Customer Reviews CW-X PerformX™ Tight

These tights would be great if they did not have a center seam in the crotch. After about 6 miles (on 3 different 1/2 marathons) the seam became more and more noticeable.

These are amazing! I just ran the Las Vegas Rock n' Roll Marathon in 35 degree weather and they kept me comfy and warm the whole entire race. I was skeptical, because usually after marathons I'm sore for days. Amazingly, my legs felt great and I wasn't doing the post marathon shuffle! I even could wear high heels the next day! How do they do it? I have little to no soreness! I am truly amazed!

These tights are awesome. Perfect for long runs. They definitely compress your legs, initially if feels like a little too much squeeze but when you are running you forget you have them on. Amazingly, I have not had as much leg soreness since I started using them.

These were my first pair of running tights. I am new to running in the evening and in the cold so I wanted something to keep me warm. \r\n\r\nI love the way these tights keep everything in place.

I love these tights. I didn\'t think they would make that much difference, but they really do help. My legs feel lighter, or something like that, especially when I\'m going uphill. The fit is, of course, very snug, and they take a few extra minutes to get on so all the webbing is on right. I have had a little rubbing from one inside seam, but Body Glide is my friend, so it works out. Overall, even though these pants are costly, I think you will get your money\'s worth if you are a serious runner.

Excellent and Worth the Money - I was hesitant to order these tights when I saw the price, but the other reviews were so positive that I thought I'd give them a try. I ordered a pair according to the size chart, and when I put them on (boy were they snug), I felt totally supported, had an AWESOME run, and no soreness the next day. I've since ordered three more pairs. Yes, they are expensive, but my run (and recovery) is much improved.

Great buy! Absolutely worth every penny! These were my first pair of CWX pants. I wore them on my first 10K race of the season this morning. The weather was horrible, rain and wind, but it didn't matter. My rheumatory arthritis of 10 years didn't even bother me at all, all thanks to these wonderful pants! The joint support for the knees were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend these to anyone. I'm about 5'4" and the small fits perfect. Great buy.

These tights are wonderful!!! These tights are worth every dollar that I paid. Amazingly, they seem to give me more energy. Therefore, I am able to run longer with very little fatigue. I run in these three times a week. Therefore, I plan to order another pair. I found that the large fit even though the chart indicated a size medium was best for me.

Running pants - I love these pants! They’re not quite the same as the other pair I own, but I do like these.

Fit for fitness - Running a 5k race in January I stained my hamstring. Having read testimonials about the CW-X tights I tried them for my next 5k just two weeks later. With these compression tights, despite chilly weather, I ran easily almost pain free to a 2nd place finish in my age group. CW-X lives up to their claim of support and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for that extra edge.

CW-X tights, WORTH EVERY PENNY! I was planning on buying these tights for quite some time, but was afraid to invest the money. On the other site, they were significantly more plus ship/hand, but a friend found them on Zappos.com for cheaper and free delivered! I have worn them on three different runs, 6, 8 and 10 miles so far, and they are AWESOME. They leave my legs feeling fresh and I hardly had any post-run soreness after running in them. Totally worth every cent I paid, and I will be getting two more pairs, because I don't want to wear these out.

I already own a pair of the Expert CR-X tights, that I have really enjoyed for the last 3-4 years. I ordered these tights, for the compression and how they look. I don't like this tight as much, because it doesn't have a no-chafe seam on the inside (women really need!), and it doesn't fit as snug as the other tight. The material quality is wonderful, though.

I purchased these tights for added support as I came back running after an injury. On the size chart I was in-between a small and medium. After reading other reviews I went with the small and I was glad I did. Do note that these tights are short. I am 5'7 and they fall well above my ankles. I have tried the medium size and they are just as short. Overall, I am pleased with the added support and the tights look good after over 10 washings.

Love these I run every day and love these tights. They do sag a little after wear. I feel the need to pull them up, especially around the knees, and then you know you have to continue pulling up the wrinkles. But they do make my legs feel better during and after a run.

Very good value when bought on sale. Size and fit is important. I am 5'4 and 120 lbs and the thigh fabric slides down a bit by the end of my long run (8-10 miles). Noted improvement in performance and I'm pretty satisfied with these tights.

For the price, it's not worth it. I would have returned it upon trying it on cause it felt like putting on a wet suit it was so difficult. However, I figured it would perform as desired on a run. I ran in mid 20 deg. weather and my thighs were frozen when I got home so not so it doesn't do too well on retaining body warmth. Also I had to stop intermittently to hike it up which was pretty difficult cause not only was it tight (which I liked) but my thighs were numb so I couldn't feel much. I'll give it another try when the weather warms up a bit. I figured it was a bit too extreme that day.

First pair of compression tights I've ever bought and I think they're great especially for the great price. I wore them for a Mud Run and they were perfect since they are so tight and dry quickly. They seem to keep my leg muscles from cramping which is why I bought them.

These CW-X pants are great! I did get a medium when the size chart recommended a small for me, even though I normally wear small running/workout pants, because I tried them on at a store first, and they were extremely tight, which is the point of the compression tights, but too tight for my liking. They are great for indoor or outdoor activities, even in the cold (I was good in 27 degree weather running). They sag a little in the crotch, but just make sure to hike them up. I’m shorter, so that could have an effect. My roommate is taller, and they come up a little higher from the ankle on her.

Great tight, love them! Don't put them in the dryer on high like me!

CW-X Performx Tight - I was worried about the sizing of these tights -- my height and weight fell in the XS range of the size chart but the chart was RIGHT! I am 5' 1" and about 118 lbs and the XS fits perfect. No sagging around the knees. This is the first time that I tried CW-X tights but have heard good things about the product. I don't know if they really support my legs as much as the manufacturer says that they do, but they have been very comfortable to run in. So far, my longest run with them has been 10 miles. I'm curious about the winter version and if I see it on sale wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

I am 5'9 and 145 lbs, ordered a medium based upon the sizing chart. Pros: I love the style of these tights, the tightness of them was perfect, and thickness of fabric worked well in moderate and colder California temps. These are well-made, high-quality running tights. Cons: These tights were too short in the leg and too long in the waist. I find this interesting because I am tall but long-waisted and fit regular length pants so figured these would fit fine. I wasn't concerned that my ankles were overly exposed but the pants didn't fit where they are supposed to on my knees (based upon the pattern), and the crotch was droopy when running even though they were pulled up well past my belly button. Also on a run the drawstring ended up badly chafing the inner part of my belly button - that has never happened to me before. I'm going to try the shorts hopefully with better luck!

I am 5'2" and recently lost a lot of weight. I bought these tights for winter warmth. The compression is wonderful on my bad knee, and the overall fit is great. I am very pleased with the quality.

These tights fit beautifully, provide excellent support and look good too. I'm ordering another pair.

These were the first pair of compression tights I bought - I got them because I was looking for hip support, and the reviews were so good plus these were super cute. When I first put them on I noticed immediately the areas of support. These are slightly thicker and I thought I would be hot on a mid-sixties temp run but I was not! IT band support, hip support, and calf support and wow, could I feel it. My legs felt great after a 9 mile practice run, and I immediately ordered another pair of CW-X tights, in a different style. It's important to take a look at each style on the CW-X website so you can see what area of support each style is designed for. Also, some tights are classed for cooler weather. Some tights are uber-expensive, too, but there's a reason for that, and reading what each style is for will really help you in selecting the right pair for your needs.

Like pulling on another layer of skin! But your legs will feel great while running and during recovery.
