These are perfect for winter running. Supportive. Warm. Comfortable.

Had planned on using these for alpine skiing. Liked the idea of the support and help with keeping muscles fresher. However, the lack of a fly made these tights a no-go (literally) for me....would cetainly purchase if they did.

Never thought I'd say that. I used these under my ski pant for 3 days of skiing and my legs lasted longer and recovered faster. Highly recommend.

These tights feel good, fit well, and keep me warm even between 0 and 32 degrees F. Legs do feel good during and after the run so there is something to the support of these tights.

In fact I wouldn't be seen in them, so I got a nice light mist rain pant to go over this Robin Hood redux. I was convinced that these would work by the other reviewers, and they do. I get the workout without the fatigue. They are amazing.

They don't slide on like a normal pair of tights. It takes an extra minute or two. However, well worth the time spend putting them on. Legs have less fatigue after long runs. On runs with temps <45 they keeps the leg at the right temperature, blocks the wind and wicks away the sweat. Size is right on IAW sizing chart. After dozens of washing, using the manufacture care instruction, they still perform, as they were new.

I like these except that the there is a terrible seem in the crotch. I would not purchase again.

Got a pair the other day and just went for a run in them. It was sunny and 25 degrees with a light breeze. These were perfect. Very comfortable and toasty warm. I would guess I will be happy wearing just these for another 10-15 degrees of wind chill. Came home from the run and ordered another pair.

I have been running in the CW-X Pro shorts for two years (and four marathons) and I love them.

Bought the insulator tights for winter and they work perfectly except that the fly area is not windproof--a bit too much ventilation right there if they are worn as a single layer in 20F weather.

I bought the CWX insulated tights and the CWX insulated top. I love them for cycling in the cooler weather here in California in the winter. They also seem to have cut some time off a benchmark climb that I do. They sure don't hurt.

I haven't tried them skiing yet but hope to do that in about a week.

I had heard that these running tights were supposed to help you experience less fatigue and help you recover faster. I couldn't believe that tights could do that. Well, they can. I have increased my runs from 6 miles to 8 miles and I actually feel better at the end of the longer run. I can also run every other day now instead of every three days. These things are incredible!

These are a fantastic pair of tights for running or cross-country skiing in cold climates. I can run outside at minus 20 Celsius in these and it won't be my legs holding me back. The pro tights do offer better support, but are not nearly as warm. A great baselayer for the alpine as well.

Perfect fit without the feeling you're wearing a "boa constrictor". On frigid windy days bicycling I can fit the Brynje net long underwear underneath these with no problem and am impervious to the cold. As comfortable as your own skin and your legs will feel great after miles of biking. Buy them!
P.S.: I'm less wild about the top for fit or insulation.

They do keep my legs at acceptable temperatures whenever the OAT is between 15 and 50 F. I'm not sure about the support...maybe my legs are two skinny to create required compression. The lack of a fly does keep me from wearing them under my shell for snowboarding.

These are amazing. Warm, but not hot, and they fit perfectly once I figured out I needed a size large so they would be long enough in the legs crotch to knee length.
