Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

I love these tights. Since I purchased them, I have not wanted to run in anything else. I feel completely supported through my quads, hamstrings and knees. An unexpected benefit is that these tights are like a sports bra for your rear end - no bouncing! I have a bit of a saddlebag, and had no idea how much better it would feel to run without things "moving." Yes, they look tiny coming out of the package, but they do actually fit. I am 5'11" and weigh 165 and bought the medium. I have not experienced a problem with fit even though I am so tall; perhaps the inseam is a bit short, but the knees fit where they are supposed to. I can't say enough good things! Highly recommend!

These are a staple in my running wardrobe - they have improved my recovery time. Super fast service from Zappos, even in the middle of the Christmas season.

I purchased my first CW-X tights to help me run my first marathon, hoping it will compensate my lack of training. It fits very tight but not uncomfortably, and I believe it gave me the support I needed to cross that finish line. Shipping from Zappos was very fast, too.

I love these pants; good for cool mornings and colder evenings. At least Texas cold...lol. My knees did not feel sore the day after a half marathon. Will eventually buy a second pair, when I save some $$. I usually buy my workout gear off the clearance racks. Do recommend these running pants, just a little high.

Love them! I bought a 3/4 length pair for a half marathon this summer and fell in love. I bought these knowing I had a marathon at the end of October. Normally after 26.2 miles the next day I am a little sore. Not this time. I will not run in anything other type of pants. They really do what they claim!

I was embarrassed to wear these things. I run regularly and have been increasing mileage so have been dealing with some chaffing. I read reviews on these and was skeptical bit thought , if nothing else it would help with chafing. Well getting them on was an athletic event all on its own. I'm 39, it wasn't pretty. But having them on felt amazing. I ran 9 miles in them and felt awesome. They didn't make me feel overheated but I have not tried them in serious heat. They are great for fall.

Love these pants!!! Great support for the lower back and knees. It does everything it claims to do. For the runners out there, this is a must have!

These are amazing pants. I wore them in a race that was 85 degrees, and I didn't over heat. They are supposed to be really tight! Helped my knees a lot!

CW-X Stabilyx Tight are great running pants! They feel great and I really think they improved my time in races. I just wish they were a little longer for me, I have long legs, and I would like for them to be passed my ankles. But over all great length for other people less than 5'11.

I have 4 CWX-tights; these, the insulated winter tights, CWX shorts, and the Capri Stabilyx tights., I love them all--I wear them on runs that are 10 miles and longer. I need the compression because of various muscle/tendon/knee joint issues. I wore these tights last week during a long 20 mile race along the seacoast of New Hampshire. The tights provided just the right amount of compression and coverage. My legs never got hot or cold--despite the consistent 10-15 mph headwinds and crosswinds. The material is thick enough to cover up the fat on my 46-year old legs which are far less than perfect despite my constant running! I highly recommend these for long-distance runners looking to keep swelling down and miles up.

Just got back from a ski vacation and what a difference these tights made. Skied all day and never had “shaky legs” from over exertion. I have my husband convinced that he will have to get a pair for next year. Worth every dime!

These tights are comfortable but didn't keep my legs as warm as I had hoped.

Interesting idea, poorly executed. It is an interesting idea to combine muscular/joint support in a tight. CW-X falls short IMHO in two respects. First the "support" is far short of that need to actually provide protection for knees. It feels good, but that's as far as it goes. Second, if you are over 6 f eet tall and athletically built the tights are several inches too short. Clearly a Tall size is needed, but alas, that would have cost CW-X a few dollars. If you're short, they might work for you, but don't expect any real support.

I really like the tights, the only thing I would mention is that the size chart is off a little bit. According to the chart, I should wear a medium, but it was too small. So if you are right between 2 sizes, you might want to order the larger size if you have thicker legs like me. All in all, great product!

Great tights! Provides excellent support and comfort.

These tights are the best! I bought two pairs so that I always have a clean pair between washes. I have knee problems and these tights definitely help with support. I wear them for all activities. Running, biking, walking, stretching, weight lifting. I even wore them as long johns for skiing. Great buy.

Super fast shipping and product was as advertised. I am currently training for marathon and had started developing knee pain. These tights are so comfortable and the knee pain is now gone. My initial plan was to only wear them for long-runs and race day but my legs feel so much better with them on that I have started wearing them for all of my runs. I even leave them on for an extra hour or so after a 18+ mile run. This seems to help with decreasing the muscle soreness that I would typically have the next day. It would be nice if the tights provided a little compression around the calf muscles but I have rather scrawny legs and I am sure that calf compression is perfect for the average person.

This product is really good. I highly recommend it. It is a bit tricky to align the lines around knees and IT band but once you do they make a difference. You are not as sore the next day after a long run since they move the lactic acid from your body, the compression is comfortable yet noticeable. Expensive but worth it.

Great for stability during my run and recovery post run. The sizing chart from the manufacturer is accurate and very important for the tights to fit properly. If they don\'t fit properly the support bands won\'t line up correctly. Great investment.

I was so excited about running in my new tights. When I received them I noted how small they were. I looked in the back to see the recommended height/weight requirement and I am 5'6" 147 lbs. Well within the size medium. I do have quite an athletic build so I have calves and quads. These pants are not comfortable on me at all. I am still wearing them waiting to break them or be wowed by them and it is not happening. Very disappointed.

These are the best running tights I\'ve ever worn. I run outdoors quite a bit, they provide great support. I\'ve tried other tights, close in price but they were not as zippy to run in. Worth the price!

These are my second pair of CW-X Stabilyx tights. I love these things. They keep you warm and your legs feel great after running. I will never buy anything else. I swear by them. They need to fit you like pantyhose. Pretty tight and that is how you put them on, too. Just like a pair of pantyhose. You should not be able to grab extra material. You should have just enough to pull on to get them up your legs.

These tights are awesome. Definitely worth the investment! I was having some knee pain, but the webbing support has put an end to those problems. My pace and distance increased with the added support, and I am completely satisfied. Next time I might try the capri length, since it is so hot here in Atlanta.

Love these tights! I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing these tights all winter, and have actually been complimented on them more than once. Being 5'10" and 130 pounds I was hesitant about the recommended size MEDIUM, but they work well for me - Large was way too big.

Tights - These are wonderful--as supportive as claimed and I just walk in them. I think I'll also order the insulated ones for colder days, because these definitely aren't warm enough to walk in in winter, but they fit nicely under sweats!
