Customer Reviews CW-X Insulator Stabilyx™ Tight

Nice warm running tights, I'm not sure if the compression alleviated muscle fatigue, but I love the tights. A very snug fit. I'm a size 4-6 and got a small and they "just" fit.

I just bought these and tried these out...they feel like the pinch the backs of my knees. I'm between xs and small so I got the small. They fit on right but it's uncomfortable. Also, I wore these in about 23 degree weather and my legs were freezing! I'm really disappointed because I read such great reviews...If they didn't pinch the backs of my knees I would keep them because they do look rather awesome. Also, the drawstring? Extremely long! And then ends of the string are not finished so they are frayed; such a disappointment for a $120 pair of tights.

As if these needed another five star rating, but they are just that awesome. They somehow provide lower back support. I am not sure how that works, but I am definitely not complaining. People have actually stopped to cheer for me when I run in the park in these. They just make you look fast!

I am a new runner - no experience whatsoever. But I do have a cranky left knee due to over-stressing it a few years ago, and I ski casually as well, so I'm familiar with how tired and achy my knees can be. My knee issue mostly stems from having weak quads, which puts too much stress on the knee joint itself. So far, these feel GREAT. On the bitter cold days, I wear something light over them, but overall, they're plenty warm enough and they definitely reduce the amount of stress my knee feels. I haven't felt that awful ache since I started running. One suggestion - when they say to pull them into place over your knees before getting them the rest of the way up, they're not kidding.

Worth every penny for the serious runner. I wish I had found out about these running tights sooner!! After finding them on zappos.com and reading all the reviews I had just had to order them. Today I was so excited to test these tights out. Supportive and tight but very comfortable. I ran my 12 miles around Green Lake- no fatigue, no pain just serious running!! I shaved off 10+ minutes from my run! Amazing!

I love these tights. I received them yesterday and promptly put them on to try them out and ran six miles. I felt great the whole time. I couldn't believe the amount of back support they gave me. I was worried about the size because I'm on the large side for a runner. I wear size 12 pants and was worried the larges would be too small. They fit great. I could be a little bigger and wear them or a little smaller, too. I hope that eases someone's mind that is unsure because they're not a rail thin runner either. Buy them, they are a quality product and very comfy to wear running.

Awesome tight - This is a great tight for running. I have noticed it has helped all muscles in my legs and everything else feel great after running. I ran one day without them and wow what a difference. Make sure you get the right fit. They need to fit you like a second skin. You should not have a lot of extra material at all to pull, especially behind the knee. If you do, then it is too big. I recommend these to everyone. They are awesome.

Perfect for ski season! I bought the stabilyx tight for running, and they were a dream for my bad knees, I bought these for upcoming ski season and colder weather running!

Incredible tech/engineering - Very well thought out tights, provide excellent and lower back and knee support, definitely decreases muscle fatigue and keeps me from freezing while running the dog.

Best tights ever - Love these tights! Totally worth the money. I will buy more and highly recommend them to any runner looking for support and comfort. They also look really cool.

Flawless and Fabulous!!! Everybody who is an outdoor person MUST have these. I got my first pair yesterday ~ wore it this a.m. on a hike and just ordered another long pair and two pairs of the shorts!!! Must have the Insulator Stabilyx Tight!!! This is amazing technology...I have lower back and knee issues and these made me a gazelle this a.m.!!!

Highly recommend for anyone who is a runner. They are so worth the money. I have IT band issues, and these honestly help in supporting me through my longer runs. These are wonderful in the 20 degree weather we have been experiencing here lately too!

I bought these so I could start running in the winter time (I usually run when it’s warm) and also because I needed it for a 5K that was coming up. I had my doubts about this product, but I was pleasantly surprised; these tights kept me warm and it just felt great! Definitely worth the money!

These are great tights; very supportive and I do notice being more comfortable as I run. I am a pear shape and these really help; it's like running in a girdle, but a very stylish one! I bought two more pairs, they are the best compression tights I've found, and though expensive, well made. My only warning is, because they are so "snug" they snag very easily, which is a heartbreaker after paying so much for them. I can't imagine running on a trail with underbrush with them.

Best support ever. Most flattering ever. Please RE-stock, Zappos.

I absolutely LOVE these tights... This is my second order of this brand... I recommend them to anyone which runs.

I have IT band issues and sometimes the knees will hurt a little while running. I've worn these twice now on the treadmill and love them! My legs do not feel so tired after my runs and my IT band did not bother me once. It almost feels like they are helping me propel forward because of how tight they are. I will definitely be purchasing the capri version. I am right in the middle of the Medium size range and because I've never worn compression clothing before so I felt as though they were incredibly tight but apparently that's the way they are supposed to be. I have a bit of a belly yet so the waist band was a little uncomfortable at first but I played with the position and just don't pull up so far. The only negative is the seaming by the crotch area. Was not comfortable commando.

These tights definitely do a great job of keeping everything where it should be. Tons of support. My only complaint are the seams inside. For someone who has sensitive skin, the seams tend to rub on the longer runs. Other than that, they do what they claim. I am normally a size 10 and the large fits perfecct

These are the only tights I run in now. They are very supportive and yes I feel faster in them. I will order these again and I do recommend them to everyone!

These are fantastic! Very snug which they should be and the sizing chart is right on. Perfect for any running or even a warmer cross country ski trip. Warm too!

I'm a petite woman so I really appreciate that these CW-X Insulator tights fit so nicely. For reference, I'm 5'1" and 96 lbs and ordered an XS. The length of these pants is a perfect fit! And like other reviewers have mentioned they are tight but they do enhance your figure nicely. After trying the CW-X compression pants, I'm finding it difficult to wear anything else! The only thing I'm not crazy about is the extremely long drawstring. The pants are such a tight fit I can't imagine anyone wanting to pull that string and make the waist smaller. I wear a 24 in J Brand jeans and I had to pull the drawstring out the entire way. I'll be trimming the drawstring so it doesn't look so bulky under my workout shirts. I haven't worn the pants outside yet so I'm not sure how warm they will keep me but I'm being hopeful.
