Women's CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Tight

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These are well worth the price here at RRS. I purchased first pair at a local store just to be able to try them on and get advice. I have a one pair of the knee length shorts and one pair of this capri. I absolutely love them ~ never go on a long run without wearing them. I gave 4 stars only because I am 5'3" ish and the placement of the knee support is a little long for me but I work it. I am 44 and have lost 50 pounds via diet and running and the support these pants offer is awesome. Don't hesitate invest in yourself!

I'm 5'5", 107 lbs (32-24-36). I got size XS

I use these for running and skiing.

I was debating between size XS and S and decided on XS. When I got these I thought there was NO way I was fitting into them; they looked like they'd fit a 12 year old. Surprisingly, they did fit and they made my legs and butt look good! Putting them on requires effort. You have to situate the knees first and then slowly pull them up. Make no mistake about it, these capri's are tight. Nothing giggles, which for me is awesome and is the reason I buy compression pants/capri's. I will say that you can "feel" the seems on these which is a bit weird. I would recommend them and buy another pair.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I bought these for stability/support for running, especially for my knees. they provide very firm support, but i recommend going one size up, it was almost hard to breath they were so tight...but i'd still recommend them to someone looking for firm control

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

As a 43 year old runner with torn cartilage and ligaments in both knees, I frequently find that my knees ache after long runs. With these pants, my knees feel 80% better after even long runs of 12 miles. I always wear these for long runs now and have invested in a second pair.

These tights are great. At the time I am posting this review, 83% of other reviewers indicated this capri tight ran small. These are a true compression tight and the fit should be snug, but not uncomfortable. I'd recommend looking at CW-X's sizing chart, rather than the one that RoadRunner includes on this site. CW-X's sizing chart is a grid that increases by 1 inch height increments and 5 pound weight increments (similar to the sizing chart for most stockings/pantyhose). At 5'6" and 138 lbs, I fall in the "grey area" and chose to size up to a medium, as my upper body is slimmer than my lower. They fit great. RRS - please do all of your shoppers a favor and replace your sizing chart with CW-Xs for this product!!! I have large calves and these capris stay put at the bottom, rather than riding up and bunching at the knees like most other capris do. I bought my first pair a few months ago and am asking for another for Christmas.

I bought these for a 9 mile race but waited so long to order them that I did not get a chance to try them before the race. I was worried about this but from the positive reviews I had read, I was hoping I would be OK. I never thought about the tights the entire race so I would say they are prefect. The compression helped at the end since I am not used to running this distance.
I am 5'6" and 125-130lbs and the small size fit well.
You will not regret spending the money on these and I plan on buying the full length for this winter.

I purchased an xs. After getting them on, which is a challenge the first time, they felt snug everywhere but almost pinching, in the back of the knees. I just wasn't sure if they would be uncomfortable while running. So exchaged them for a small, which were just slightly bigger. After wearing them many times I do think I should have kept the xs, as the proportion was better for the alignment of the knees for support. I think they loosen slightly while wearing as well. I will definitly buy another pair, but this time in an xs. I am 5 ft 1, and 112 lbs. I guess it would be nice if they came in a petite length due to proper knee alignment. I can run longer distances without knee pain, and also amazing compresssion through the thighs and rear!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I love my CW-X tights! They make every one's butt look great!! Many of the ladies that I ran with - all purchased them - we are all seasoned runners. They all raved about theirs and I really wanted a pair.

The one comment I kept hearing was "they fit very snug." When I compared my size/height/weight to the chart, I was closer to the XS, but ordered the S. I used to be bigger (size M) before I started running and I think that I haven't quite wrapped it around my head that I am now tiny! An XS would have provided me with more support in the specific targeted areas.

These are my favorite tights, I won't bother with the other brands. I'll have to get a pair of shorts next.

Thanks for carrying them in your product line.

P.S. My running has gotten faster too!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I bought these from reading that others had success wearing these if they had knee pain. I wore these and meant to take my advil before my run...I guess I was so excited to try out my new pants. Anyway, no typical knee pain! Other than I don't care for how high the waist is, I'm really liking these!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

Wear these always. (We'll see when it's 79...). Never get sore any more!
They are very tight at first. You grow accustomed to the compression.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

My second pair of CW-X capri tights. Absolutely love them. Feel like the added support helps my performance and recovery - ran a difficult 20k trail run and was not sore the next day day. Bought the multi/rainbow colour for a splash of fun! According to the CW-X size chart, I fell b/w a S and M and should have sized up but am very happy that I chose the size S - fits well without any dramas to put on/take off.

Great for my sport soccer. Awesome for recovery.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I use CWX tights for crossfit and running - especially marathons and hill repeat/speed sessions. Decided to try the capris for warmer weather. These are the same great compression and performance I expect from CWX; however, there is no triangle/diamond in the crotch area. These MUST be worn with a thong or under ware - OUCH!!!!

They are see through - ok for running with a long shirt /shorts over, but definitely need shorts or underware for crossfit.

Giving 4 stars, because they perform, but need to be 1) less see through 2) Crotch protection.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These pants are fantastic! They felt great while running, didn't chafe, ride up, or fall down. They gave a great amount of support to my legs and hips. I highly recommend these pants, they are absolutely worth every penny spent!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These tights are great! They support all the places that seem to ache during and after a long run - hip flexors, glutes, *knees*! And with the capri length, they feel more comfortable in moderate to warm weather than wearing my full compression tights. Super tights w/ cute stitching detail!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I love these capris, the Stabilyx tights, the Insulator Endurance Pro tights, and the wind panel(not sure of the name)tights! CW-X makes the best compression tights I have ever worn. Love the feel, the support, the way they hug my body and keep me going on my training runs whether short (3 miles) or long (half marathon). I won't wear anything else now that I have found CW-X!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

This is my first pair of compression tights. I did feel a difference in my muscle fatigue. I am usually a large but my husband bought a medium and it was just right. The only problem I had was the seam up the back rubbed a raw spot on me.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These tights totally live up to good reviews and recommendations. Love the support and how you feel after long runs. Don't know if I could go back to other tights.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I am a distance runner, I am now having hamstring issues , got these to see if they would help with the hamstring pain, maybe somewhat, but they do seem to give me support for my achy knees& also for my IT band pain as well. Love these tights, feel great, love the colors stitching, thinking about ordering another pair , just maybe the black....they feel better than an other running tights I have ever owned or ran in.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

Very comfortable and I felt very supported in these pants and they make you feel awesome. Have had some minor lower back and knee pains running and felt more supported wearting these for my longer runs!

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These are fantastic! They really help keep you comfortable & supported. I want more.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I bought these tights because I have bad knees, but have recently taken up fitness walking/running and then entered a half-marathon as part of a relay team. I needed all the support I could get! These really helped to keep my muscles and joints supported, which in turn helped me conserve energy for the big push to the finish line. These are really great. One note to watch out for: Buy one size larger than you think. I usually wear a medium, and it was way too small on me so I bought a large.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

Looks like serious running gear! Lots of support panels. Surprisingly comfortable with compression. Doesn't bind at waist or chafe.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These tights are well worth the money. Make my legs feels so good when running. I am 5'4", 128lb and ordered the small. The sizing information on the page left me uncertain, so I followed others advice and went to the CW-X web page to determine sizing. That worked out well and I would highly recommend that you do the same. And yes, I ordered the full length tights after trying these. Will definitely be running in these most of the cooler weather days.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These tights are great. They provide very strong support without impeding flexibility. The knee support is very good. I just wish the waistband was wider to provide a smoother transition.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

I'm a beginner runner and I'm on the heavier side (5' 6 1/2", 175 lbs). I initially got a L but didn't feel like they were as tight as they were supposed to be so I returned them for a M. Ooh WEEEEE now these babies are TIGHT! I had to fight to get them on but when I went out to run in them (3 miles) I felt GREAT. My shins didn't hurt (my battle) and my legs just felt great. They were murder to get on but they were worth it. I probably wouldn't wear these everyday just because of the hassle to get them on but I will definitely wear them when I need additional support and on longer runs (once I get to that point). I will be ordering more for sure. I can imagine I will be racing in these.

Oh, and if you have cellulite... no one will ever know in these! ;)

Great support.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

These were a last minute purchase for a half marathon, I was comfortable in them the entire time, I never over heated or needed to adjust the position of the support bands. I definitely recommend these for all runner types.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

PROS: The support these tights give is amazing. I own 3 pairs and don't do runs longer than 4 miles without wearing them. I truly believe that the additional panels that lay on top of your IT band and wrap around the knee help your body stay in alignment especially when fatigued. I credit these tights and religious use of a foam roller as the key ingredients of my finishing my first half marathon (training program and race) without getting injured. Similar to another reviewer, I have larger calfs and the bottom of these capris stays put and doesn't bunch up behind the knees. They hold up well in the wash (cold wash/air dry). My first pair is over a year and a half old and they still provide great support, although they are no longer quite as tight as my newest pair.

CONS: On long runs (over 8 miles) I have experienced some chaffing on my bottom due to the seaming at the back of the crotch panel. I remedied this by applying glide stick to the area before pulling on the tights. The seam in the back of 2 of the 3 pairs of these tights rubs my tailbone (a small spot about the diameter of a pencil eraser). I don't realize its rubbing while running, but will notice it afterwards. If I tuck my shirt in that fixes the problem. Even with these two 'cons' I still rate this product 5 stars.

SIZING: As another reviewer mentioned, go to CW-X's website and look at their sizing chart rather than relying on the one provided on Road Runner's site. It is a grid with weights in 5 lb increments and height in 1 inch increments. This will ensure a good fit. These are a true compression tight they should feel tight when you put them on.

Comments about Womens CW-X 3/4 Length Stabilyx Capri Tights:

Based on all the recommendations, I bought these and I really like them. I think they are a little big for me; I am 5'4", 135 pounds, and I bought size Medium. They are too long rather than too tight. I think if I had gone down a size they would be too snug. I wish they were a little shorter, but I manage.

I really like the snug fit, and although I can't comment on whether they help my legs feel better or not, I like the way they feel when I'm running. Actually, I guess I should say I like the way I don't feel them at all when I'm running, they seem to disappear, but I really appreciate the exceptional support.
