Your quads, calves, and crotch get pretty hot and sweaty when you run. Thanks to mesh panels in the quads and calves, plus a coolmax gusseted crotch liner, the CW-X Women's Ventilator Tights help reduce heat fatigue on your spring and fall runs. The Ventilator Tights' Conditioning Web design supports the muscles and ligaments around the knee joint, and offers gentle support to both the medial and lateral head of the gastrocnemius in your calf. This means less injury and more circulation while you train. A UPF40-rated fabric in the Ventilator Tights protects against UVA and B rays.
Bottom Line: Say goodby to crotch, quad, and calf sweat.
These are so worth the money. it still has to be pretty cold for me to run in them which worked out well when i went running at 3am. I also use them as a recovery aid after bike races.
I will be running in hot weather. What do you think will keep me cooler- the ventilator tights that go down to the ankle or capri cwx tights (not ventilator)? Thanks!
The CW-X Ventilator tights were specifically designed for warmer weather. CW-X used Thermal imaging studies to see what parts of the leg get hottest during running in warmer weather. The hottest spots are around the quad because it is exerting a lot of energy during the run, and the calf muscle because it is behind the leg and does not get any airflow. So CW-X put vented mesh in those two areas of the leg in the Ventilator tight. I can tell you that by just cooling those two areas and allowing more airflow in the quad and calf, the entire leg feel more comfortable somehow. Since you get the most support out of the full length tights, I would recommend the Ventilator tight for warm weather. Good luck!
I love the effect of the pants, but the sizing seems very wrong to me. On the chart, I clearly fall into the "small" category, but I ordered "medium" just to be safe since I have long legs. Unfortunately, the pants are STILL too small. The length from the knee to the crotch is just too short, so at the beginning of every run, I find myself pulling the material up (at the thigh) over and over because the pants slide downward toward my knees. As I sweat a little, the pants stop sliding down me leg. But be aware before you pull that (nearly) $100 price tag off the pants that you may want to try them on and then return them for a larger size.
these fit perfect.. yes they are tight but they are compression tights and if you line them up with the knees the way they are suppose to be they are GREAT!!! I absolutely love the venting it makes them perfect. I bought some of the ones without the venting and could not wear them b/c my legs get sweaty. The ventilator tights allow enough air so that my legs don't sweat. I had alot of complements on how they look... they are really cool looking. I had to buy me another pair, so I could switch back and forth. Thanks for a GREAT IDEA (the venting) lets get some more colors..OK?
I bought these tights for my marathon training and I love them. They fit well, but tightly, however, that is the very point of these, they are COMPRESSION tights, and they do indeed compress. Wearing these for a 20 mile run, my recovery is shorter and my legs feel better while running. I think they are worth every penny.
The mesh is cooling, I don't think I could stand the regular tights because of the warmth.
On sizing, I was clearly a medium and that is what I ordered and it fits perfectly.
CW-X sizes are more like real panty-hose sizes and less like dress sizes. I am 5'9" and 130-135 pounds. I normally wear pants in sizes 4-6 long or small-tall/long etc. On the graph for CW-X tights, I fall on the leftmost side for the medium, and it fits well. If you can't make heads-or-tails of the sizing chart here on backcountry, go to CW-X's home page and look at theirs. It is the same information, just more graphical. You go by height and weight on the two axes and where they meet in the center is your size.
I bought recently 3 pairs of CW-X ventilatior tight because of a serious problems with legs and hips. I was involved in a car accident and I informed my doctor conerning the CW-X compression tights. He prescribed me 3 pairs which I wear evry day and take 85% of my pain aways. They are more then great for knees allignement, excellent compression for hip and lower back and give a really good feeling when you wear them. I would recommand those tights for all persons having health problem specially hips, knees and muscules wise. Don't hesitate, inform your Doctor, because they don't know about this product.
This isn't a review.. more a hope that the powers that be see this. Please make these in all black. also, 3/4 length and perhaps over the knee 6 or 7 inches! I have been looking for high quality warm weather compression shorts and tights for ages. but can't find anything, anywhere. I have 4 pairs of other cw-x tights and they rock but are way too hot for summer and warm weather.
