I'm looking at getting some Prodigy 1.0s, but am worried about the durability cus of Faction's reputation. Does anyone have experience with the prodigy 1.0s from the new factory?

Their durability is mediocre compared to other brands of the same price point, but their warranty program hooks it up

The prodigy’s are just as durable as any other ski, the Candides are known for blowing up hence the bad rap that faction gets. For what it’s worth, I have a pair of Candide 1.0s from 5 years ago that are still perfect, no edge or base damage and they’re my daily’s. My CT 3.0s are new this year so I don’t have as many days in them but they are showing no signs of wear at all

My '19-20 Prodigy 1.0s are holding up fine, but the previous model did for me too. I'm a big fan of that ski.
