CW-X Men''s Stabilyx Running Tights

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? While I wouldn''t wear them during Houston''s summers, I find them comfortable enough to wear uring the other seasons. If you''re prone to injury and looking for that extra support, then by all means check out these tights. You won''t regret it!

I wore these the night hey arrived in the mail and immediately noticed an improvement in how my legs felt. I also have had issues with my knees and these provided great support on the first test run today. After five miles I felt much better than without the added support. Will definitely buy another pair of cwx.

This was my second Tough Mudder event and there was many more hills that the first. The difficulty rating was pretty high so I can''t say that these compression pants didn''t do their job. It was extreme conditions and many people cramped up bad by mile 6. They didn''t slide around much or ride up; the CW-X Tights made it alot easier to get through some of the obstacles that required you to crawl or slide,. The reenforced knee pads worked well when crawling through rocks. I used this product beyond what it was designed for and to sum it up, yeah, I would buy it again.

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.
