Agent 3 Ski blends lightweight touring efficiency with freeride power and stability
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Agent 3 is my go-to when I want one ski that can handle long tours without punishing me on the descent. The Karuba core keeps it feather-light on the skintrack, and the carbon weave adds enough backbone that I can charge through variable snow or float powder without hesitation. It’s honestly the most balanced touring ski I’ve used."
We know the perfect ski doesn’t just climb—it charges. The Faction Agent 3 Ski is designed to strike that balance between uphill efficiency and downhill power, making it one of the most versatile touring skis on the market. With its 106mm waist, progressive freeride shape, and balanced rocker profile, it floats through deep powder, pivots with ease in tight spots, and holds a confident edge when the conditions turn firm.
At its core, lightweight Karuba wood provides the ideal blend of low weight and natural flex, while full-length carbon weaving adds strength and stability without unnecessary bulk. The Mustache Flex pattern ensures smooth turn initiation and vibration absorption, giving us confidence whether linking turns in backcountry bowls or navigating variable spring snow. Finished with Faction’s commitment to sustainability—including 1% for the Planet contributions and eco-conscious construction—the Agent 3 is a touring ski we can trust to take us anywhere, in any condition, season after season.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works

Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive 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.

Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
