CW-X Insulator Stabilyx 3/4-Tight - Women's - 2010 BCS

I just wore these in my half marathon and loved them! I wore them during my 12 miler and since it was cool today, I wore them for the half. It is the first colder half I have done without having IT band issues. I do not know if it is due to the tights or not, but they seemed to help. They are warm enough to wear in 40-50 degrees, any colder and I will wear the full length ones of the same design.
I wasn't sure of the size, so I chatted online with a rep from backcountry and he assured me the xs would work for me, and he was right, they do! (I just wouldn't want anyone watching me put them on :)
I have the 3/4 and the full length and love them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for cold weather gear.

Oh, yeah! Loving my tights. I'm using them for downhill skiing and I definitely feel the advantage of compression. My legs feel much less fatigued and the 3/4 length is so much less bulky. On cold days though, they aren't as warm as my Patagonia Capilene layer.

I am prone to knee problems, I wear these all the time and they feel great and my knees are fine! I cannot / will not run without them. I use an XS for the uninsulated tights, but in these, because they "give"less, I had to use a Small.

I would have kept these except they bunched up at the backs of my knees, creating unwanted pressure there. This is definitely not desirable for the circulatory system in your legs.

I tend to get fatigued around my knees when skiing -- I don't know how these tights work, but I can ski longer and recover better with the compression they offer. They also work as a great base layer and provide a degree of warmth -- I was concerned that I might need another layer between these tights and my pants, but I was plenty warm without one.

After reading the other reviews, I went by the size chart and while they are hard to put on, I can see why they need to be (so they give the support). They seem to fit fine.

I am a 46 year old female beer league racer (12 handicap) and I have to say that these longies were sweet. I felt very strong and stable while skiing/racing in them -- not entirely due to the product probably but certainly they offered something -- and this is what I was hoping for. I want to be able to ski with my ski pants (powder pant style) w/o wearing a GS suit yet still having that tight feeling around my lower body -- and it worked!

I purchased the CWX insulator stabilyx tights for a ski trip to Summit County, Colorado.These tights were perfect in every way! Warm enough for the brisk 16 degree mornings. Moisture-wicking and not too warm for the afternoons. Very supportive- my legs did not get tired, even though this was my first ski trip of the year, and I skied at least 4 hours a day for 5 days straight.
I like the capri length as I don't like my base layers tucked into my ski boots. These capris are thin enough to wear under jeans as well, without a lot of bulk. The waist sits a couple of inches below the belly button.
Slightly pricey- but quality is not cheap, and in this case, you get what you pay for.

These tights are awesome, they offer great support, I specially like the support they offer in the back and the belly. They are warm but if you are in warm weather they are cool enough. I totally recommend them, they worth every cent!

Picture it.....22 degrees...my first ever run below 32....only a little bit of sun.....it was awesome!!! I almost never run in the winter time or really when it is below freezing and do my cardio inside or hike a lot when skiing instead of running. I always thought the chicks outside running when it's cold were totally nuts! No more!!!!

Awesome tights! I was a little cold at first and was worried as I left my house but after about 1 mile I was pleasantly warm! I had put on shorts on top of these and didn't really need them. Considering I do not run much in the winter, the support of these tights was amazing. I ran 3.5 miles right out the door (well jogging really, I don't really run).

The fit was snug but comfortable, I was worried at first since they looked so small. I am 4 foot 11 and in the winter am a bit heavier, but the XS was right on. My knee which gives me trouble when I run did really well and tonight I feel terrific!

I would recommend these tights and the pink stitching is totally cute. I will say though, that having super short legs like myself since I am so short, to line up the knee support I had some bunching of the fabric on my thighs. I don't think there's much I can do, I'm just really short.
