{"product_id":"2027-armada-antimatter-75-women-s-skis-ra0000898","title":"2027 Armada Antimatter 75 Women's Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt for women who'd rather carve than cruise, the Armada AntiMatter 75 W is a narrow, energetic frontside ski with a softer flex than its men's counterpart. It pairs a poplar wood core and a titanal laminate with a short sidecut and a mostly cambered rocker profile. The ski bends into a turn easily and then rebounds out of it with real snap, so linking arcs down a groomer feels effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmada softened the flex for the women's version instead of just changing the graphics, and you feel it the moment you tip it on edge. It still has enough metal to hold on firm mornings, which makes it a genuinely fun everyday carver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWomen at an intermediate to advanced level who spend most of their time on trail and want to sharpen their carving. A lighter skier moving up from a soft entry-level ski will appreciate how easily it bends, while a confident carver will enjoy how quickly it moves from one edge to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the flex: Armada rates the AntiMatter 75 W at 6 out of 10, a full point softer overall than the men's ski, with the tip noticeably softer than the waist and tail. That makes it easier to bend into a carve at moderate speeds without giving up the grip that the titanal laminate provides. The sidecut is tight, with a 13 meter radius at the 160cm length (123mm tip, 75mm waist, 107mm tail), and it gets shorter as the ski does, down to 10.8 meters at 144cm. Underneath, a poplar core keeps the ride smooth and predictable. The All-Mountain Rocker profile adds a little early rise in the tip and keeps the tail flatter for a clean, powerful finish. AR100 sidewalls, a heat-treated All Mountain Edge and the carbon-infused Comp Series Base round out a build that's simple, durable and tuned for hard snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a 75mm waist, this ski belongs on groomed and firm snow; it will feel out of place in deep powder or heavy crud. Women looking for more float or off-trail versatility have the AntiMatter 82 W and 88 W in the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your usual length; the AntiMatter 75 W sizes true. Drop a size if you want quicker, tighter turns, or go up one if you ski faster and want a longer, more stable platform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armada","offers":[{"title":"152","offer_id":67776207683880,"sku":"RA0000898|152","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-armada-antimatter-75-women-s-skis-ra0000898-1-ra0000898.jpg?v=1793908233","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-armada-antimatter-75-women-s-skis-ra0000898","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
