The biggest topic of the 2025-2026 ARMADA SKI season is said to be the full model change of Henrik Harlaut's signature model "EDOLLO." The form has been changed to a slimmer shape, and it has evolved even further, but what exactly is it?
Henrik and EDOLLO
Henrik Harlaut is undoubtedly a legend in the freeski world, and his brilliant achievements are unique. He won a total of 13 medals at X Games, including eight gold medals. In particular, at the 2013 X Games Aspen Big Air, the first successful "Nose Butter Triple Cork 1620" was made a name for the first time in human history, leaving a name in history.
Henrik has continued to dramatically evolve the freestyle scene with tricks that are different from anyone else's and that no one would have predicted, and one thing that has always been with him is the professional model ``EDOLLO'', which ARMADA has been working on since 2015.
Reflecting Henrik's free-spirited and creative riding style and high technical demands, the skis have been extremely popular with skiers, with a particular emphasis on performance in parks and on the street. While retaining the soft flex and playful ride it has inherited, for the 2025-2026 season the waist has been increased from 98mm to 91mm, creating a new appeal and effect on the ski's performance.
Waist 91mm! What does that mean?

The 2025-2026 season's EDOLLO 91 has a narrower waist width, down from 98mm to 91mm. What effect does this have on the gliding performance and feel?
- The flex is even softer!
The "EDOLLO91" uses a Henrik sidewall called "W3DGEWALL". Instead of the full sidewall from the top to tail like before, it has been changed to a short sidewall that is only concentrated on the feet. This makes the flex point, which is closer to the toe piece, where skis tend to be bent, bring out the flex and softer, making it easier to butter and play than ever before. This seems to be the most important point.
・Improved operability due to lighter weight
The skis are lighter overall thanks to a slimmer 91mm waist, resulting in significantly more responsive skis underfoot, which means smoother edge-to-edge transitions and improved control.
・The swing weight has been lighter
Additionally, the slimmerness makes the swing weight lighter. You will feel a change when you play tricks and when you need balance. Furthermore, the slimmed waist also strengthens the edge grip on hard burn, providing smooth and stable sliding.
