This year, I had one resolution and it was to step out of my confort zone. So after k2, armada, and line I decided to try faction. One of my friends was running the prodigy 3.0 2020 and they seemed to be quite durable, tho he wasn't a park rats like me and specialy wasn't a big rail guy.

These are the best ski pants ever… and you’ll prove it!
