I bought this pair as a gift, but I have an insulated and a regular pair of stabilxy tights and I love them. they are actually made small enough for a smallish, fit female. They stay up when I run, so I am not tugging at the legs all the time. they offer support to key areas of the leg. The insulated tights have insulation and windproofing where you need it most. The only negative is that they could use anle zippers. they are hard to get off!

At first I hesitated on spending [$] on a running tight but these are well worth the price. They are very warm running outside in the cold winters in Ohio. I have never worn a "compresion" running tight and that took a couple times of wearing to get used to the tighter fit. I also wear the under armour frosty running tights and the CWX are a great addition if looking for more of compression fit.

I call these my magic pants because when I wear them, my legs seem to take on energy and just keep going and going. I feel like a bouncy, springy bunny. I'm 5'4" (with short legs) 135 lb and M fit perfectly.

These tights are beautifully supportive! Just be sure you follow the correct size chart. According to one chart I would be a medium, but on the other chart I would be a large. I decided on the large, and am glad I did! They looked so small when they arrived, I laughed out loud! But they did fit, and hold everything firmly in place! A medium would never have worked. They are warm, but anything below 30 degrees, and my knees get too cold, so I still have to add another layer over top. They would be a great fall/spring stand alone layer, and work well for cold weather as a base layer. They really do support the knees, and keep your muscles from becoming fatigued! Am ordering same brand but lighter weight for warmer weather!

I love the CW-X Stabilyx line -- I won't race in anything else because I like the support.I have the regular tights, capris and ventilated shorts. I bought these Stabilyx Insulator tights as I wanted something a little warmer for the Winter with some wind protection and these are perfect. The only issue I have with CW-X is the sizing. According to the charts, I should wear a small (I'm 5'5", 135 lbs), but while I can wear the shorts in a medium, I need a large for the capris and tights. Any smaller and I feel like my calf circulation will get cut off or I'll hurt myself getting in and out of them.

I would recommend. I feel like I run better and I actually feel lighter. Don't ask me how but I do. Jamie

These tights feel great once I got them on and ran in them! The compression feels great on my muscles when I'm running. I'm 5-7 and 119 pounds and usually wear XS in stretchy tights. I sized up to a small after reading reviews but had to return the small for a medium. Tough to get off over the feet but worth it. I would recommend them for active wear but not casual wear.

I ran in these tights for six miles and my legs felt as if they could go on forever. I did not want to take them off because they supported my joints so well. Did not need by compression socks with the full leg tights, did not need to ice my knees either after my run as I ususally do. Love these tights..bonus my husband says they look fantastic.

So far I do those these tights. There is a seam in the back that does run a little, but after a little adjustment it did not bother at all. I would recommend them to others. I would just recommend walking in around in them a little before heading out of the first run, so you can have them adjusted so the seams won't bother you. Love them!

They provided the support I needed while still keeping me warm and dry during a marathon. They stayed in place, no slipping down during movement. They only have one small key pocket in the front. It would be nice to have another pocket. Great tights and will be very happy wearing them in many events to come. Very well made!

These tights are among my favorites. Great compression fit and easy to run in. The one downside is that they don't have a zip ankle, but at least the ankle isn't painfully tight like some other tights out there. I'm ordering more. Can't say enough great things about them.

I wore the tights at a 10Krace the weather was very cold & windy and I was very comfortable especially around my knees . In 2010 I had surgery on both my knees, so I was very glad to have the stabilization of these terrific tights. I would deffinatley recommend them to my running friends

Wore these today 1st time for a run in about 35 degrees. They kept me warm but more importantly they gave exactly the support advertised. I was thrilled to feel the hold you in and muscle support advertised. Usually I wear M but ordered a L and it fit perfectly. I'm 5'9" 140 lbs.

I only wear CW-X because of my knees. That is the best thing I found after K Tape. This CW-X insulator kept me warm in a cold run in CO morning without loosing any support. Love them. Don't by the Revolution, they are very thin and I do not give the same support than the Stabilyx.

I love the built-in windproof panels in the quads, as well as the excellent knee and lower back support. Perfect for cold weather activities while protecting my joints and muscles at the same time!

Have these for skate skiing. Was on the border between M and L and went with L. Tough to get over feet but otherwise OK. Added toggle to the drawstring to make tightening the waist easier (a tight waist helps to keep tights from sagging down during work out). Can fit long underwear under them for colder days (15 F or below). Highly recommended for this sport. Comfortable and warm.

I wore these for the first time in my marathon, and they were great! Last marathon I had IT band problems that caused my knees to hurt badly, but I think these compression tights helped to prevent any problems during/ after this marathon. They also kept me warm enough, but not too hot. Really cute design colors, too, and quite flattering. Fantastic!!!

Love these tights, was looking for warmth and support. Very warm at current temps just above freezing. I'm 5'10" 140 lbs, the large fits well.

Tights seemed to be well made, but sizing chart was way off. According to chart guidelines I should have worn an XS. I was barely able to get my foot through the opening! When I did manage to get them on, they were uncomfortably tight & way too long. Ended up sending them back.

Nice and warm, with great support. And after 3 knee surgeries, I need it. Fabric has a fleece-y feel to it - nice!

These tights are great. I send to wear knee band and use various compression things for my aching shins. These tights prevent knee and shin pain. When I first started wearing them I used a small. Now, even though I've lost 15 lbs, I use a medium.

Perfect purchase! These tights feel amazing. Plenty of support and stability for my bad knee, feel like a champ wearing them. Keeps me warm for winter runs. And they look nice. I'm 5'5" 145lbs and the medium fits like a glove.
