Faction Agent 1.0 2023

Looking for a light and fast but not wimpy touring ski for those long days (or weeks) on the skin track? Join the club. Check out the Faction Agent 1.0 Skis, designed and used by the Faction crew in and around Verbier, where the immensity of the terrain and the vast number of options boggles the mind. As with the other Agent skis, the 1.0 uses a Karuba core with carbon weave and sidewalls everywhere but at the tip and tail. This ski doesn't win the lightweight sweepstakes in the 85mm waist class, but it just may be the best downhill option for extended touring.
