Customer Reviews CW-X Endurance Pro Tight

Compression pants are magic. Once past the humbling moment of stuffing yourself into tiny pants, they become the most supportive and light thing you will ever wear. Literally, my legs tingle when I wear them, and I've already dropped a minute/mile from my 10K time. The Pro Tights were my first foray - I bought every CW-X model from Zappos (thank you free returns) and found the Pros to be the best for me. Unlike the other models, they have a cross both at the knee and behind the hamstrings, which provides amazing support on hills. I also liked the stiffer fabric which made them feel less prone to snagging. Buying even one pair was a big investment, but I'm so glad I did!

CW-X makes the best compression tights - hands down! Others I have tried do not compare and it eliminates the need for CEPs socks if you wear the full tight. Yes, they are challenging to squeeze into, but honestly only takes less than 30 seconds to achieve success. I run 1/2 & full marathons and love wearing the full tight for my muscles. I went with the Pro Tight this time (I have shorts & ventilator styles) because my lower back gets sore in my last mile or two on my long runs, this tight has seriously helped those muscles with the additional support in that area. Highly recommend these for the serious runner!

Fantastic! Suffered with knee issues for years. Two weeks wearing these knee issues gone. I always run in them now.

I have mixed feelings about these tights. On the one hand, you should know that they are very lightweight and breathable - great for summers, but I bought them for autumn/early winter in Minnesota and they are too breathable below 30 degrees. I already have heavy, winter weight tights, but I thought these would work for that "in-between time." I also don't know that I like the compression part. I have suffered knee pain and hip pain off and on for the past two years of running, so I thought these would offer the support I need to avoid further strain. But the compression on the waist and hip actually aggravates my hip flexor. Also, I ran a half marathon in these a few weeks ago and experienced a feeling of blood pooling in my feet (?!) - as if they were restricting blood flow rather than improving it. All in all, they probably are a good product for some people but I'm not sure that compression tights are really right for my needs. I'll probably pull them out again in the spring time after my hip heals to see if they are better in warmer weather.

Great product for long runs. My legs warm up more quickly and I feel lighter at the beginning of my run. They tend to slide down a little until I get sweaty and stay put when I hike them up. I'm 5'4" and 145 lbs. I ordered woman's medium and it's a good fit. A little chafing with the crotch seam, but nothing a little body glide won't fix. I ran 19 miles that day, some chafing can be expected.

Greatest Running Tights Ever - Ok, so it's only the second pair I've ever tried...but these are so wonderful, I don't need to try any others. They compress just enough to keep the blood flowing in your legs...but not too tight, still very comfortable. You never realize how hard your lower body is working until it doesn't have to; these pants prevent a lot of fatigue your lower body experiences during running. I ran farther, faster and longer than ever before the first time I wore them! A word on fit, I am 5'10", 150 lbs, well within the weight for medium, but way over the height. Get the fit for the weight. I got both a LG and MD, the LG fit height, but the MD provides better compression and therefore fatigue relief. But, you have to tie the drawstring pretty snugly to prevent the pants from slipping down a bit, other than that, they are wonderful. Also, you don't get overheated in them either.

These tights are wonderful! I haven't used them to run yet, but they have been awesome for mountain biking. I did 16 miles today, and my legs feel great!! Love the brand, will definitely buy more!

The pants are very tight yet surprisingly, amazingly comfortable. They really do keep you very dry after an intense workout.

I absolutely love these tights. They are the first running tights I have owned. They definitely alleviate fatigue and next day soreness. My legs feel a little bouncier and springier as soon as I put them on. I plan on buying the ventilator version in the spring since it gets so hot where I live.

I own 7 pairs of CW-X tights, Insulators, Ventilators, Pro, Expert, and shorts too, along with their tops. Nothing out there is better made as of yet. As to the web helping with fatigue, not sure it really does that or not. Have run long distances with and without them and can't really tell a difference. Buy them for cold weather running...They are simply the best...

These are the best brand of running tights that I've experienced. They are great quality, even after wearing and washing over and over. They keep warm (into the teens) and also provide support where needed. I was concerned about the price at first, but these will last for many years! You won't regret it.

Love the feel of these tights but they are too short. I'm 5'10" with normal proportions and the large isn't long enough. They are fitted and specialized, nothing is wrong with them; I realize that every product can't be created to fit all body types. If CW-X had a larger size for me I would fear that the tightness would be compromised.

I am an avid runner and compete in many road and trail races. The CW-X Pro Tight helps me from cramping during a long run. The support is amazing and it's good looking too. You feel like a superhero. I highly recommend it!

These pants do a great job keeping me warm during long runs. I have worn in half marathon, full marathon, and 10 mile training runs in California in Nov-Dec. They are difficult to get on, but that is the price you have to pay for the muscle support. I was between sizes XS and S (5'2" and 120lbs) and went with the XS. They are a bit tight in the waist, but otherwise fit great. They look much better than the other full tights I have tried on--more flattering.

Great support for running. My knees don't feel as much impact and the tights give great muscle support. Don't expect to toss these on in two seconds; it's more like putting on your little sister's wetsuit.

This is my third pair of CWX tights. I love them all. They really do provide a lot of support to your legs, and core muscles. Definitely a "must have" if you are a serious, or not so serious of a runner. Great item!!

I love CWX products, and these tights are especially wonderful for long or hilly runs. The level of support really helps to stave off fatigue, as well as hamstring and glute soreness. I can't possibly run without CWX anymore. It would just be silly not to take advantage of the benefits these products offer to training.

These tights are amazing. I have been on hiatus from running for over a year and I saw these tights and that they reduce fatigue and all about what they claim and let me tell you, they are not kidding. I have started running again, outside and have been wearing them for my runs for 2 weeks now and I am already up to 4.5 miles in that short of time and have no aches and pains. They really do what they say! They are tight yet comfy. You feel like you can run farther. I am hoping that I will be able to wear them in the summer with the Las Vegas heat! I will never run without them. If you like to run, you must buy these. They are worth every penny.

I will never be without these tights. I love them so much, I bought the capri and shorts as well. I am recovering from a torn hamstring, and these tights give me the support and compression I need so I can resume my training without pain. As an added bonus, these tights support the lower back, hips, quads and knees. My legs feel great even after a 16 mile trail run. These babies will be with me as I train for my first 50 miler! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!

I love these tights, and my friends swear by them. I got them hoping that they'd help my legs feel better on longer runs, and I do notice a difference. I started with the capri length, but ended up wanting support all the way down to my ankle, so I got the longer ones. I do like them. They're a little warm in the summer...

Pain_Killer_Jane - I found that this pair of pants increased my speed. I didn't realize that I was having hip pain but after wearing these I can say, "Wow, what a difference." If I could combine this pair of pants with shin support I would run nearly pain free...

Great running tights - I've wanted a pair of these for over a year now and finally took the plunge and bought them. They give me more energy during workouts and look great. My favorite thing about them is that they are tight enough to keep all my jiggily parts nice and tight (trying to lose 10 pounds), but yet not too tight that I feel uncomfortable. I was hesitant to spend this much on running pants, but I can honestly say these were well worth it!

What a difference - Bottom line: these tights really work wonders to keep you feeling like you have done less than half that amount of work! I run outdoors and they keep high sweat areas warm and cool! I also ordered Pro Tights in 3/4 length from Zappos.com. They provide the best service around.

For your health - I have every length of these tights for every season. I have a medical condition affecting my legs and these tights give me the support that allows me to exercise and stay fit. They are expensive, but I haven't found anything that works better, so they are totally worth it.

Runner’s dream - I found the CW-X Pro Tights to be perfect for the cold weather. Since I am 5'1" (97lbs.), the size xs is almost perfect. This is also for a larger and/or heavier body so I found this to be slightly large so I pulled up a little higher by the waist and lower by the ankle. This gives me extra support especially when running long distances. PS. Since I am 68 yrs. old I could use anything to hold me up even when standing!!!
