If you’ve arrived at this page, you likely did so via our Gear Weekly newsletter—the first of 2013/14. And for those who did, you’ve officially been entered for a chance to win this kit from Faction.
It’s that time of year, folks—the Gear Weekly newsletter returns to the lineup, providing you a regular stream of badass skiing gear, in-depth reviews and outrageous product giveaways.
To kick off the 2013/14 program, we’ve teamed up with Faction to give away this rad-tastic kit, including a pair of Candide’s CT 4.0 skis (a Freeskier Editor’s Pick winner in the 2014 Buyer’s Guide), the Oxley jacket, Shackleton pant and Agent helmet.
One lucky winner will receive:
Candide Thovex CT 4.0 skis
“The CT 4.0 caters to playful skiers who spend their days on the prowl for deep pow. Complete with tip and tail rocker and flat camber, this beast is happiest when cutting through chop, charging down rowdy lines or popping off pillows. “A stable ski that likes to slice through the powder,” said one tester. Utilizing a balsa and flax core, the ski is very lightweight, even for its beefy size. “Makes you ski exactly like Candide!” said another tester. And while that’s quite honestly just not true—there’s no shame in pretending.” – Freeskier editors’ review
MSRP $1,099 | Lengths 175, 183, 190 | Dimensions 150/122/140
