Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

Beautiful fit, comfort. Exceptional quality. Great stability. Love this whole line. Have many of these, long, and mid calf.

These provide very good support. I log about 25 miles a week and on my long run day these are great. They are a little snug behind the knee. It would be nice if the material behind the knee was some kind of elastic.

I purchased the Medium and am 5'6" and 160 pounds. I ran a half marathon in them and found that I did have to stop a few times to pull them up at the crotch area so def go by the size chart. I am very pleased with them but if you need more support for your calves I would go for the latest model CW-X came out with that. Found I didn't get much support for my calves like I needed.

These pants are AMAZING! I've been struggling with knee problems for a long time and these have changed my workouts completely. I can finally run again. They're also very tight so they hold everything in and are not see through at all. In fact they act kind of like Spanx but are comfortable to wear. I feel like a new person in these! I'm 5'4" and have a thicker frame so I was worried about wearing something skin tight, but I think these actually make me look better. Do yourself a favor and get these. They really do put a spring in your step!

After having my second C-section, I really wanted to get back into running...but my belly felt like jelly, which made running rather uncomfortable! I decided to try these because of the core support, and I have been really pleased. They are tight but comfortable. Have worn and washed them about 10 times now, and they are great!

Great running tight! Really does work for those long runs I would normally be tired, but kept on going with these! Only complaint is that I'm not used to having such high waisted pants, but they work so I can deal with that part! I will be running the NYC marathon in these babies! I wish I could afford more!

I should have read the fine print in the description where it stated the inseam was 24". I'm 5'11", so no doubt on the tall side, but I can usually wear a regular size, & with compression pants, not really worried if they are a little short. These were ridiculously short. When I lined up the knee support over my knee, they reached half way down my calf and half way up my thigh. The picture is very misleading. The fabric is high quality and no doubt they provide compression - for shorter women. So disappointed.

These are the best compression pants! Great quality and fun design! I started wearing CW-X last summer while training and I will never run another race without them. They feel comfortable and you can really feel the support it gives from your core, hips, knees and calves. I highly recommend these pants and Zappos!

I have a tear in my meniscus, and since I have the needed training to help myself to keep on running without surgery. After much thought I decided to go and look for the best tights to support my knees and I found out that this CW-X was the best in the market to provide what I needed. They make different styles that fit different in order to provide relief and stability to people that have gone beyond the period in which their injury is fresh and in need of physical therapy and close care. This tight has helped me not only keep running, but also do that efficiently, without any pain or discomfort . CW-X is the best brand on the market in terms of fulfilling what the advertise.

I like these thights but within a year I noticed the crotch the starts to disintegrate and have to throw them away. So overall in the beginning it was vife stars and now just one. Ps don't know why the inserted a key pocket in the trousers. It to tight for a key. Rather have nothing.

They are great, it takes a while to get them on, and my impression is that they are for temperatures below 18C. My knees felt better indeed.

Pants are great, except that right above the knees is a decal (a grey permanent sticker) on the fabric that looks cheap and tacky. I'm replacing these with the Expert compression pants. FYI, I'm 165 lbs, 5'8", and I can fit comfortably into the size L (and there is still compression going on), or with a lot of squeezing a huffing I can fit into the size M.

These tights are amazing! Used them for skiing. Without them last year we were icing our knees. This year our legs felt great at the end of the day.

LOVE THESE! Did a 9 mile challenge course with these tights and they did a great job to help stabilize my knees. They did seem to slip down a little as the race progressed, but overall, they were great!

These pants are like magic! I'm training for my first half marathon and strained my left calf. I wear these pants on my long runs and feel like I could run forever. I have no pain or discomfort. They compress in all the right places. They are stylish and true to size. My only complaint is the the price. I'd buy 2 more pair of they were cheaper.

Love these! Great knee support and lower back support! Have bought 3 pair. As always great service from Zappos!

I have a bad hamstring and needed some true compression pants. These are terrific and I think have really made it possible for me to keep working out. Great support, and these leggings feel better the longer the workout goes. If you just want something shiny and stretchy to wear, you will find cheaper options that will do the job. But if you need true compression leggings, I do not think you will do better than these.

These fit great! Go with the size recommended on the chart. I was at the end part of the scale of the M scale and decided to go with it even thought I normally wear L. The fit is tight but not uncomfortable. They do help with soreness and I do not even feel them on when running. I will be buying more of these!

These tights are great! They fit very well and are very comfortable. Put them on like pantyhose - it gets easier after a few wearings and washings. The colors are also great; the rainbow colors are bright and make it easy to find a top that complements them. Always the excellent Zappos service, too. How do they do it?

I bought three pairs of CW-X tights several years ago and they are still in great shape. I look forward to cold weather (I live in Florida) so I can wear them and I always get asked about them. My legs feel great after a run and have run 5ks to marathons in them. This is a great product that is well worth the investment.

I'm 5"7", 134 lbs and the SM fit perfectly. I purchased the Stabilix and the Pro-tight, and although I ended up keeping the latter, the Stabilix is an excellent tight. I loved the extra comfort it provides to the knees an core. My only complaint is that is chaffed a bit behind the knees where the seams meet. I still think it gets 5-stars hands down, though. I'm a first time CW-X buyer and won't ever run in anything else. Love Zappos!

I coveted these pants for months, but wasn't sure I could justify the cost...boy, was I wrong! On a chilly 30deg day, I pried myself into them for a 6 mile tempo run. My goal was 11min/mile. Met that and exceeded with my first sub-ten mile ever. My legs felt great! Supported and free to move. I didn't want to take them off after. Try them you won't be disappointed. Height 5'7", Wt:142. Medium fit perfectly from just above ankles to just under belly button.

I think these tights have a great style and a great rainbow design, but I did not find them comfortable to wear and so I only kept the one pair. It may be that my legs are long and these just are not made in a length that is comfortable for me. I found the waistband to roll down while I was working out which was a constant distraction to me. I also felt as if the tights weighed a 100 pounds and the compression fit just was not for me. I bought them to train in as I thought they would protect my knees, but I just did not find them at all comfortable to wear.

These were recommended to me and they live up to the recommendation. They give the extra support I need for my knees while running.

I love these tights! This is my second pair, they are well worth the money for the serious runner. Great support in all the right places plus the seaming makes the most of your curves.
