I'm 6'5" 1/2" and 220, but I don't have thick thighs, nor do I care that they are long enough. Chart says I should be an XL, but I am afraid it would be too loose, not enough compression. My waist is 32" and last time I measured, thigh is about 24" at thickest. Help! What size should I get? Everyone seems to say size DOWN if you're unsure, whereas the CW-X size chart states the opposite.

Hi,
My name is Caio, I'm from Brazil and I'm really interested in your Stabilyx Tight products!
Well, as I far away from a retailer, I can't try the product to know my exact size, so, I really need your help.
I'm a 1.77m high and 79/80kg guy. In a normal jeans my normal measures are W31" - L31/32"!
Would the small size fit me?
Regards,
Caio

I would recommend a Small for really tight compression and a Medium if you want a normal fit.

Michael Johnson
Member since
I have been practicing hot yoga for two years and have been looking for the perfect short. Needless to say with the vigor of Bikram yoga, coupled with the heat (105 degrees) and humidity (68 percent) no short seems to hold up. I have tried swimmer's jammers and other various types of shorts with no success. Do you think these would be an option? Do you think they handled the movement, heat, and humidity? Thanks for your input.
DeskDriver
Member since
Michael,
Thanks for your question. I too have practiced Bikram Yoga and understand the stress the "hot room" can put on your clothing. You could give the Expert or Stabilyx tight a try for this application. If you are looking specifically for a short, opposed to a full length tight, look at the CW-X Pro Short or the Stabilyx Ventilator Short. I would probably suggest the Stabilyx Ventilator short for your purposes. I hope this is helpful for you.

I've run multiple mud/obstacle races, including Mudder & Spartan Beast w/ the Ventilator - they performed great, no issues with chafing & dried off quickly. Ran Beast a few weeks ago in them & they were a great addition - 47 degrees & rain to end & my legs were never cold once outside of the water

Dan, for a snug compression fit I would buy size Small and for a little less compression I think you could wear the Mediums.
Awesome to help prevent fatigue / soreness
gen4662781

I have used these tights for alpine skiing and really can say they have made my legs fatigue a lot less. After a long run, top to bottom, my legs sometimes feel a little tired but never sore like they were before wearing the tights. I just don't get that burn from working the quads, calves, and hamstring after a long hard run.
I have heard of people wearing them after events to help recover and prevent lactic acid build up but I've never tried them after, only during...
They are also great if you get sore from standing on cold concrete for a lengthy time. I have worn them to watch many a winter little league game when it's cold on the bench but standing makes you sore, these tights really help.
They are not thermals so if you're in extreme cold, wear an extra layer. if you're warm like me, they do just fine! Be sure to use the tie at the top to keep them from sliding down as nobody likes that "plumber action" :-)
I have had 2 different sizes of tights and like the smaller size more. If you're in between sizes go smaller as they seem to provide even more support and relief when they're a little tighter.
great support

these tights really provide great support where you need it and eliminate most of muscle soreness after a hard day on the snow - worth the extra buck

Hey
I'm a crossfitter if you will. If your not sure what that is. Its a cross between powerlifting, gymnastics,strongman and some endurance running or rowing most times. Well these REALLY aid in my recovery process???
Gabe H.
Member since
I own these. i don't feel they aid in recovery, they just aid in muscle support during workouts which may help a bit with fatigue. Does less muscle fatigue mean quicker recover? i guess so, but you will have to try for yourself. they are also very warm, so it needs to be about 48 or less to wear them outdoors during running. your best bet for faster recovery is to ingest a protein/carb blend sports during your workouts such as accelerade. i run trail races and triathlons, and protein sports drinks make massive difference in revovery for me.

I hike the Grand Canyon each year during Memorial weekend. I am interested in using these tights for the support they provide but am concerned about using these in 100 degree weather. Can you use these tights in hot weather and not over heat due to these tights?
James Morgan
Member since
Tights will be very warm, Consider using 3/4 version.
Let 'er rip
Shaun
Member since
On the 5th time wearing these tights as I was pulling them on, they tore through the material (not along the seem, but the material itself). I double checked that I had the right size for my height and weight (which I did) and I double checked that I was putting them on the way the instructions stated (which I was). I called Backcountry and they immediately sent out a replacement pair of tights. In the 4 times I had worn these tights before they ripped, I had done speed work and an 8-miler in 30-40 degree temps without any chaffing. They felt great. I look forward to testing this replacement set and am hoping that it was just an anomoly. In any case, I was extremely impressed with Backcountry.com.
replaces knee supports
pjl3205893
Member since
I had arthroscopic operations on both knees and have been wearing ace supports on each knee. So far these tights have been fine for runs up to 7 miles in place of the supports. Will try longer distances when I get more confidence in them

Richard Gross
Member since
I have a pulled hamstring and want something to wear under ski pants to minimize risk of re-injury. Also, is this appropriate to use with a compression bandage. Thanks
Gabe H.
Member since
Richard, i own these pants as well as the 3/4 length and I sized mine so they fit very tight -the 3/4 are much better for ski boots. I don't think the tights themselves will aid in preventing injury, but if you wrap in addition, you might get the additional support you're looking for, and depending on how you wrap, you can probably wrap either under or over the tights. One warning, I find the tights very warm, so it would have to be pretty cold to comfortably wear these under ski pants in any temperature over about 25 degrees. Cheers, and good luck.
So far so good!
robert.h.l1039707
Member since
I've run several 6-12 mile runs in these since I got them, and so far am definitely satisfied. Most of my runs have been in mid/high 30 degree tempature range. They allow a good amount of insulation, while still allowing wicking during my runs.I was a bit of a skeptic on the knee support of the fabric, but I have to say, it has been a comfortable improvement.

cre3560407
Member since
I recently bought a pair of these tights and am astounded with the results they have provided. However, the knee portion of the tights rides down, and I am thinking that I have the wrong size. Is there any truth in my hypothesizing? If so, do I need a smaller or larger size? I currently have a medium, and I weigh 158 at 5'9.
Thanks ahead of time! I will leave a review once I get my issues straightened out.
OLEG- CW-X Rep
Member since
Hi There. The CW-X Support tights are designed to stretch and fit a range of height and weights. In your case, I would recommend a size Small due to the 5'9 height. I am 5'11 and 175 and I wear a Medium. Hope this helps.
So so
I_run_far
Member since
I have had the tights for 7 months now, I wore them this past Sunday for a 50 mile race it was cool (50ish) and rained most of the 11+ hours. Today is Tuesday and the boyz are not happy with the tights. If you get the chance take a look at the stitching in the crouch and ask yourself if your boyz would like to hang with that much extra material for a long period of time. That being said maybe I should have lubed the boyz more or something, but they did a great job with keeping me warm when I was cold.

What sort of tights would be suitable for golf to wear under trousers where the golfer is looking to get some support for sore knee joints
cre3560407
Member since
These CW-X Expert Tights have excellent knee support. That was the first thing that caught my attention on my first run. They are also insulated enough to provide a comfortable temperature in probably any condition you would dare play golf in. (my runs so far have been in 30-50 degree weather and the insulation is perfect)
OK
mer3032626
Member since
Although I'm a runner, I got these mainly for skiing because I strain my adductors and VMOs pretty regularly, and my PT suggested them. They inhibit proper form in the bumps if you're a serious skier so I wouldn't suggest them for that. I have run with them and they felt pretty good, but I didn't notice any huge effects. Too hot for summer running. I'll try them next season on tele-skis.
Best Purchase Yet!
Beaverbowman
Member since
I am a novice runner who will be running in my first marathon later this year. I bought these to see if the really did help with leg muscles.
I've been using them for about a week now and I have found that they do make a difference. I have only used them on shorter runs, but my legs feel far less sore when I am finished than before I bought these. It has been in the high 30's and low 40's when I was using them and I found them to keep me at a very good temperature while I was running.
As far as the fit, they feel great. I am 5'10" and weigh somewhere between 145-155 lbs. I ordered the medium and have had no problems with slipping, or feeling too tight. I would recommend these for anyone who gets soreness in their upper legs after running.
