CW-X Stabilyx Tights - Men's

I am a 54 year old who has been running for 15 years. Wore these tights for a 1/2 marathon and felt they helped but don't expect miracles. In order to get them to fit I had to order a Large and feel a medium / tall would have fit better and offered more support. I am 5'11'' (33 inch inseam) and 180 lbs and ordered the large for my height.

I bought these tights to train for and hike the Continental Divide Trail. My knees have taken a beating over the years so after the first month of training for the CDT, I couldn't run. My knees hurt too much. After using the CW-X tights, I can run, hike, and cross train. I plan to wear them on the trail--I'll treat them with permethrin to prevent any tick-related illnesses. The Cool-Max fabric wicks moisture away from my skin while the integrated lower-body support really works. I would suggest selecting a larger size than normal; I am 5'8" and 165lbs (31 waist, 30 inseam), originally purchased a small, but the inseam from hips to knee was an inch short. I tried a medium, and they fit perfectly. I haven't found a comparible product anywhere. I'm glad I have them and strongly recommend them to others. I give the tights a 4 (not a 5) because they are a bit expensive.

I finally splurged and bought a pair of CW-X tights, and I can not believe what a difference they've made for skiing. Typically after a long day I'm sore in my lower back, but the phenomenal support given by the tights made a hard day at Alta seem like a breeze. The support given to the knees improves flex and stance as well. I highly recommend these for every skier. If you're wanting to save layers, get the insulated version of the tights.

I've heard about cw-x gear, but now, I can confirm that it's stable, comfortable and well designed

These tights are great for running and biking. They are breathable enough for a hot day but keep you just warm enough for a chilly morning. Though expensive, they are a worthy investment!

these tights are great for running, even in the winter. I have also used them for support for fly fishing wading. Support is superb. Lower back support is unbelievable. I definitely recommend them.

I did not believe that a pair of tights could make such a difference. But they really do. I trained all winter for a ultra marathon and these kept me warm without getting all sweaty. Supported my muscles and greatly reduced my fatigue. I could go for a bit less flashy looking design though.
