CW-X Reviews
These are true compression tights and do exactly what they claim to do unlike less expensive versions that I also own. I am training for a marathon and I can definitely feel a difference in less muscle fatigue and recovery time if I wear these on my long training days. Less "jiggle" when running as the tights keep everything in place. I tend to get a bit hot in them but they wick well. Some mesh at the back of the knees might help - hint hint! Take some getting used to wiggling into them but gets easier as you figure it out. A bit expensive but so worth it! I'm worth it and so are you!
I'm a 36C and was looking for a sports bra that was supportive and wouldn't give me a uniboob. This bra is it - it actually has separate molded cups, and I think the hook closure in the back makes it easier to put on than pulling it over your chest. The lining keeps headlights in check but can cause some creasing under your shirt.

These tights don't have near the support of their other lines and are very expensive. They are lighter and cooler, however. Not worth the extra money unless you need some support for running in hot weather.

If you are looking for maximum support, these are for you. The material is very thick but the ventilation in the front does help, especially if there is a breeze. I ran in the mid 70's with low humidity and was fine. I think it would be uncomfortable to wear them in extreme heat, though. Watch out for size. I am 5'7" and 150 pounds. I got a size large and would not go any smaller.
My third pair, absolutely the best thing around for walking or running. They wear forever. Although I fall between sizes on the chart, I get a perfect fit with Medium every time.
I chose to buy these tights after purchasing the CW-X full length cold weather tights. They eliminate the pains I had been experiencing when I ran in my hips and knees. I am a forever fan of their products and will purchase more items again.
Great shorts for running and other sports. I use them on colder days to stay a little warmer and plan on using them on long runs. I'm 5'9 and 160lbs so I was between a small and medium. Got Medium and the fit is great. the bottom of the short stops just above my knee. top quality fabrics, not just yoga pants material. The look is very sharp also. I am going to purchase the long pants from CW-X if I start running in weather that's below 50 degrees. Highly recommend these.
Bought after I had a rough 15 mile run, have only run once; 6mile. Great support for the lower legs and don't feel restrictive! Shouldn't be used to mask muscle weakness or imbalances; taking care of that will be more beneficial. Nonetheless very satisfied.
These tights make my outdoor experiences more rewarding. I use them for backpacking, hiking and biking. I initially chose them to help me overcome sore knees on backpacking trips. All the pull-on and wrap-around supports I'd tried did not help. With the CW-X Pro tights, I find that I have relief from downhill impact stress. At the end of the day, my overall energy level is still high.
These fit great and work great and are comfortable. I like that they are specifically for the right foot/left foot, it makes for a good fit.
Zappos always delivers so quickly! I like the CW-X. They offer excellent support. When putting these on you will feel like you are putting on a wet suit, but once you get them on and get them adjusted you will feel amazing. I have large calves and the capri style is a little tight around that area. If you need support for the knees, the IT band, glutes or hammies, these are the pants for you.
Comfortable, great quality, but most important, wonderful support. I use in all but the very hottest weather. As an older runner, over 60, these tights have really helped me improve my longer runs (10 miles and up), with minimal soreness and quicker recovery.Highly recommend!
I love these tights. I am 5'8", 140 lbs and none too firm and these tights completely smooth me out and make my legs feel firm. A little like putting on a wet suit but once on, very comfortable. I ordered a medium and they are perfect. Also ordered pairs in the 3/4 length.
I am 135lb 5'5'' and was between SM and MD in the sizing chart. I got both sizes and the SM was the best fit. These tights hit right in the middle of the calf and not as the picture shown but I am looking for knee support and these are fantastic.I think I might get the full length for full calf support later for the winter
I love these compression capris! I highly recommend them for anyone running longer distances. They helped support my muscles through the run, and my recovery seemed to be better post run. The size chart recommended a small for me, but it did not work, and I ended up getting a medium which was surprising because I am 5ft tall and 125lbs. Zappos was wonderful about the exchange, as always.
I have been a treadmill runner for years and decided to get outside and train for a half marathon. Early on in my training, I noticed some weakness in my left leg and mild IT band pain. These pants have helped on both accounts. I jokingly refer to them as my bionic pants. I ordered the Large even though I fit squarely in the Medium size range. The large was difficult to get on the first time, but now I think they have stretched out a bit and the effectiveness of the pants has decreased. I'm thinking the Med would have been a better pick in the long run.
The best hundred bucks I've ever spent. I have knee pain and with these pants I minimize the pain during workouts. I also bought another pair slightly cheaper and slightly less compression. So you get what you pay for. I will buy a few more pairs.
