Short Pant Paradox 2024
Freeride Skis - Unisex -
60 days to change your mindThe Short Pant Paradox is a freeride ski from the Armada brand from the Zero Series range for experienced skiers.
Developed in collaboration with the brand's riders and engineers, this range offers skis with exceptional performance, quality materials and innovative shapes.
The Short Pant Paradox has the particularity of being aimed at smaller skiers who want a powerful ski to send the most beautiful curves down steep slopes. With a 112mm skate and generous sidecut, it floats above the snow with ease. The EST Freeride front rocker and tapered tip shape further increase lift on deep snow, while the standard camber and heel provide ideal edge hold in harder snow. The design and lighter weight of the tip and tail make it easier to initiate fast turns, but the ski is also more forgiving to avoid snagging at high speeds when freeriding.
A caruba wood core lightens the ski while retaining its stability and power. Its 2.1 mm edges protect it effectively for ever more durability over time. Its construction and rigidity have been chosen so that you can push back your limits in the best possible conditions.
The Short Pant Paradox is a perfect ski for freeride, big mountain. It's aimed at men, women and teenagers who want a ski with enough power and lift to take them all over the mountain!

Construction:
Caruba core : Caruba is the lightest of the woods we use to make our cores. It offers the best climbing sensations, while retaining the power and vibration absorption needed to descend through the most challenging terrain. It makes no concessions in terms of performance, despite its quest for weight savings.
EST Freeride Rocker : The rocker on the front of the ski and the tapered shape of the tip combine perfectly to provide optimum flotation in powder. The positive camber under the foot without rocker in the heel ensures perfect edge hold, so you can stay firmly in place during sessions where carving is the priority.
Technologies:
2.1 All mountain edges : Heat-treated and designed to avoid adding too much weight while remaining durable, these edges offer the best compromise between durability and feel.
Comp Series sole : This sliced sole is optimised to offer maximum speed, resistance and wax retention.
Ar100 Songs : The sidewalls cover 100% of the length of the ski to ensure maximum torsional rigidity for optimum carving performance.
Spatule Pin et talon Smear :Unique tip and heel designs for fast curve release, less snagging and reduced tip weight.
Le Short Pant Paradox est le ski freeride accessible aux petits gabarits. Puissant, il est aussi très à l'aise dans la neige profonde et les pentes raides. Vous pouvez envoyer sur les terrains les plus techniques, le ski ne bronche pas et répond présent quand il le faut!
Les Plus : Puissance, stabilité et portance en neige fraîche.
Les Moins : Il faut tout de même des cuisses pour l'exploiter à 100%.
