Thanks to insulated support and a windproof panel, the CW-X Men's Insulator Stabiliyx Tights keep your legs comfortable and your muscles warm. This helps your performance on long cold-weather runs and cross-country ski treks. As you heat up, the Auto Sensor fabric sucks moisture away from your skin so you don't get cold, clammy legs, and the windproof thigh panel blocks chilly winter and spring gusts. CW-X's Conditioning Web technology specifically supports your lower back, hips, butt, quads, hamstrings, and calves, so you can run longer and faster.
Bottom Line: You won't dread cold-weather runs when you wear CW-X's Insulator Stabiliyx Tights.
I am looking for a base layer tights/pants to keep warm while working as a contractor in the cold weather. What do you suggest. Do any of them have a fly built in.
I am 5'8" and 185lbs and I was wondering if any one out there has had a problem with the tights not staying in place? I have a pair of the pro tights and they ride down and need adjust more often than I would like, but, I like the leg support they offer, I am interested in something insulated for my winter time fun and I am trying to decide between these or the 3/4 length tights???
I've used these tights for both running and skiing hard. Running in cold weather is always bad on the knees and the support given by the cross banded design around the knees and into the calves was super-supportive and I found my knees to warm up a lot faster and not begin to ache while running in the cold. At the same time the support still allowed blood flow and was un-restricting. Also, I found the muscle support great and my legs seemed to fatigue a lot less. I also wear these skiing. After a day of hard skiing through moguls, powder, and crud my knees and quads are usually quite taxed and turn to spagetti. However, in support though the knees, I went well into the afternoon not having remembered I even had the things on. I didn't fatigue and was able to keep shredding well into the afternoons which is usually when I'm camping out in the lodge eating some grub to recover before a few last runs. These tights worked quite well as a base layer but seemed to retain moisture a little longer than I would have liked. I found these tended to absorb the sweat instead of dispersing it and the thick seam between the legs created discomfort on a few occasions. Other than that, all in all I would highly recommend these to anyone who's used to hammering their knees hard day in and day out. I'd use these for snowshoeing, cross-country, alpine, or backcountry skiing, and running and possibly cycling if worn over a padded cycling short. I think CW-X has done a great job with all the research they've put into these tights and think they're well worth the price.
Looking for something to run in PA during the winter/fall months. I am debating between the Insualtor Stabilyx and the regular version. Generally running in the 20-40 degree range with some winds. I don't want to be peeling them off like a sauna suit...anyone have advice? Also, I'm 5'9 currently 178 or so...guessing a medium on the size???
Kevin- I would definitely go with the Insulator Stabilyx tight. The material itself is a Nanotech fabric that regulates heat close to your skin depending on temperature. For example, if you are out in the AM for a run and it's 30 degrees outside, the material will form a thermal layer and prevent heat from escaping until you reach about 78 degrees at your skin surface. This is the optimal temp for muscle performance. Then the material will stat releasing heat and keeping you at that level point. So the tights don't feel hot. Also, there is a wind blocking material on the quads which is great if the cold PA winds pick. I think you will be really pleased with the Insulator Stabilyx. Plus if you ski, you can use it as a base layer for skiing. I would go with a medium for the size. Good luck.
Hi there, I would like to know what temperature these tights would be ideal to wear in. I am debating between these ones and the Stabilyx insulator tights. I am from Toronto, Ontario in Canada. Also I would like to know is there any difference other than insulation between the Stabilyx and the Stabilyx insulator.
I am an alpine skier and am interested in these tights. Should I go for the Insulator Stabilyx Tight or the Insulator Expert Tight. It seems that the primary difference is that the Stabilyx tight provides back support whereas the Expert does not. The primary reason I am buying is for muscle support for my legs to reduce fatigue during long days on the mtn. Do both models offer comperable leg muscle support? Which is best for this purpose? If your answer is the Stabilyx, do you expect to get any more in stock at any time? Thanks
i have the insulator expert, and i have to say, those things are REALLY warm. i wish i had the non insulated versions. i couldn't imagine skiing in them with a shell over the top unless it's literally well below zero AND you're sitting on ultra long/slow chairlifts. i use mine for trail running when it's in the 30s and 40s. (no additional layer/shell). good product
I am 5'10" and 195lbs. I've found that I'm usually hotter than others and sweatier during the same activities. I was trying to decide between these and the non-insulated version. I was hoping to get something that would work year round in salt lake city and offers support since I have knee troubles. What size and version. Also, a top that would work for fall winter spring running?
Personally I would go with the non-insulated tights. They have great support. In case you haven't lived in SLC long, we don't have near the winters that we use to so I wouldn't worry about an insulated tight anymore. I would go with the large if I were you but you may consider running out to the retail store and trying them on. Those folks are great! As for a top, You should check out a few of the tops made by backcountry.com. Try the Rime pullover. It's a killer top for running in anything except hot!Hope that helps.
I'm 5'6" and 150 pounds and have never bought a tight. I am looking for a tight primarily for running in temperatures between 0 and 50 (Fahrenheit). Based on the bit that I've read, a small size Insulator Stabilyx Tights seem like the best of CWX labels. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
Small should work fine, I'm 5'8 150 and the medium is just a little big on me. If you want one tight for all seasons then the CW-X Stabilyx Tight may be a better option - in really cold conditions I use the stabilyx as a baselayer under a wind/waterproof pant, works good in the spring too or when mountain running.
Write your question here...You are out of stock so my question is can I order it today and when they come in you will ship for free? Also I am six feet one inch and weigh 160 and have a pair of the unisulated tights and they are tight. Sould I get a large?
The CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tights are ideal for any cold weather activity; and yes these would also work well as a high performance under layer for snowboarding plus the Conditioning Web technology stabilizes the knee joint without restricting movement.
