My 12 year old is growing so the men’s small was a perfect fit, a belt and a little length don’t bother him at all.

Good pant

This is a great design and fit. Previous versions of it do breakdown and wear out easier than hoped and the button at the top has broken twice. I’m hopeful this version will hold up better.

So far so good

The top step pant is comfortable and reasonably warm. I'm 6'2" 170lbs wearing a large and could use one more inch of length, but otherwise the fit is good. Fabric has worn well so far, but I've only had a handful of days in them, and only one session in gates.

Great all purpose ski pant

My son loves his new Top Step Pants, they are easy to get on and off at the start, warm on the chair lift and they fit perfect. He is 5'6, 138 and wears a size small.

Hey George! Great to hear the pants are perfect and your son likes the 3/4 zipper which really makes it easier to get on and off!

Nice fit!

I was looking for side zips and they are getting harder to find. I tried several other pants and the Sync just fit right and had plenty of warmth.

Tough stuff

These waterproof pants are at least 10 times tougher than the two other pants I have from other companies. Zero signs of wear on cuffs after two years of heavy use. Cannot say that about my other pants

Top Step, Top Shelf!

The Top Step pants are some of the best side zip pants I’ve owned. Easy on/off over boots. Warm and comfortable in 12 degrees, snow and wind with a medium layer underneath. Great material. Fit is perfect for me, love Sync’s performance fit. At 5’7” and 135lbs the inseam is spot on for a men’s small. I would buy again and will purchase another color. Nice job Team Sync!

Great stuff

his is the second pair of Top Step ski pants for me. I was originally attracted to them because of the almost full length zipper up the side of the leg. This is important for me in that an old injury makes it necessary to swap a walking prosthesis for a ski prosthesis at the mountain. I’ve got other ski pants but they don’t provide for the ease of access that the Top Step makes possible. The side zipper makes the swap super easy and quick. I was also pleased that I didn’t have to make any compromises in the quality of the pant. Solid build and with all the features one would wish for such as enough pockets, enough insulation, enough comfort and enough style. I’ve got two pair now and hoping the Top Step pant remains in the Sync catalog as it’s my go to ski pant. Five stars!

Very Nice Ski Pants

Full side zip ski pants are harder to find these days than when I bought my old pair over 20 years ago and I was happy to find these on line. Only worn a few times, but to date seem to be very well made. The fit is very good (LX - short, I think anyway). Not necessarily after high ski fashion, but they do look nice as well. The thin-ish layer of insulation is perfect and has let me use lighter weight, and more comfortable, long underwear.

Second Pair of Top Step Side Zip Pants

Needed a pair of blue pants and just like my original pair... these Rock!! Comfortable, Warm and extremely forgiving. Perfect for any day out on the mountains. Worn them both in Sub Zero and 40 degree days - they work well in both. Again - thanks Geoff and team!

Not worth the price.

Not worth the price. Average performance for $270.00. Next time our team needs items, we will avoid SYNC.

Men's Top Step Side Zip Ski Pant

My 15 year old son (Men's Large) thought these side zip pants fit true to size and were of great quality. The step in zipper function will be a great feature on cold race days.

Love these top step pants!

What a great idea for a side zip pant. No more fooling with getting the zipper started while your hands freeze. They are warn and comfortable, keep me dry on a wet day and fit great.

Hi Ron!

Thanks for your review! We couldn't agree more that fumbling with your zipper on a cold day is the absolute worst but we don't have to worry about that anymore do we!
