This is all speculation, but I believe Faction chooses low quality materials (inconsistent, not strength). They also probably have a very cheap manufacturing process. This is all to say that the design of the skis is probably just fine. It's the decisions made by leadership to lower costs that affect the brand's durabilty image. They would probably fix the issues if it truly cost them money, so that leads me to believe it is cheaper for them to simply have a good warranty system. This can only be possible with lots of cost cutting elsewhere.
That's why I believe Faction's issues are caused by poor material selection and/or cheap manufacturing techniques.
