Toss aside your old college logo gym sweats and pull on the CW-X Men’s PerformX Tight for your next run. This thoughtfully designed running tight stabilizes your hips, knees, IT band, and quads to improve alignment, circulation, and reduce fatigue. A Support Web applies gentle pressure to targeted circulation points to improve capillary action, which delays muscle fatigue and speeds up recovery. Flatlock seams and wicking Coolmax panels let you hit your stride in comfort, and reflective details add visibility on morning and evening workouts.
Bottom Line: Like a performance-enhancing drug. Except it’s a tight. So it’s legal.

Is it fit to use in the summer heat?

Hey Yves Langlois,
The CW-X Performx Tight - Men's can certainly be used in the summer. I have used the Stabilyx full length in the hotter times of the year, but I found it a bit stifling when the temperature gets above 85 degrees. We also carry the CW-X Stabilyx 3/4 Length Tight - Men's which will work better in really hot temps. I hope this answer helps.

I was the guy that didn't want to wear the tights, but after much reading into it, I finally decided to go for it. These have been life savers on the knees and helps me to run a lot longer and actually faster..may be in my mind but since i've gotten these, my endurance has stepped it up for sure

Im a runner/sprinter. I have a pair of the pro and a pair of the stablil-x that I wear to train in. The pros provide very good support for the hardest training, the stabilx for the lighter-focused training. What can you recommend for the real competition in a meet? Pros? Stabilx? These tights are the real deal.

Eric,
Thanks for your question. If you are looking for the top end of the CW-X family, check out the Revolution tight. There is a full length tight, and a brand new 3/4 length Revolution knicker that will be arriving for the Spring 2012 season. The Revolution series features seamless construction for the CW-X support web, opposed to how the web is constructed in the Pro and Stabilyx series. I hope this is helpful for you.

Never thought I would ever run in tights, until I bought these. Great for the colder days and offer support for your knees. I'm 6'1 and med. fit great.

We plan to give this as a gift to our nephew who currently wears a size 14 (boys) or youth large. Do you know if small falls as an equivalent? Thanks much.

Joyce- The CW-X sizing runs by height and weight. If your nephew is somewhere between 5'5 and 5'9 and somewhere between 130-150 lbs, he would be a size small.
Hope this helps.

While these are not a panacea for my IT band issues, with some dynamic stretching and foam rolling, I am almost pain free on runs up to a 1/2 marathon. I would recommend these to anyone with IT, hip, or quad issues. I often even wear them after a run for a few hours to help with my recovery. Awesome.
Would these work for bicycle riding in the winter?

Jeff- These will definitely work for you for Winter time riding. If you plan to be out in anything between 35 degrees and below, you may want to check out the Insulated version of the Versatx tight. The coolmax non insulated is best for anything above 38-40 degrees, etc.

Tights for Men

I am a manly man and these work nicely under some shorts for those cold mornings. I run every day so, it does not matter if the weather agrees or not. Running in the rain kept my legs warm and the water away from my body. The cold weather running improved as well. The tights feel cold when you start, but once you get the blood pumping you warm right up. I only have one pair so I save them for the extra cold days. I ran the Kansas City Marathon with them on and no chaffing whatsoever.

i am doing a race where i will be getting wet and muddy, do you think these tights would help in keeping me warm and wicking moisture away? the race will be in dc and will be about 18 miles long.
These tights look and sound like they would be very supportive.I
These tights look and sound like they would be very supportive.I am prone to wear tights out where my thighs rub against each other and need to replace them after two to three months of use. Is there a way to perhaps re - enforce them to make them last longer?

this isn't a perfect solution, but you could get some cheap military 'compression' shorts (they don't really compress, they're more for modesty I think) and wear them over the tights.

They run pretty close to the sizing chart listed above. If you are in between sizes, I'd go the size down.
