Customer Reviews CW-X Expert Tight

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.

Love them! Great fit, but need to be tied tightly to keep the knee support in place. Material can be itchy at times.

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!

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.

Bought several CW-X compression tight styles, long and capri, in a single order from Zappos. Had to return these because they were larger than the other styles. Bought an XS in all CW-X models and am 5'3" and 115 lbs. These were roomy in the waist and not fitted enough to provide any compression through the hips, especially in the upper hip area (and I have curves). I need that support so they had to go back. Don't like the idea that I'd have to tie the waist string tightly to keep them up. I could feel that they'd be trying to make their way down without much movement required. Not comfortable.

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.

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.

My wife enjoys the product... Though she said her CW-X Expert Tights were a bit snug in the crotch area, the bands on the material protects her leg muscles in the cold weather. Zappos, of course, did an awesome job sending the tights to my sister-in-laws house in North Carolina, where we were staying for the Holidays. Also, you can't beat Zappos for their customer service! Their personnel took the time to compare my wife's measurements to assure her that she received the correct size!!

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.

I have many pairs of the CW-X compression tights. I have several pairs- prob more than several. For me, the waist is too tight. I manage and still love these tights. I do miss the crazy pattern ones from several years ago.

I usually wear an XS in the CW-X tights but needed a Small in these for some reason. I have shorter legs (I am 5'6 125 lbs) and so the length was perfect but I can see if you are taler or have longer legs it might be annoying. They keep my legs nice and warm during our cold, rainy days.

Great for running in cool weather, comfy fit, takes effort to put on, tight at heel, but good support AND good for recovery as they are compression as well.

Great compression tight. Gets me through my workouts with energy to spare and accelerates my circulation so that I am able to use the same muscles the next day with minimal to zero soreness. These tights are not just for running. They are for any type of exercise that pushes your legs to the limit. I just ordered another pair.
