Top Step Side Zip Ski Pants Once you get cold, it’s that much harder to warm up. Waterproof, breathable with Primaloft insulation, the Junior Top Step Side Zip Pant, like its adult counterpart, is the pant to end all zipper fumbling on bone chilling days. We know the agony of glovelessly defrosting your iced zippers while the blistering wind chaps your face. That’s why this pant features our 3/4 Step-Through™ construction design, which places the zipper just short of the waistband so you don’t have to try to connect the zipper at the top. To warm up without the hassle, just step right in and zip down. Like every product we make, this pant too has a story behind it. Geof, our founder, describes it as the worst ski day of his life. It was a cold, windy morning at Burke and he was trying to get his pants on over his suit and fumbling because he couldn’t get the snow-filled zippers to connect. It was freezing out, the wind was howling, and he was having to take his gloves off (instant frostbite) to try and put the zipper together, or as he describes it, "put his diaper on."Never again.
