Using Kinesiology-based design, CW-X created the Revolution tight to give you performance without compromise. These ultra-lightweight performance tights provide targeted support to the knee, joint, hips, quads, glutes, lower back, hamstring and calves to improve your strength and endurance. The Revolution also reduces impact to the knee joints by helping ligaments and muscles band together.
Hey There. For specific core support, the Stabilyx Tight is best. It has a lower back support panel along with a front lower ab support panel. This combination with hip support gives the best all around core support. Good luck!
great for recovery. good support for some activity. agree with others, there seems to be resistence when used for sports. comfortable to wear once used to it.
alfredo, Thanks for your question. The Revolution would be a great next to skin choice for a ski tight. I ski in the Stabilyx model, and have not gone back to anything else based on it's performance. One item to note is that the Revolution is not insulated. Keep that in mind as to how much you may need to layer on the bottom. I hope this is helpful for you.

Doubles as performance and recovery. Very breathable. Very tight and hard to put on. Great for support, but due to resistence of the material, requires strenous effort for the same performance.
Why is the Revolution so much more than the other CW-X tights? My wife and I are hiking into the Grand Canyon and back out with full packs and need the best CW-X product for the job. Our time to hike is mid-Feb, 2011, but thermal issues are not our 1st concern. Best support for 50-something thighs and knees, please!
Paul, Thanks for your question. The reason the Revolution tight from CWX is more than the other products they offer is the way the Revolution tight is built. The CWX support web in the Revolution is seemlessy built into the tight, while the web in the other tights is a sewn on panel construction. The Revolution is their top product for performance. If it is a bit too expensive for you, check out the Stabilyx family. There are both insulated and non insulated options there. The Stabilyx is also an outstanding product for muscle support and recovery. I hope this is helpful for you.
If you plan to use the Revolution tight as an external layer for Running in colder weather for example, they will be too cold. In terms of thermal properties, they are a little thinner and cooler than the Coolmax version of the tights. The CW-X Revolution Tight is perfect for early fall running where it's cold in the shadows but warm in the sun. For use below 40 degrees, I would recommend the Insulated line of CW-X tights. Or you can layer the Revolution tights under a pair of Wind blocking pants. That would still give you the support of the tight, but will protect you from colder weather.
Not specifically, In really cold weather, it could work as a layer. But It's actually 14% lighter than other tights. For cold weather, CW-X has their Insulator line, that may interest you more.
