Product Description

The CW-X Stabilyx Tight provides optimum Targeted Support to both the lower back/core area and the knee joint and surrounding muscles for greater overall stability, powerand endurance.

The CW-X Stabilyx men's tights provide optimum targeted support to the core and knees, making them ideal for runners and other athletes whose joints need maximum protection. The Stabilyx tights are made using CW-X's patented Support Web, which bands together the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg to stabilize the knee and reduce vibration.

The CW-X Support Web creates an exoskeletal support system that improves your biomechanics during motion.

The Support Web also supports the lower abdominals, hips, and back, helping you harness your midsection and channel power through your core. With the Stabilyx tights, you'll run with authority and efficiency, a must for athletes who want to train safely. In addition, Stabilyx tights increase circulation during and after your workout, minimizing lactic acid buildup so you can be active longer and recover faster. And the Stabilyx tights are safe any time of day or night thanks to the six reflective strips and reflective logo, which provide 360-degree visibility after dark.

The tights' comfort stems from the 80 percent Coolmax/20 percent Lycra four-way-stretch body fabric, which pulls moisture away from the body to the outside of the tight. Anatomically engineered specifically for men, the tights also feature a flat seam construction that eliminates abrasions, increases comfort, and enhances the fit. Additional features include a key pocket and a double-reinforced waistband with a flat drawcord.

Studies show that runners wearing CW-X tights are less fatigued than runners in regular shorts or tights.

The CW-X Support Web
Patented CW-X Support Web technology mimics the 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 your biomechanics during motion. This targeted support reduces muscle vibration to help your muscles work more efficiently, while also boosting circulation and reducing the buildup of lactic acids. With the CW-X Support Web, you can be active longer and recover faster.

Coolmax and Lycra Fabrics
The heart of CW-X is an obedience to the structure of the body, made possible by Coolmax and Lycra fibers. Coolmax is the fastest-drying fabric known to man. It moves moisture instantaneously from the body out to the fabric's outer surface, where it evaporates at twice the speed of cotton. This keeps you cool at even the highest temperatures. And with less energy spent cooling the body, you'll have more energy left to help you excel. Lycra, on the other hand, possesses the unique ability to stretch while still retaining its shape.

About CW-X
CW-X is dedicated to people around the world who love the exhilaration and challenge of sports. The CW-X brand is the creation of Japan's Wacoal Corp, the world's largest manufacturer of intimate apparel. Combining its scientific knowledge of the human anatomy with its experience in complex fabrications and apparel design, Wacoal Corp engineered the CW-X brand to meet the sports performance needs of the active U.S. consumer. In a study in Montpelier, France, runners wearing shorts, regular spandex tights, and CW-X Conditioning tights were measured comparing VO2 oxygen uptake levels over 15 minutes of running at 80 percent of maximal effort. When wearing CW-X tights, runners showed 26 percent and 36 percent lower oxygen use compared to runners wearing regular tights and shorts respectively.

Best full length compression tights hands down for short to medium length runs

By GJeff on November 20, 2012

Size: MediumColor: Black Verified Purchase

I had the pleasure of picking up a pair of the CW-X Stabilyx compression tights at the start of the fall season (2012). So far they have functioned brilliantly. I love, love, love the feeling of extra support around the knees with their unique design. The longer waist is really nice. The only thing that would make this product better is if they had better support for 'the boys' similar to Skins cup design in the front of their compression.

A little background, I am an ultrarunner who does 50-80 miles of running per week. I have used 2XU, Skins, Under Armor, and Sugoi compression products and these tights are superior by a long shot. I will be back to update how many miles I get out of this gear, but based on performance of other compression tights, I would expect 400-500 miles.

UPDATE: I have now put just over 100 miles on these tights - my review still stands with the exception of long runs. I am going to dock a star because the seams on these tights are not flat and have a pretty ragged edge which will nearly cut your nuts in half on any run beyond 9-10 miles (and this is even with body glide applied liberally). So for short or medium length runs, these are great. If going further, look elsewhere for maximum comfort.

Great for Those Prone to Injury!

By L. Glaesemann on January 2, 2013

Size: LargeColor: Black

As a middle-aged runner, the CW-X Men's Stabilyx tights has been instrumental not only in helping me recover from my shin splints but also in preventing future ones. As you will read in other reviews, it is essential that you understand that the sizes do not match conventional ones that we normally wear. In other words, don't lie to yourself about your weight;otherwise, you'll find yourself fighting to put them on and to take them off!

Once you have the right fit, you may find that when you first run with them that your legs may feel slightly restricted. There could be a couple of reasons. First, you lied to yourself about your weight; second, you did not place the middle of each leg over each knee; third, you washed them first and then put them in the dryer--a big no no; or four, you have a long stride when you run. Starting your run, the tights are always slightly tighter, but after five to ten minutes, they naturally stretch so that your legs can kick up higher but not longer. Not being able to stride as long is actually a positive, as doctors will tell you that a longer stride typically leads to injuries, something I only appreciated after I became injured after overstriding.

The main benefit, of course, is the protection a runner gains from wearing these tights. If you are not prone to injury, then something lighter may be more beneficial. I wear the tights, however, because they protect my shins, my knees, the outer part of my quads, and my hips. While I wear them for protection, my pace has not dwindled; if anything, it has improved since I feel more secure when I run.

Also, if you're self-conscious about running around the park or the neighborhood, you can always wear shorts over them, which is what I do. And how do they fair in warmer weather?Read more ›

Cadillac of compression tights

By Lancaster active family on February 9, 2014

Size: MediumColor: Black Verified Purchase

I have tried many running tights and compression pants over the past several years. One of the first I ever bought were from CW-X... And then I went off looking for a cheaper alternative, because I'm not made of money. Some of my other purchases were ok, some didn't maintain their compression, some sagged and wouldn't stay in place. While all of my other purchases were cheaper, many quickly found their way into the donation pile which meant I spent more money looking for the next option. Remember how I'm not made of money? So this purchase makes my third pair of CW-X tights, because investing in good equipment that takes care of you makes sense.

So, let's talk about the good and the bad for a second.
Good: lots of research has clearly gone into these tights. I'm used to kinesio tape as a means to support body function, and these tights work that same concept right into the fabric. You can feel the difference the moment you put them on. I can't speak to the exact percentage of increased performance, but the difference is something you can feel and that isn't something most pants can claim.

Bad: well, let's be honest, these are pricey. Good, but on the high dollar amount is still an obstacle. While a good performance enhancing running tight is awesome it simply isn't necessary for 90% of the runners out there where "fine" would work just as well. Unless you compete, or you have some disposable income to toss around you can get away with good options at half the cost. My other, somewhat trivial, complaint is the lack of pockets. There is a rather small pocket much like you find inside a swimsuit, but it isn't real secure and forget carrying much more than a small key. My car keys are too big for the pocket and I don't have large electronic keys like my wife's car has.Read more ›

They Work

By PrintGuy on November 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

I agree with the other positive reviews out there--these work as advertised. I am 41 years old and pretty fit, but my muscles don't recover quite as quickly as in my youth. These tights really do provide excellent support. I experience noticeably less soreness and fatigue after a run, and recovery time is shorter. It also seems like I am a little bit faster than when in shorts. The waist is quite high and does provide good lower-back support. I have run in them in the high 30's and find them to be adequately warm, but I will be purchasing the insulated version for wintertime.

These babies are snug, but they're supposed to fit that way. It takes a few minutes to put them on and to get all the "support webbing" adjusted, especially the knees. I am 5'10" and in the low 190's., and I went with a medium, as the company's website showed I was right on the edge between M and L. Their sizing chart seems accurate; I don't think I'll be able to eat too many donuts and still expect these to fit without cutting off my circulation. I'd say 190-195 is the realistic limit.

My only nitpicks are that the waist tends to fold over unless my compression shirt is tucked into it (though I suspect my, ahem, lack of a six-pack doesn't do me any favors there) and that the reflective strips are already cracking from being stretched out (maybe due, in part, to me bumping against the upper weight limit for my size). They also bunch up just a little bit behind the knees when running, but not enough to concern me, and in any case I don't know how that can be avoided.

These tights are excellent--it's not a gimmick. I intend to wear them on all but the hottest days now, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
