Women's CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Tights

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

When these tights first arrived and I took them out of the box, I thought there was NO WAY these were going to fit - they looked so tiny! But I followed the instructions, put them on and fit the knee area to my knee caps and then slid them up and they fit perfectly! They did feel a little tight on the back of my knees when I bent my knees and I worried that would be irritating during a run; however, I ran 9 miles in them the first day I got them, and they were very comfortable and I did not notice any pinch in the back of the knee area while running. They were tight enough to control the "jiggle factor" and not slide down from my waist, yet loose enough to be very comfortable for the entire run. I love them and wish I could afford to buy 10 pair!!

These are the best running tights and well worth the money, the support they give is great. I bought them to wear on my long runs only but I now wear them all the time. My legs recover faster and don't get tired. I will recommend if you are between sizes get the bigger one, if I would have gone with the smaller one they would have been to tight. I love them and would recommend them to anyone.

I splurged on a pair of these tights because I have IT band problems and I am on the heavier side as runners go. They definitely contained the giggle factor, were very comfortable and I had no IT band problems on a 12 mile run. It actually felt like I had more momentum and spring. I love them!

I love these tights! I have lower back pain and these tights have just the right amount of support. Worth the money!

I am 5' 7" and fall between small and medium or at the lowest weight for medium. That's the size I got and they fit perfect. They are not see through if you buy the right size. The support is perfect. As other people have stated, when not running in them you can "feel" them at the back of your knees. While this may bug some people. It doesn't bother me at all and when I'm running it gives the perfect amount of support and you can't feel the material behind your knees. I bought two pair of capri's. Loved them so much I tried these and have already bought a second pair of the full length. Be patient putting them on. Put them on like you would panty hose.

Love this product! Feels great, excellent compression, won't slide off while running. They are too hot for hotter region, great for chilly days.

I have purchased three pair of pants. Two pants and one Capri. I use my Capri pants for short runs. Six miles on less. I like my pants for longer runs. But now I wear my long pants for all runs. My legs and calves feel good are each run. Ladies if you know what Spanxs are. Theses remind me of them with great support bands in all the right places and they make you look good and feel good. Great running pants.

I've struggled with injuries and I'm embarassed to check Casual/Recreation athlete when I used to be an avid athlete. My lower back, knees and calves felt 20 years younger (I'm 40) while snowboarding today.

Invaluable! I'm buying 2 more pair today. If you are injury prone GET THESE TODAY! I would say they are worth the cost and more. I would pay double the price.

Please create a colorful tight in size XL. Black is SO BORING!

I have had a couple of knee injuries, and the patella will slip out of alignment, so I use these when doing yoga, and hiking, biking etc to prevent more problems

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

If you are looking for compression tights, these are the tights for you. My hips didn't fatigue the way they did in non-compressive wear during marathon training. They are heavy - certainly felt a bit much during the summer, but I stuck with them because of the joint support.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

They give me great support for my knees and hips. I wear them for 2-3 hours after the run and they help me tremendously to recover and not having pain on my knees.
Do not buy the Revolution type. They are very thin and I did not feel the same support that these ones give me.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I love these pants. I have no idea how I made it so long without these! They do support your joints and the compression helps on the long runs. I just ordered another pair!

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I am recovering from major spine surgery and I have two total knee replacements. These CW1 Tights are superior for the following reasons: They stabilize your muscles so you don't experience pain or muscle spasms. Fatigue is not an issue anymore. The quality is outstanding and
the comfort level is fantastic. They are worth every penny. Hand wash them in cold water and the new FLEXIBLE WOOLITE. Rinse in cold water then roll them in a large bath towel or microfiber cloth to absorb the excess water and hang to air dry. Now you will feel terrific!

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

be sure to size up-these are comprssion tights. Nomally would get a small and got a medium.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I've had problems with my knees since I was a teenager so I decided to try these tights out to see what support they could offer me. I am happy that I did! I rarely run more than 5 miles, but they allow me to do that at least without pain. As for the fit, it seemed spot on. Using the chart I was at the top of a S so I opted for a medium since my legs are a little bigger than most gals my height.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

My legs doesn't get tired easily when I do running or hiking. Very good support and I feel like I can run more miles without worrying about injury.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I debated for a long time before purchasing these tights. The price tag was a little high for something I was unsure of; would they really do what they claimed? But receiving a gift card help make my decision, and they do seem to be fully supporting their claims. It takes a bit to position the support pieces in the right place on your legs (around joints not on them, etc.) and the compression is full on so if you miss the spot its best to take them off and start again, instead of just trying to adjust while in them. But I will say that my legs did not feel as fatigued after my long run as in the past. And the grey on black vs. the multi color is more my style. They are not cold weather tights however and on colder days another layer would be needed.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I love these tights! They are very supportive and definitely reduce fatigue on long runs. I originally ordered a medium based on the waist & hips measurements provided ---BAD IDEA ---. I ended up selling those to my running partner and ordered a small based on my height. They will not do you any good if the leg is too long and you cannot position the bands properly. Expect them to be TIGHT like compression sleeves and order as such. Highly recommend!

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I bought these based on the reputation of the make.

If like me you don't like a panty line, these are NOT for you. They do not have a gusset like most tights and they have a seam that goes right up the middle of the girlie bits. On a longer run (over 20km) I have chafing in a place I have never ever had chafing before. Underwear is a must with these tights - unless they move the seam/stitch a gusset in future models.

From a support and compression point of view they were fabulous. Just need to sort out the other painful problem.

Running longer distances with these
If you ever put on pantyhose, you won't have a problem with these.
They do restrict movement but they also improve my posture and I think because my legs aren't moving quite as much as with shorts on, that's why they help me go longer distances. I'm using less effort.
You have to do serious stretching beforehand so they are seeted around the muscles you want to protect.

I am 58 and newly returned to running. I bought these tights to help my form in my first 10K race. I am in between sizes Small and Medium, so decided to go with the Small. I am glad I did. They fit great -- no extra folds or loosenes, but not too tight either. I was hoping they would give my previously injured hip more support to avoid reinjury. Unfortunately, the tights didn't work for that, but otherwise, they did the job. After the run my legs felt great. Except for my hip, I was not sore or tired the next day. These tights are a good investment!

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I bought these for post-op support after leg surgery because the support stockings provided by the surgeon were uncomfortable and unsightly. I am very active, and these tights are my go-to leg wear. I will wear them even after I've recovered from surgery. Great product.

Comments about Womens CW-X Reflective Stabilyx Fitted Tights:

I recently started using these tights and have to admit that I do love them. When worn and positioned properly, I can actually feel the compression on my calf and thigh muscles. The area I had been most concerned about was my calves since I have had shin splints in the past and am always cautious about the type of surface I run on (meaning I try to avoid sidewalks and concrete). After my usual weekend distance run, I usually expect a some soreness the next day, however, my legs felt fine the next day. The technology does what it says and I am pleased with the product. My only gripe with it is the length. I am 5'1 and ordered a size small since there is no way my legs would fit in a size extra small (I have pretty muscular thighs and calves). When I position the tights properly, the portion above the knees to the crotch is a little too long. I personally never wear my tights to the point where it gives me a little bit of a wedgie. Other than that I love the tights...just wish the thigh part was a little shorter. Oh and the tights reach my above my hips (kind of like high waisted pants).

I purchased the black multi version of these tights and love the way they look and feel. As mentioned in previous reviews, they take a bit of work to get on and aligned properly, but once they're on they stay in place and feel amazing. I've run two half marathons and a 15k in them since I got them and was really happy with how they performed. No chaffing, no shifting around. My legs and knees felt very happy.

A few cons:
- I am a little disappointed that the reflective lightning bolt details have already started to crack/look worn after only a few washes.
- The drawstring in the waist is really large and bulky.
- The "pocket" is way too tiny to be of any use.

I ordered the multi-color pattern in these tights and they look fabulous: distinctive without being so "flash" that I would feel upstaged by my pants :) I think they fit a bit small. Medium was unbearably tight on my 5'7" 130 pound frame (note that I have widely spaced hips but not much of a butt). The Large fits fine, and I have room for a few more pounds (which, hopefully, won't turn up). They have a higher than average rise, which is nice for more of a fall-winter pant. Although the seams leave some marks on my legs after a long workout, there has been no rubbing (great to find long tights without ankle zippers). I do have two quibbles with them, though, and both will stop me from using these as my "go to" leggings for long races. First, the drawstring is too long and bulky, so it digs into my waist a bit. Not a big deal after 5 miles - wouldn't want to run a half or full marathon in these guys. The biggest problem, though, is that there is only a teeny tiny pocket, and it's on the inside at the front waist. I much prefer an outside pocket on the back of the rights. I wouldn't put anything but a tissue or a key in the inside pocket, and I need somewhere to keep a credit card and a Gu when I'm running for long distances outside.

I wore these on a 12 mile run in 50 degree weather and they felt great!
I considered buying an XS since I am 5'3", 110 and wear a 0 but I am glad I followed the size chart. The S fits perfectly.

I ran 5 miles around Thanksgiving and my knees were killing me the next day. I run recreationally about 2-5x month so I'm used to feeling sore after a run. As an early Christmas present to myself I decided to see if these tights could really do what they advertise. I have since ran, on separate occassions, 3.5 and 7 miles, and my knees didn't hurt at all. The most I'd ever ran before was a 10K so the 7 miles was a first. I expected to be sore the next day and I wasn't. I felt great. I now tell everyone I know about these tights and am looking at purchasing another pair!
