Haven't heard many bad things about them, but then again haven't heard much in general. they don't seem to have much of a US presence, more so in canada, and much more in europe.

Some of their shapes seem promising, and I've always been a fan their graphics too.

I've demoed a couple of pairs and they are solid skis. Pretty light weight but fairly stiff. Good, fast bases. I've only heard good things about the durability too.

I've known several people on them, and the one thing that I hear from absolutely everyone is they are absolutely bombproof. They will not break on you.

I worked at a faction dealer last year, and put considerable amounts of time on the wednesdays, 3zeros, and royales. I'm a big guy at 6'2 220lbs and had no issues with durability whatsoever. I'm not easy on my skis either as I enjoy riding over snow as much as various metal, rocks, and other non snow objects. I've also spent some time on most skis in their line so let me know which skis you were interested in and I can give you a more in depth review.
