular layering. Choose Bergs for cold conditions where built-in insulation matters and the Vector Series™ shell when you want a durable, breathable outer layer to customize insulation underneath.
• What technical features are most useful in Armada ski pants?

  Prioritize waterproofing and construction—10K/10K membranes or GORE-TEX® 3-layer fabrics with fully sealed seams—alongside CORDURA® ankle reinforcements and articulated knees for durability and mobility. Look for functional details like full-length or thigh venting, adjustable waist tabs, integrated gaiters or ankle gaiters, and reinforced cuffs; bib options are available if you want extra coverage for deep powder.
