What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"A storm dumped over a foot the night before a trip out west, and by mid morning most of the obvious lines were already tracked out. This board kept finding speed in spots that should have bogged down, and by the last run I was hunting for the untouched pockets everyone else had skied past."
Powder days rarely go according to plan, and that's exactly where the Sicko Snowboard from Armada does its best work. It doesn't care much for the marked trail, favoring instead whatever line looks most alive that morning, whether that's a pocket of trees nobody's touched yet or a runout that drops faster than it looks. Riding it feels less like following the mountain and more like negotiating with it.
Underneath that attitude sits real engineering. A tapered directional shape shifts extra volume forward, so the nose stays up and surfy even when the snow gets deep and heavy. Bamboosters wake up the Pop-Lownia core with sharp, responsive snap, while a Triax/Biax glass blend keeps the board torsionally solid without going stiff and lifeless underfoot. When a landing comes in rougher than planned, Titanal Impact Plates under the bindings soak up the hit instead of sending it straight to your knees, and a sintered base keeps the speed coming no matter how many traverses stand between you and the next pitch.

What Skiing Will Become
Founded in the 2000s, Armada was created by a generation of skiers who wanted to redefine the sport. Two decades later, Armada still builds products that reflect the freedom and fun of modern skiing.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a length for the Armada Sicko Snowboard - 2027?
Use rider weight as your primary guide: the 152cm suits 100–160 lb, the 157cm suits 130–190 lb, and the 160cm suits 150–210 lb. Height can help choose between adjacent lengths, while a shorter option favors maneuverability and a longer option favors stability.When should I choose a wide Sicko instead of a regular width?
The Sicko comes in 158cm wide with a 264mm waist and 162cm wide with a 266mm waist. These wider sizes suit riders whose larger boots would create excessive toe or heel overhang on the regular-width options.How does the Sicko’s rocker/camber profile perform across resort and powder conditions?
Its Traditional Camber supports edge hold and power, while Early Rise Rocker in the nose helps with turn initiation and powder float. The tapered directional shape and 20mm setback favor carving and freeride lines over symmetrical switch riding.What construction gives the Armada Sicko its mix of response and board feel?
The Pop-Lownia Bamboo Core pairs with a Triax/Biax Blend Glass layup for lively response with some playful flex. Bamboosters carbon stringers and Titanal Impact Plates reinforce the construction for charging; the board has a medium-stiff flex around 7/10.What boots and bindings fit the Armada Sicko Snowboard - 2027?
It works with standard adult snowboard boots and bindings using conventional insert patterns; choose binding size to match your boots and set stance width and angles to your riding preference. Approximate boot fit guidance spans US men’s 8–10 and 10–12, with the 158cm wide’s 264mm waist and 162cm wide’s 266mm waist offering more room for larger boots.
