CW-X Expert Tight SKU: #7306803

from Portland, OR

Helping my knees - These are great. They keep my knees stable and support my legs and back. Have really cut down on soreness in my knees and shins. These work by compression which means they're skin tight. Therefore, they look absurd. Wish they'd make them in a matte fabric. Looking like a dork, though, is a small price to pay for positives.

CR-X Expert tights - I work out and do a lot of cardio. These have been my favorite tights. The waist is comfortable and stays put, unlike the low-rise Nike tights that I have. They breathe well and move well...overall, they feel great on!

Addictive - I have been using CW-X tights for over two years. I do strenuous mountain and trail running and these have saved my knees and gluts. The excellent knee stabilizing effect of the sewn in taping is noticeable on street runs as well. I really will not run without them anymore, even when the summer temps soar because I'd rather be a little hot then give up the support. (They do breathe pretty well.) These tights are that good. They are like shock absorber/ struts for your legs. My only complaints are minor: the waist ties come unraveled unless you heat the end to seal them, and the label inside is annoying. (I cut mine out.)

CW-X's Expert Tight - I just love the tight so much. It fit me perfectly. It definitely felt differently wearing this tight compared with regular running pants. Not only looking slim, feeling slim too. The most important thing, when running, you feel very light, won't get fatigue quickly, so you can run longer. After the run, you won't feel much sore muscle. I've already recommended it my Sunday running buddies who also love distance runs. It's pricy though, but it's worth it. Think about it, you don't need to buy it as often as running shoes.

Runner's Best Friend - I do mountain trail, street and treadmill running. I now wear the CW-X tights exclusively-even during the summer months. They really support the knees and feel like 'shock absorbers'. The stress of foot landing is somehow transferred up and around the leg muscles and buttocks evenly. Be sure to put them on according to the directions for them to be effective though. I have recommended them to many runner and cyclist friends- and strangers who ask what I am wearing! Every person who has tried them loves them. They are a bit pricey, but worth the tag.

CW-X tight - The tights are great - worth the money. Feel sooo good. Wash great. They do tend to slide down a little at the knee, probably because I am 5' 2". Don't hesitate to purchase. Zappos was super fast on shipping.

Tight tights - I'd been told that the CW-X tights were a great tool for supporting the knees while exercising and running. Moreover, the position of the seams and fabrics seems to fulfill that function. The tights are snug and supportive. My one complaint is a personal one. I am quite tall (5'8" with long legs) and the Small tights (which are the correct size for my weight -- and I didn't want to order a Medium because I want the tights to be *tight*) are an inch or so shorter than I'd like them to be. The position of the knee on the tights aligns with my own knee, so I get the support where it's supposed to go, but the length isn't optimal for me. Otherwise, it's a great product.

CW-X's Expert Tights - These tights are super compressing. Difficult to position "X " directly over knee where support is needed most. Little wicking properties. I think they'd be best for a very long-legged, thin person; both of which I am not.
