Ok, so I'm 6'1" and 185. Should I buy the women's large, (reviews say these run small) or a men's large? I often go to the men's because they usually run longer.

I would suggest the men's simply on what you said, they are longer. The womens inseams are much shorter.

Warm soft support!!

Just got back from a trail run on this cold fall day and I must say that I'm in love with these tights. The combination of warm soft material plus the snug support makes it feel like you are being hugged by a soft cuddly bear while your running. They are wonderful!!!

They've done it!

By:

Ever since buying the regular stabilyx tight, I've been praying for an insulated version for those really cold days. Now I have it! These are awesome and the windpanel in the front covers all the right spots. Definitely worth the money!

Help in deciding between size S or M and Stabilyx or Pro tights! I'm

Help in deciding between size S or M and Stabilyx or Pro tights!
I'm 5'5 and 125lb, and don't have such big hips or rear, but have big calves from running. The CWX sizing chart shows that I'm in the S range. I haven't tried the Stabilyx before, but I tried on a CWX 'Expert' tight in a store and found that S was really tight and uncomfortable behind the knees, and don't know how I'd be able to do my winter marathon training in these. I've never tried compression tights before, so maybe I'm not used to it. I felt the Expert M size tights were more comfortable than Small and still snug enough. I really want to get the perfect size since I plan to buy both the full and 3/4 length tights together (3/4 length for race day).. But just went to the CWX site and saw that the Pro tights are actually better suited for running than Stabilyx, and would help more with my nagging hamstring/glute ache - So I should actually be focusing on Pro tights instead?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You should definitely get the smalls. I am 5'10" 145 lbs and the mediums are great for me. The tights are supposed to be TIGHT. They should be difficult to get on and off. The difference between the stabilyx and the pro tights is the amount of knee support. The stabilyx is better for people with knee problems. Both tights have the same amount of hamstring support so either one would be good for you in that regard. Hope that helps!

CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tight

By:
November 4, 2009

I am a big fan of the Stabilyx Tight line. It's not because I am weak or old. It's the technology of the tight that make you endure for a longer and more strenuous training. The tight allows each leg muscle groups to have better circulation and with the insulation sensors, it keeps me running in very cold and difficult weather. I wish there is a top that have similar technology to keep me warm. In addition, it does vaporize the sweat from inside out. I especially love the knee wrap design, which stabilize the knee joints. The most unbelievable thing is that, some mornings I work out without it, then I put it on for evening training. The soreness from the morning workout goes away faster with the tight on. Try it & you will know what I am talking about.

Judging by your height and weight, I would strongly recommend sizing up and going with the medium. It's always tough when you are in between sizes, but I know the M will be a much better fit for you than the S.Actually, there is a review below of someone who owns the M and she is 5'9" 130 lbs and says the M fits her well. Hope this helps!

I like these running pants quite a lot. They perfect for running in a cold weather. I got size M which fits me well, 5'9" and 130lbs. Very helpful customer care support (I had a ? about th size, got the answer right away and change the size I had previously ordered). I'm hoping they last long...

Hi There. CW-X products are designed to hold up to normal use as either an outerlayer or a baselayer. All I can tell you is that I have been using the same pair of insulated tights for my third season already and the wear is minimal. CW-X construction is very good. and if you ever have any problems CW-X has a one year manufacturer's warranty. Hope this helps.

insulator Stabilyx tights (IST) are wonderful

By:
December 9, 2008

These insulator Stabilyx tights (IST) are wonderful. I have the non-insulated expert tights as well, which is very nice also, but I think I actually prefer the fit of the IST. I am 5'9" and 145 lbs, and i wear small in CW-X. Expert tights fit well, but I wished it was a (tiny) bit more snug. IST has a much more snug fit, hence it feels more supportive. In addition to being a little more snug, IST feels a little shorter than non-insulated Expert tights. I can make up for it with longer socks.

I went for an 8 mile run this morning at about 37 degrees though a hilly course and my legs definitely felt supported. In case there are many of you, like me, did not really understand how compression tights actually help your legs, let me tell you what my dad who is a MD told me. He said that when you get older, and when you run, a lot of the blood is collected in your legs, in the blood vessels (veins specifically), trapping with it things like lactic acid, Co2, etc that should return to the heart to be recycled. This is primarily caused by gravity. By strategically compressing certain parts of the legs, you are in effect reversing the downward gravitational pull of the blood, so that it does not gather stagnant in your legs. Apparently there are compression sleeves and socks for older folks who suffer from varicose veins, so the concept is not new.

Needless to say, after my 73 year old dad tried the IST, he is asking one for his birthday. He says he may just wear it around the house to keep his ankles from swelling.

I am not sure, but I would say that CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tight have the front panel windproof and you can wear them on their own in colder weather than CW-X Insulator Expert Tight.

hot stuff

By:
March 13, 2009

when I first put them on I felt like a stuffed sausage (and I am not fat) and immediately wanted them off. Tried on again the next day- wore them around the house and kinda started diggin the compression love. Wore them snowboarding- they are great! Warm base layer and compression kept the spring in my lower legs. I will definitely get another pair.

I got this for my wife and she loves it! It keeps her warm on the coldest days. She has used it on relatively mild days also with no complaints about over heating. Great product.

A must for endurance runners

By:
January 14, 2009

I love CW-X tights. I have the Pro Tights and the Insulated Stabilyx. They do definitely help prevent/delay fatigue on long runs. The insulated version are a bit warmer, but not much, which makes them great as you don't get to warm. I think it is the wind component that they are best for. Definitely, love CW-x products. I have the shorts also but it has been to cold to try them out. I believe the difference between the Pro and the Expert is that the Pro has back and abd support panels.

Insulator Stabilyx Tight Large

By:
November 25, 2008

They almost got five stars from me, they are neat looking, and overall very comfortable and warm. I just came back from a 1.5 mile (I'm a beginner!!) run in 32 degree farenheit in Manitoba, and I wore the tights alone, and was comfortable in that temp (they'll be fine for me for the sunny warm winter days I'm sure) My complaint is the Large that I bought based on my weight, is too long for my height (5'6). Now I only have a 30" inseam, so it's not uncommon for me. I'm only hoping that soon enough I can move to a smaller size, which hopefully will be closer to my height. At that point I want to try some of the uninsulated, as these are very good!
