Product Features

The CW-X Stabilyx tights provide optimum targeted support to the core and knees. They're ideal for runners, for activities with lateral motion and for athletes seeking our best form of knee support. The patented CW-X Support Web bands together the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg to stabilize the knee and reduce vibration for increased efficiency. The CW-X Support Web also harnesses the midsection, supporting the lower abdominals, hips and back to channel power through the core. Variable compression facilitates circulation during and after activity, minimizing lactic acid build-up so that you can be active longer and recover faster. Six reflective flash strips and reflective logo provide 360-degree visibility for nighttime activities.
The flat seam construction eliminates abrasions, increases comfort, and enhances fit. Other features include abdominal and back panels for extra support, reflective "flash" and logo for extra visibility at night, a key pocket, and double-reinforced waistband with flat-draw cord.
The patented CW-X Support Web technology mimics kinesiology-taping techniques that trainers apply to injured muscles. When this technology is applied to muscles and joints it creates an exoskeletal support system that improves biomechanics during motion. The CW-X Support Web provides Targeted Support to key areas, decreasing muscle oscillation and focusing power so your muscles work more efficiently. Variable compression along the web facilitates circulation, minimizing lactic acid build-up and muscle soreness, so you can be active longer and recover faster.

Fits tight the first time... don't be discouraged,

This review is from: CW-X Women's CW-X Stabilyx Tights (Apparel)
I ordered these tights for myself as a Christmas present since my husband never knows what to get me and he just wants to give ourselves a dollar limit- lol. Well, I have been eyeing these for a long time but just couldn't bring myself to pay the price until Christmas came along as an excuse to indulge, and I am so glad I did! After you put them on 2-3 times, they are easier to get on. For some reason, the first time putting them on is a little bit of a challenge, and they actually felt too tight the first time. Let me just say also that I fell in the gray area on the sizing chart between extra small and small so I ordered "small." The first night I tried them on in the house I wore them around for an hour or so and I was disheartened by the fit, thinking I would have to send them back and get the medium... however, my husband encouraged me to keep them since, according to the sizing chart, I ordered the correct size. He said "they won't do what you are paying for them to do unless they fit you tight against your muscles." So, I threw caution against the wind and cut the tags off the next day when I went running after work with my best friend. That day when I put them on, they seemed to glide on easier and felt snug, but not too tight. I have since then wore them about 3 more times and they go on easy and feel like a great fit now. Running in them is a treat! I look and feel like a real runner and the support is amazing for preventing fatigue. I have only done shorter runs in them so far, 4-6 miles, but I can't wait to do a longer run in them to see how I feel. (The most I have ever done is a half marathon... I am usually just a casual runner 3 times a week to keep myself in shape... not too serious about doing marathons, although I think these tights would be a tremendous running tool in your marathon quests.)
I loved mine so much, I ordered my best friend a pair for Christmas in the "pro" series. She was thrilled to get them and we both look pretty good in them if I do say so myself! They make you look at least a size smaller since they seem to hold all the jiggly parts in place extremely well! Yes, even runners have jiggly parts, (especially if you are a 49 year old mother of 2 like me.) So bottom line, if you are a serious runner or even a not-so-serious one, I think you will not be disappointed if you order these as part of your running wardrobe. I am thinking of ordering the insulated ones now for extremely cold runs. I have only one complaint regarding the drawstring around the waist: it ravels out on the ends. I have tied knots in the ends but they still ravel out in the wash. I have washed mine 4 times now and they still look and feel new, with this exception. I never put them in the dryer, just hang them on a hanger to dry. So, I would rate them 5 stars if it weren't for the drawstring problem I am having. I wouldn't let that keep me from ordering them again, though. Bottom line, a great product and worth every cent in my opinion, and don't send them back after only trying them on one time... give it 2 or 3 tries before you decide about the fit. My friend said the same thing about hers, too. We plan on still running when we are in our 70's! Good luck and keep running!

Super-heroine tights,
By Serious Shopper (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CW-X Women's CW-X Stabilyx Tights (Apparel)
Knee problems prevented me from running and walking as much as I liked. These tights are great - you feel like Superwoman. Stabilizes your back and alongside both knees -- made me feel 25 again! Well worth every penny - I will be buying the summer version when it gets warmer.

Fantastic Athletic Tight,

I bought the CW-X Stabilyx tights for my wife after getting a pair for myself. They are absolutely great for both running and for other outdoor activities. We just got back from a ski/snowshoeing trip to the Colorado mountains, where we used the CW-X tights as a base layer. Performed fantastically! Provided good support to lower back and the quads - both of which get a vigorous workout when skiing and snowshoeing in the mountains!!
