Introducing the Faction Agent ski range

The Agent range is the result of a unique collaborative approach within the Faction Collective, bringing together engineers, designers, and athletes around a shared passion for the mountains and innovation. Together, they have created touring skis that not only meet skiers' performance expectations but exceed them.

Each ski in the Agent range has been meticulously designed to offer exceptional versatility, allowing skiers to tackle various terrains with confidence. Agent skis incorporate advanced technologies such as ultralight cores, improving manoeuvrability and making every descent smoother and every climb less tiring.

The unique design of each model reflects Faction's bold spirit, inspired by both the brand's alpine roots and the commitment of the skiers who put them to the test. By choosing an Agent ski, you're opting for equipment that has been designed for excellence, built to perform, and made to last.

Efficient on the climb, epic on the descent

Agent skis are designed to excel both during climbs and descents. This is achieved through a meticulous balance between lightness and stability, making these skis exceptionally versatile and suited to a variety of environments and snow conditions. If your goal is to tackle steep, powder-filled slopes, there’s no doubt you’ll find the right ski for you in the Agent series.

The wider models excel in powder, offering excellent float that allows skiers to maximise their speed without sacrificing manoeuvrability. Meanwhile, the narrower, lighter models incorporate carbon fibre into their construction, ensuring fast climbs and impressive responsiveness on steep faces.

Each Agent ski cleverly combines a traditional camber with rocker, allowing for smooth transitions between high-speed turns and agile manoeuvres. This setup lets you fully unleash your skiing style, whether you prefer straight, fast lines or weaving between natural obstacles.

Faction Agent skis are an ideal choice for skiers who are weight-conscious and enjoy alternating between groomed runs and backcountry adventures. This versatility makes these skis essential for those seeking uncompromising performance.

An eco-friendly approach

In an industry often criticised for its environmental impact, Faction has taken steps in recent years to minimise its footprint. The Agent range, dedicated to ski touring where respect for nature is paramount, follows this ethos. To create it, Faction uses locally sourced wood, significantly reducing CO2 emissions from transportation. This timber come from sustainably managed forests and is FSC certified, ensuring responsible forestry practices.

Continuing its sustainability efforts, Faction also incorporates recycled materials into the manufacturing process of its skis, minimising its impact without compromising quality or performance. During production, waste from composite materials and manufacturing excesses are collected and reused.

The Agent skis are assembled in a cutting-edge factory powered by renewable energy, further reducing the carbon footprint of each ski produced. In addition, Faction donates 1% of the profits from ski sales to the 1% For the Planet organisation, contributing to global initiatives to combat climate change and preserve ecosystems.

A wide range of sizes

In 2023, Faction revamped its Agent range by offering a greater range of sizes, recognising the importance of precise fit to optimise performance and comfort. The 179 cm Agent 2 model was replaced by two models at 177 cm and 182 cm. The Agent 3 also evolved into two models at 178 cm and 183 cm. These adjustments meet the specific needs of each skier, significantly enhancing the user experience. A slightly shorter or longer ski affects manoeuvrability and response, influencing how it performs in different snow conditions. These options allow skiers to choose the model that best suits their skiing style and goals, whether for efficient climbs or daring descents.

With the Agent skis, Faction continues to demonstrate its commitment to improving and satisfying ski touring enthusiasts. By offering these different sizes, the brand ensures that everyone can get the most out of each mountain outing.

Agent X: the women's freetouring range

The Agent X series is specially designed for women seeking ski touring equipment tailored to their specific needs. While sharing the same features as the men's models, the Agent X skis stand out with a design that reflects dynamism and diversity.

This range is designed to offer a smooth skiing experience to women. These skis are built for excellent manoeuvrability and maximum support, regardless of snow conditions. Their lightweight construction makes climbs easier without compromising the stability and confidence needed for challenging descents.

While the Agent X allows women to express their style while benefiting from cutting-edge technology, they are not only functional but also a means of expression for female skiers who seek to push their limits. Every detail is carefully crafted to allow passionate freetouring skiers to challenge themselves while staying true to their tastes.

Which Agent to choose: the 1, 2, or 3?

  • The Faction Agent 1 is an excellent choice for ski tourers who want to be fast on the climb and are looking for a high-performance lightweight ski. Its top-quality construction and unidirectional shape, combined with a modern touch, make it a ski capable of delivering reliable and enjoyable performance in a variety of conditions. Its reasonable waist width (86 mm) makes it a dependable ally, comfortable on varying snow conditions. It is suitable for skiers of different levels, designed for intermediate to expert skiers.
  • The Faction Agent 2 is midway between the Agents 1 and 3. With 96 mm underfoot, it is the most versatile of the range. Capable of following you everywhere, from groomers to steep chutes, and through the glades, it’s a true all-rounder. Designed for those who want a lightweight option for climbs but don’t want to compromise on skiing performance. It's our favourite.
  • Finally, the Faction Agent 3 is the ultimate freetouring ski. With 106 mm underfoot and a dynamic flex, it provides great float in powder without feeling like you’re lugging dead weight when skinning.

Wondering who founded the Faction brand?
