Description

Stability is integral to performance, so put on the Stabilyx.

CWX designed the Women’s ¾ Length Stabilyx Tight with the support commonly reserved for folks with muscle and joint injuries. Their logic is, quite sensibly, that an ounce of prevention avoids a ton of physical therapy. (And really, who enjoys those appointments?) CW-X’s patented Conditioning Web supports each muscle group in your leg and holds your knee steadily in place. Extra support at the waistband lends a little extra power to your lower back and core muscles. And fortunately, even when the temps start testing your sweat glands, the CWX Stabilyx Tight’s Coolmax fabric speedily wicks away excess moisture. Rather than feeling damp and overheated, you’re free to focus on your run.

I am pleased with this purchase ... the rainbow stitch pants are fun to wear. I definitely have less fatigue during workouts and feel like it gives a little extra stability for my knees.
I have two other pairs of CW-X that are size small but I had to go up to a medium in these ... I think it is the added panel for the abs/back that makes them run a little smaller. I am right on the cusp between small and medium on their size chart anyway. If you fall in between sizes, I would go with the larger size for this version.

I was in desperate need of new capris & heard great things about the stabilyx tight. To be honest, first run I didn't love them as I felt they bunched up around the backs of my knees. Gave them another shot & found the perfect fit. I love how they hold everything in & make me feel supported.

They were warmer than I thought they would be, so take that into consideration when heading out for a run. In honestly I almost like them more for post-runs than running in them.

My mom (who just ran the Boston Marathon on Monday) swears by them. Also saw a lot of other marathoners in them, so that has to mean something!

Btw, 5'7", 135lbs and I have a size Medium. They look tiny, but fit perfect!

I am not a runner. but these are great tights to run in. it seems like i'm not as achy after (maybe because i don't jiggle as much). i'm (almost) 5'4"and my only complaint would be that these are meant for slightly taller people, so i really have to pull them up high around the knee to keep them from falling below my knees as I run. even so, they're great and I'm thinking about getting a second pair. i'm also about 140lbs and a medium worked great.

I have looked evrywhere for these CW-X 3/4...

I have looked evrywhere for these CW-X 3/4 stabilyx tight in XL - no one has XL ?
I have problems w/ knee pain n have been looking for an alternative to knee brace (kickboxing/lunges/running) all difficult w/out strong support.
I am so excited to get a pair after reading the great reviews.
Anyone know where I can find these in XL?

Hey Sharon,
Unfortunately CW-X does not currently make an XL in any of their tights. Backcountry does have a pretty exceptional return policy if you want to give the large a try!

I love these tights. I've been wearing them for a long time for running, gym work, and as a base layer for skiing. They rock!

These are AWESOME! I run nearly every day and tried these out a few months ago. I can definitely feel the support with these and would recommend them to runners who are looking for some high quality gear.

Amazing. And I agree with BonnieLass, the knee support is great but what these do to your butt, well you have to see for yourself! Keeps everything in where it should and makes you feel secure and supported in all the right places. High enough waistband to tuck in most of the wobblies. I am 5"4 and on the size chart was inbetween a S and a M - I chose an M because my tummy is bigger than my butt and legs and I didn't want to feel like a constricted sausage. I opened the pack and laughed my head off thinking there was no way I was going to get into a M. Well like everyone says they are a bit tight to get on but once they are on, they fit like a comfortable glove. If in doubt, I would go for the size up if you are in the grey area in the sizing chart. Only thing I have noticed is that my hip to knee length ratio is not quite right - ie the area where your kneecap is supposed to fit is slightly lower than my kneecap as I have shorter thighs - just means that there is a little bit of bunching at the back of my knees but once I get going I don't notice this at all.

Thoroughly recommend these!

While I like the pants - I do not like receiving ten emails in one day asking me to review my purchase. I didn't realize this was part of my obligation over and above paying for the goods. Rather than clogging up my in box I will respond and block all future emails. A good purchase experience gone bad - and for reasons having nothing to do with the product.

Ok, so I got these to support my knees and IT band. I chose the 3/4 length because 1) they were on sale, 2) I was afraid to try to get into the full-length ones!

I am 5'7", 145-150. Solidly in the Medium (go to the CW-X site for excellent size charts). *yeah, right* When I got them I laughed, but gamely followed the instructions to get them on. Well, dang. They do fit. And dang... look at my butt! (I'll just hide that roll above the waistband under a nice loose running shirt!)

They're not gonna do miracles, but while running, they do feel supportive. And I liked pulling the waistband up in back to support my lower back. Less post-run fatigue? Maybe. I kept mine on for an afternoon and wasn't uncomfortable. So you could probably wear them for recovery gear also.

A funny feature: I didn't see a review that mentioned the drawcord waist. Think about that for a moment... These are hardcore compression gear. A drawstring? Seriously? I decided that the cord must be a safety device... you wrap it around your wrist so if the pants explode while you're running, you won't kill someone. I pulled mine out. I didn't like that bow in front detracting from my butt ;)

These are fantastic! Just like everyone else I was skeptical, but all the reviews are so positive and I have a friend who owns them and swears by them so I had to try them. I must say, I love them. These make me want to go run; who knew a pant could make you feel better WHILE you exercise?! I was an athlete in college (softball i.e. not a runner), but now I feel like my half marathon goals are attainable.

My friend and I are both 5'11" and we both wear a size L. She is skinnier than I am, but these seem to be tightest in the calf/back of the knee...since I have pretty fit/skinny legs a L is perfect for me...if you have large calves you may need to go up a size.

I'm thinking about ordering these...but...

I'm thinking about ordering these...but the sizing chart won't open. I'm almost 5'11" (apparently everyone else who wears them is 5'2" haha). Is the sizing at all comparable to say NIKE running tights? I wear a large in those comfortably with a little room in the calf/back of the knee. Just wondering if I should order the same size or if I'd need to go up a size. Thanks for your help!

Find the CW-X site, find some Stabilyx tights and then the link for the size chart...

OK, I admit I was a bit skeptical about the claims, but after wearing these pants for the first time over a 100km race I am hooked! I love them! Years of beating my body up means my calves and hips aren't always the most willing participants and I find myself covered in strapping tape at races, hoping to keep everything tracking the way nature intended. I've even resorted to sticking ice in my race suits to keep inflammation at bay! Brrrr!! But since donning these pants neither ice nor tape has been required, and I've lined up, competed and completed as a glistening picture of (burger eating) sweat soaked, tape-free fitness! Plus, as an added bonus, they hold in the wobbly bits just nicely!

I love these pants and will soon claim the entire range with the short and long versions finding a home in my closet!

These are just a great example of technology for high end gear! The compression is great and you can feel great support for your muscles on short and long runs.

I do have to say I had some issues with my calves. I am 5'2" and 120 lbs, with slim/average thighs but big calves. I got the size small, the support to my knees and thighs is great, but I still feel my calves too tight after a while using them. I dont think the M will work for me, so I decided to keep them.

CWX know what they are doing it. The support and compression placement is everything that people rave about. I use them both for running and under my ski pants and get the knee stabilization that I was looking for.

I love these tights, they have helped tremendously with knee and hamstring issues that I previously had -- now gone! These are amazing :)

CW-X continues to put out the best compression gear around! I got these 3/4 length tights to get me through the cool Northern California winters while getting dirty on the trails and they have performed like a dream. I have back issues and these stability tights have really helped to relieve the low back pain that I used to always get on long runs. A must buy!

Bought these tights for a half-marathon. I'm not a runner and I was looking for any extra support. I don't know if it was the tights, but I didn't have any pain or problems after the race. They looked and fit great.

One thing..I am 5'2, 105lbs. I have pretty thin legs, but the XS was too tight on the back of my knee (pinched it when I ran). I exchanged for the Small and it was perfect.
