Mountain Hardwear's Synchro Pants offer superior weather resistance in a sleek technical package. Conduit Soft Shell fabric holds wind and water on the outside and warmth on the inside.
Mountain Hardwear applies its Conduit waterproof breathable membrane to the Men's Synchro Pant, a hardworking softshell, for dryness on the inside and out. The smooth nylon surface repels wind, rain, sticks, and stones, while the brushed polyester interior provides moisture management and warmth. Wear these durable pants when you backcountry ski or alpine climb. The Synchro's fit allows for layering without being baggy, and a two-way fly makes answering nature's call when you're in a harness easier. Exterior seams are taped for water-resistance, and pockets have water-resistant zippers.
The true test of any product is once it is out in the field, and the Mountain Hardwear Synchro Pant for A+. Just read what ski mountaineer Andrew McLean had to say:

Great skiing pants | |
| Rating: | |
I have used the Synchro pants for two years now, telemarking in a range of conditions and environments. From skinning and powder skiing in the Alps to slushy spring skiing by Norwegian fjords. The Synchros are really great pants and almost perfect for any condition and most days. They keep water and wind out better than I expected from a softshell. They are quite warm so most winter days skiing, I use only a thin base layer. I really like the possibility to ventilate while hiking and the Synchros' 3/4 zips allow that easily. The fit is good when I have a belt to keep them up, slim but wide enough to allow knee pads without any problem. I really love them and they are my first choice most days doing winter activities. But, there are some things that could be improved. Firstly as I use the Synchros mainly for skiing I really would like to have internal gaiters instead of a silly draw chord when hiking in deep snow; secondly the outer material chafe a bit from wear of backpacks and my jackets' internal draw chords; thirdly the embroidered Mountain Hardwear logo on the leg is not taped on the inside and makes them not water proof on that patch, which can be quite annoying on days sitting in the lift when it is drizzling rain. //Johan | |

Best Pants! | |
| Rating: | |
| These are by far the best and most versatile pants I have. I wear these - and just these - on a morning training hike up Mailbox or on a climb of Rainier. On Rainier etc. I will supplement with an outer shell pant for additional protection from the elements if necessary, but I am not sure it is necessary. The pants fit well, if a little long. But I have that issue with all of my pants (I'm 5'8"). They are more than comfortable and seem to handle just about anything I have thrown at them. If you are glissading on hard icy snow, I would wear the shell pants over the top to protect these. They keep you quite warm when necessary and open on the sides - from the top so the snow stays out- when it gets warm. I wear these pants everywhere! Two things that might help are and integrated belt and a 'stay' that holds the cinch cords at the ankles. If there is one annoyance with these pants it is that cord that flops about your feet. Maybe they have fixed that this year... | |

Fantastic fabric | |
| Rating: | |
| -Maybe it`s my skinny European bottom that don`t fit US sizes, but the sizing here is way off. My M fit more like an L/XL, so go down a size if your proportions are of the "athletic kind" -The fabric is fantastic, both stretch and completely waterproof, just remeber to glue that inseam with seamsealer on the outside. "will protect against all but the most full-on downpours" -with seamsealer on the seams that haven`t been taped it will protect against full downpours, we receive 6 feet/year of rain so I know what I`m talking about.. The finishing is a bit poor regarding the elastic around the ancles, glued parts loosen. Since they have instep patches they are obviously not meant to be worn with gaiters, so they could have come with a brass hook and an under feet elastic band. A slightly higher waist in the back, reinforcements on the knees, and attachments for braces would have justified this as the Ultimate alpine pant. A bit too hot for the warmer season. Overall a good job by MH, this fabric is fantastic compared to other Soft Shells I`ve tried | |

Awesome BC ski pant | |
| Rating: |  |
I've got about 100 days on a pair and have taken them into a variety of conditions from 55 degree really hot days to -20F. Go linerless on a really hot day and a simple wool liner for anything from 35 to 0F and you'll be fine, wind and snow or none. 3/4 length zip (all the way to the bottom) is great and they are such incredibly light pants. Fit's not good for shorter wider people or if your thighs are like tree trunks. The only wear in these pants after 100 days of use is as follows: the three layers at the cuffs (brushed lining, conduit, and exterior shell) are separating and the lining has worn holes from being sandwiched and rubbed between my boot lace hooks and snowboard bindings. Oh yeah, and a zipper handle on the vent zipper popped off. After 100 days of resort and backcountry boarding, that's pretty awesome I'd say. These things are still waterproof and windproof as they are when I bought them new, though quicker to get damp since I haven't refreshed the DWR in a while. | |

Great Pant | |
| Rating: | |
Used these in the rain all day hiking in the Adirondacks and made my peak bagger buds jealous as these thing were shedding the water and held up great as we bushwacked through the tight pines. Breathed well, as I was never warm or cold going up or down wearing just these on my legs in 45 degree weather. Only reason they don't come with a 5 rating is that they don't come with an integrated belt. They do have belt loops, and I ended up making one. I've since used them skiing and the legs never seemed too warm or too cold, wearing long underwear under them. As for the fit, from reading others posts, I think it's one of those things where they either fit your body type or don't. Get them early enough before your next trip so you can get something else if they don't work for you. | |

waterproof softshells | |
| Rating: | |
| These are some of the most waterproof softshells that I have tried. I have used them while doing everything from snowshoeing to ice-climbing to downhill skiing and even in wet, Washington snow, I have stayed warm and relatively dry. The only problem is that often if I am climbing or snowshoeing I will overheat and have to open up the sidezips, which kind of limits your ability to keep the wet snow out. I still wear these ice climbing to skiing on cold days but for high output activities, I have a pair of arcteryx gamma LT's which seem to help me regulate my temperature much better. Also, in places where I have rubbed these pants on ice/rocks/snow, I have noticed that the pants are showing some signs of wear. But, then again, I am pretty hard on gear. | |

Lap pants +++ | |
| Rating: | |
| These replaced my bagged-out Paty Guide pants for my daily ski wear... Now I'm glad I bought these for a deal on Altrec (cheers!) I was worried MH pant fit (previous unsatisfying experience) and about breathability - for both resort laps & skinning - & couldn't be happier: the side zips slide easy & do the job no prob. Full on water protection. Another upside is that they look better than most bc pants, so I'm not looking like I'm expedition-bound when just riding the lifts. Good pocket placements. Downside: no gaiters for powder forays. Fit: generous length & waist - ceratinly more roomy than the Synchro jacket - but works for layering/coverage. I'm 6'1" / 185 lbs., the L fits well slightly belted with a layer under. Recommended, except for the deep stuff. | |

Bib Version | |
| Rating: | |
The synchro fabric is perfect for backcountry skiing. It breathes well enough (there are huge vents if necessary) and is as waterproof as anything I've used. Water beads off - end of story. Durability seems pretty good and you can't deny that the exterior taping looks sharp. I'm 5'8, 140 lbs, usually a 30-31" waist. I got the small and it's slim but not skin-tight, just the fit I was looking for. All things considered I highly recommend these pants (bibs) and can't think of a single complaint. Just remember to zip up the vents at the top - waterproof/breathable fabric doesn't mean much when snow is pouring in the side of the pants. | |

Good Stuff! | |
| Rating: | |
Have to say, these softshell pants pretty much do the job! I have stayed warm in freezing temps, without any thermal under layer. Water resistance is good. The only negative for me is the fact that there is no built in belt, there are loops but those can be a pain in the...! Sizing is good in the leg (I'm a standard medium - 32/32) but the waist is slightly larger than the expected 32...again, the built in belt would have helped this problem. Overall though, well worth the money! | |

Awesome BC Pant | |
| Rating: | |
I've used these pants at the resort twice and just got back from a three-day hut trip with days spent yo-yoing above and through tree-line. I used the Arc'Teryx mid-weight boot-length underwear alone under these pants in temps between 32 and 0 degrees F. They were awesome - stayed up well with a full pack on, using only a belt. Fit is great, cut is perfect for making tele turns. Highly recommended! | |

Disappointing fit | |
| Rating: |  |
The sizing is not very generous. I'm a 34 waist and the mediums were way too small. A friend - typically size small - fit into these mediums perfectly. To echo another reviewer, you'd think they'd be loose in the thigh, hip, but (for mobility) and a snug in the waist to keep 'em up. Bummer for fat, old me. | |

Could be better. | |
| Rating: |  |
The conduit laminate seems to breathe very well, and the fabric has a good feel - flexible, lightweight, yet durable. Also, the non-elastic waist is a nice feature. But, the cut of the pants is too short for me, and the waist is large for the size. Also, the crampon patch at the ankle is very stiff, fitting poorly under gaiters. The crotch is not gusseted and the knees are not articulated. I'm not sure what Mountain Hardwear had in mind when they designed these pants, but they are better suited for wearing to the mall than to the mountains. | |

Oddball fit | |
| Rating: | |
I like the pants except for two aspects. First, the fit is oddly tight in the thigh, hip, and crotch area. I say odd because the waist fits fine -- actually a teeny bit loose. The other aspect I dislike is the absence of ankle gaiters -- they would really make for a more versatile set of pants if they were included. | |
