Agent 3 Sam Anthamatten
CHF 879.00
Built on the multiple award-winning Agent 3 platform, this limited-edition design honors Sam Anthamatten and the Faction team’s journey through the Altai in the latest Faction film “150 Hours from Home”. The base traces the terrain they climbed together, while braided riverbeds wind across the top sheet like the ancient networks they navigated.
It features a lightweight core, 106mm waist, progressive shape, high-tech carbon weave, balanced flex, and expertly engineered rocker. Just like the Agent 3, it is forgiving on the uphill and at home on the downhill faces. The Agent 3 Sam Anthamatten showcases the spirit of exploration: balanced, grounded and always curious.

product features
Lightweight Karuba Core
Karuba is a very lightweight wood core with excellent strength, offering superb flex and vibration absorption without added bulk. Ideal for touring skis, Karuba ensures top performance on both the uphill and downhill, making your skiing experience efficient and enjoyable in each phase.
Full Carbon Weave
Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the wood core. These are seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, boosting ski stability without adding bulk. Reap the benefits of strength & stiffness throughout the full length of your skis with minimal weight penalty.
Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
1% For The Planet
As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of all sales of our Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are committed to mitigating climate change.
Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.
XL 2.5mm Edges
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.
Full Strength Sidewall
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.
By A-Poll
Altai Mountains
Sam Anthamatten and Andrew Pollard traveled together through Mongolia's Altai Mountains by camel, jeep, and ski. The expedition gave them lines to chase through a landscape that demanded to be remembered. A-Poll turned this memory into art. This limited-edition Agent 3 carries the terrain they explored together. The base traces the shapes of the Altai they climbed together. On the top sheet, braided riverbeds wind across the surface like ancient roots connecting land and life, mirroring the natural networks they navigated through one of the world's most remote ranges.
Skis Size Guide
FIND YOUR SIZE WITH OUR EXPERT ADVICE VIDEO:
As explained in our video guide above, choosing the right ski length depends on a mix of different factors. On a basic level, height, weight and ability should give you a good idea of what length of ski you should go for.
As a rule of thumb, start with a ski around nose to eyebrow level height.
If you are just starting out, or at an intermediate level, then we suggest that you take some length off. If you’re a more advanced/expert skier, then we suggest you should push your ski length towards your full height or even further. If you are heavier than the average weight for your size, feel free to add some ski length as well.
