CW-X PerformX™ Tight SKU: #7429883

CW-X Performx Tight - I was worried about the sizing of these tights -- my height and weight fell in the XS range of the size chart but the chart was RIGHT! I am 5' 1" and about 118 lbs and the XS fits perfect. No sagging around the knees. This is the first time that I tried CW-X tights but have heard good things about the product. I don't know if they really support my legs as much as the manufacturer says that they do, but they have been very comfortable to run in. So far, my longest run with them has been 10 miles. I'm curious about the winter version and if I see it on sale wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Great tight, love them! Don't put them in the dryer on high like me!

Fit for fitness - Running a 5k race in January I stained my hamstring. Having read testimonials about the CW-X tights I tried them for my next 5k just two weeks later. With these compression tights, despite chilly weather, I ran easily almost pain free to a 2nd place finish in my age group. CW-X lives up to their claim of support and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for that extra edge.

Running pants - I love these pants! They’re not quite the same as the other pair I own, but I do like these.

Great buy! Absolutely worth every penny! These were my first pair of CWX pants. I wore them on my first 10K race of the season this morning. The weather was horrible, rain and wind, but it didn't matter. My rheumatory arthritis of 10 years didn't even bother me at all, all thanks to these wonderful pants! The joint support for the knees were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend these to anyone. I'm about 5'4" and the small fits perfect. Great buy.

Excellent and Worth the Money - I was hesitant to order these tights when I saw the price, but the other reviews were so positive that I thought I'd give them a try. I ordered a pair according to the size chart, and when I put them on (boy were they snug), I felt totally supported, had an AWESOME run, and no soreness the next day. I've since ordered three more pairs. Yes, they are expensive, but my run (and recovery) is much improved.

I love these tights. I didn\'t think they would make that much difference, but they really do help. My legs feel lighter, or something like that, especially when I\'m going uphill. The fit is, of course, very snug, and they take a few extra minutes to get on so all the webbing is on right. I have had a little rubbing from one inside seam, but Body Glide is my friend, so it works out. Overall, even though these pants are costly, I think you will get your money\'s worth if you are a serious runner.

These were my first pair of running tights. I am new to running in the evening and in the cold so I wanted something to keep me warm. \r\n\r\nI love the way these tights keep everything in place.

These tights are awesome. Perfect for long runs. They definitely compress your legs, initially if feels like a little too much squeeze but when you are running you forget you have them on. Amazingly, I have not had as much leg soreness since I started using them.

These are amazing! I just ran the Las Vegas Rock n' Roll Marathon in 35 degree weather and they kept me comfy and warm the whole entire race. I was skeptical, because usually after marathons I'm sore for days. Amazingly, my legs felt great and I wasn't doing the post marathon shuffle! I even could wear high heels the next day! How do they do it? I have little to no soreness! I am truly amazed!

These tights would be great if they did not have a center seam in the crotch. After about 6 miles (on 3 different 1/2 marathons) the seam became more and more noticeable.

These are great compression tights. Just completed a full marathon with them - have always run in shorts before - and I was back in the gym doing cardio the next day! Trust the size chart though - I got SM (5’, 112 lbs) and had to get another pair of XS as the Smalls were too big - gave them to a friend!

These CW-X pants are great! I did get a medium when the size chart recommended a small for me, even though I normally wear small running/workout pants, because I tried them on at a store first, and they were extremely tight, which is the point of the compression tights, but too tight for my liking. They are great for indoor or outdoor activities, even in the cold (I was good in 27 degree weather running). They sag a little in the crotch, but just make sure to hike them up. I’m shorter, so that could have an effect. My roommate is taller, and they come up a little higher from the ankle on her.

Purchased these for long runs. They are very fitted. Offers good support during my run. Not to warm but felt good on 20 degree morning. Wish they were all black as the curves aren't flattering in my opinion, but they are more functional than fashionable. No gusset making underwear a must. Key pocket is open on top, no flap, but tights are so tight that risk of losing key is very small.

Purchased these for long runs. Very fitted. Offers lot of support. Wish they were solid black as the waves make my thighs look huge. More functional than fashionable. No gusset so I wear boyshorts under. Not too warm but were warm enough on a 20 degree morning.

The CW-X PreformX Tights are a must-have for any runners' wardrobe. Anyone looking for a great compression pant will not be disappointed. The fit is tight - as expected - but my legs, hips, and calves have felt so much better since running in these tights. There is absolutely no chaffing; no problems on my 20 mile run. The waist hits just below the belly button and you will need to use the drawstring to keep them in place. The bottom hits just above the ankle. Great quality and worth the price. I am 5'4" and 120 training for a marathon. Size small was perfect. I just received CW-X compression shorts for my warmer weather runs and they are awesome if you are looking for a warmer weather alternative.

I LOVE THESE TIGHTS! Maybe it’s a coincidence, but the first time I wore them, I got a PR on my front squat, by like 20 pounds! These REALLY help keep things in line. I never thought a pair of tights would make a difference with my workouts, but these really do! Yes, these are expensive, but they are worth every penny. And if you don’t like them, Zappos has the best return policy ever! Try them - pretty sure you will be ordering a 2nd or 3rd pair!

First pair of compression tights I've ever bought and I think they're great especially for the great price. I wore them for a Mud Run and they were perfect since they are so tight and dry quickly. They seem to keep my leg muscles from cramping which is why I bought them.
