Hi guys, im looking at some new skis at the moment. i am 6ft 2 and weigh around 89kg and i currently ride the faction candide 1.0 182cm.
i am looking for a new set to ride exclusively park on. i am torn between going with the factions again or switching to the Volkl revolts 185, or the armada edollos (if so should i go 178 or 188 on these).
any imput on this would be appreciated as i dont really know what to go for.
cheers

From these options go for Revolts. I've been rocking revolts for two seasons now. I can list some pros and cons about em. First pros. They are pretty light, they are good for park and also for the powder, they have pretty fuckin good flexibility. And now for the cons. They are not so durable. Atleast in my use they dont last long. But out of all these options u have, Revolts are the best one to go with. Nowadays u cant get durable skis from these big companies u know. They are all made in china by poor little kids.

Hope this helped u :)

Edollos are pretty much the same as the ar7 but mixed with k2 poachers.
Yeah thats sounds weird but they are not so special. Ive skied like 2 times with edollos

I love my dollos. They're pretty light for being a bigger ski, and so far I'm halfway through the season with no major chips or edge cracks! My buddy has revolts, and they seem good, just a little more stiff and less rocker than the edollos. If you want a solid ski go for the revolts, but if you want something smeary in the tip and firm in the back go for the dollos

Faction 1.0 for sure. True twin and symmetrical. New top sheet is way more durable too

Edollo all the way. If you buy directly from Armada, it comes with a bag of hash.
