Armada has achieved the next level of protection in the Armada Balfour GORE-TEX® Pro 3L Jacket. This bombproof number has a durable nylon face fabric and the most waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® membrane on the market!

Complete with a 4-way stretch powder skirt and Armada's vector hood, the Balfour is a top tier durable, high-performance ski shell.
Nylon
GORE-TEX® Pro [New Generation] – To meet the needs of team athletes, mountain guides and serious backcountry skiers, GORE-TEX® Pro is used to provide tough, extremely breathable, waterproof and windproof protection in the harshest conditions imaginable. The new generation of GORE-TEX® Pro is engineered specifically for the intense work/rest cycles of backcountry skiing by using a new membrane to efficiently regulate temperature and moisture during climbs and descents.
Microgrid Backer – This technology improves garment comfort and performance using an innovative patent pending internal backer fabric. The microgrid backer improves internal abrasion and snag resistance, allowing the jacket to easily slide over layers, while enhancing garment breathability and decreasing garment weight.
Tech Fit – An articulated cut to improve mobility when skiing and hiking. Slightly narrower at the hem and forearm.
Radio Optimized Sleeve Pocket
Extra Long, Two-Way, Water-Resistant Pit Vents
100% Seam Sealed with 13 mm GORE-SEAM® Tape – Waterproof fabric will not keep you dry by itself. In order to complete the waterproofing of a garment, the seams with stitching must be sealed with a waterproof tape.
RECCO® Avalanche Rescue System – RECCO® is an avalanche rescue system utilized worldwide to facilitate the rapid location of burials. The two parts - reflector and detector - enable rapid pinpointing using harmonic radar, but are NOT a substitute for transceiver use. Complementary in function, the RECCO® system increases the chance of being found in time.
YKK AQUAGUARD® Water Repellent Zippers – YKK's AQUAGUARD® Water Repellent Zippers are used to seal off garments from the elements.
Jacket-To-Pant Snap Interface – Armada's jacket-to-pant snap interface provides a simple connection between your jacket's powder skirt and your pants.
4-Way Stretch Powder Skirt
Lycra Wrist Gaiters – Stretch material next to skin to keep snow from sneaking in beyond the wrist.
Reinforced Extended Collar
Vector Hood System
Reactive hem with inner-pocket adjustment
