I now own 3 pair of CW-X compression deals. I have the shorts, the capris, and now these. These are great for winter running, and the support they give makes a Huge difference in recover from longer runs. Just remember that these are the lighter side of support for compression.

I'm 5'5", 165lbs and bought the medium, so I was initially intimidated by the fit of these tights. However, when I realized it was like putting on stockings they were perfect. "Don't be scared ladies"... It's like putting on your favorite skinny jeans and realizing hey I can really fit these.

I have had these Compression pants for almost a month now and I fell in love with them from day one. I'm 5'7, 140lbs and athletically built. I ordered a size small and was very concerned when I opened the package. At first glance they look like a pair of skinny pants my 10 year old niece would wear! But once I pulled them on (not as difficult as I thought it would be) they fit like a dream! These pants are an enormous help in muscle & joint control. Before using these I had pain in my knees and my quads, hamstrings and calfs would get tired and sore fairly quickly. I use these for every run, plyometric and HIIT training. I no longer have an inner battle of feeling like I have to stop my training because of pain & fatigue in my legs while the rest of me still has the stamina to keep going! They also keep my body temperature perfectly regulated while wicking moisture away. All in all, I couldn't give these a higher recommendation!

Being bootylicious has no place in running, well not when it moves. Love these pants because they hold everything in place and keep my lower body from fatigue due to unnecessary movement. My posture/form remains where it should. These are the Spanx of running tights.

I've never worn compression tights until this purchase. To be honest, it took an act of god (perhaps the running god?) to get into them. There are instructions on the package stating how to put them on, but quite frankly, the scene in the house was like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit. Anyway, I am 5'2", 125 lbs, cycled for years, enjoyed microbrews for years (with no cycling), and consequently have fairly thick legs. Based on the opinions here, I bought a medium and am happy that I did. They were a tad binding around the back of the knees, but I have to admit, they felt good while running and my knees felt better when done. They were a little long for me, but hobbitses aren't known for their fairy-like legs. I'll defintely be purchasing another pair.

I was skeptical at first, but am really pleased with how these tights feel and fit and perform. The sizing chart is perfect, I got the XS and I am 5'1 and 118lbs. They even look fantastic. The price was really good too. You will not be disappointed.

I bought these pants for my mom for skiing, and she's really happy with them. They fit tightly, but that's what's needed to get the support. She has a few friends who also love the CW-X line for skiing.

These are the best. I wouldn't want to run without them. Looking to buy the 3/4 length for the warmer season.

I have previously purchased XW-X Insulator Expert tights and they were phenomenal! I decided to buy the Performx and check it out. I am 5'1" and XS on the Insulator fit perfectly, so I ordered the same size for the Performx. Unfortunately, when they arrived, I could barely pull them past my thighs. They were a lot smaller!

I'd highly recommend you try them on at a sports store before purchasing online!

I should have gotten a size bigger. I'm 5'9" and have a large athletic build (i'm a rower). I ordered a Large. I got these for running and rowing in cold weather. Although the fact they are so tight is very flattering, within a couple months the crotch of my tights busted.They are also short, inches above the ankle short. I've been compromising for months now but have recently decided to see if CW-X will take them back under warranty... I want a new pair though, they're awesome!

I am 5.8 and 130 pounds. According to the site's sizing I should have bought size S, whcih I bought. Pants are really really small and short. I am going to buy size M, hope it will be fine.

I think it all depends on how you are built - I'm also 5'8 and 140 lbs but I'm wearing an XS and it's fine... snug but fine. I'm typically a size 4 in pants.

I have had many leg injuries and broken bones. So when I exercise I suffer later for it! But since I wore this tight I have no problem with my legs. I have been skiing all day for 4 days in a row, not only I feel great but the day after my muscles are not sore. I am planning to buy another one.

I live in Chicago and up here it's pretty damn cold. Although the pants fit well (I'm 5'3" and weigh 130lbs, size small) and are very comfortable to run in, with the whipping wind and below freezing temps, I still need to where another pair of pans on top of my CW-X Performx Tights if I wanna stay warm.

I am 5'5" and between 160 and 165lbs on...

I am 5'5" and between 160 and 165lbs on any given week - taken up running recently and looking at getting these tights. The sizing chart says Medium, but I am not really sure - any ideas?

Just to give you some perspective, I am 5'2" and about 115lbs. I am small-framed and wear the CW-X Performx Tighst in size xs. The tights fit me snugly, but not uncomfortably. The length is maybe a half-inch to an inch longer than I need, but it doesn't bother me. I recently wore them for a 10K and I felt they gave me good support, yet did not restrict my movements in any way. Hope this helps. :-)

I was skeptical about these at first... especially since my size was quoted at XS! Once I finally got these on I felt like I was in heaven when I was running NO MORE IT PROBLEMS!

I am 5'2" and about 110lbs...will the XS...

I am 5'1" and 120 pounds and the XS fits me a tiny bit snugly so I would say FOR SURE XS would work for you!

I am 5'2" about 115lbs and small-framed. I bought the tights in xs and they fit me well. Unless you have super massive legs, I'm sure the tights will fit you, too.

Hey there!
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs, there is no way the XS would have fit me, but it might work for you. The size small fits me perfectly. They are a bit difficult to get on, but that is how these tights are meant to perform.

I am 5'7" and about 135 lbs. Would the medium work for me? I don't want the crotch to ride down as I am running, but I am thinking the small may be a bit too small. Also, what is the inseam for these? Thanks!

I had thoroughly enjoyed a pair of the CWX shorts so I was excited to try the full length pants. Got the same size as I wore comfortably in the shorts - Medium - but they were too big. I'm 5'6" 150 curvy/athletic build. The waist is extremely long and they fell down in the crotch even when I hiked the waistband up super high. I wore them for runs up to 18 miles but was constantly having to pull them up and eventually I tore a hole in the crotch from all the yanking. Had to return and try another brand with a lower rise (and a smaller size) :(
