better than expected!, November 27, 2009
This review is from: CW-X Men's Insulator Expert Running Tights (Apparel)
I am not a running expert but wanted some tights essentially for warmth this winter. I was amazed at how much better my legs felt after running in these versus just wearing shorts or pants. My legs were not as tired after running which has allowed me to increase my distance. I was sceptical about compression wear at first but now am a believer!

Worth the money., February 19, 2011
This review is from: CW-X Men's Insulator Expert Running Tights (Apparel)
I bought these mostly as a skin layer for mountaineering and secondly for running on cold days.
At first I thought they might also be a tad too tight (I got a M and I am a 31 waist 30 length). I was wondering if I could put up with them for more than 8 hours. Had them on for about 36 hours straight under snow pants and fleece pants and they did not actually bother me at all. They did their job pretty damn well. Maybe they just needed to stretch a little.
I read others say, they ankles are tight. They are. Although mine have loosened up noticeably. Luckily they never made the dreaded pop of torn threads. Just be careful before they've been worn a lot.
In terms of the 'support' thing. I think it is mostly a bunch of BS. I didn't buy them to keep my body together, bought them to rid moisture and give a little insulation. If you're complaining about knee support and a avid runner, I suggest cycling. I am hard pressed to believe a little stretchy fabric will help your bone structure in the long run.

Great tights. I wear them for snowshoeing and bicycling (when it's cold). Warm and wind resistant.
