I have checked the size charts. I am a 5'10" female, 180lb, with large legs (I lost 100 lbs, and my legs are still large with excess/baggy skin). Per the size chart, i would fit in the women's Large. however I often find that women's sizes just don't fit well on my frame. Womens clothes, even "tall" sizes tend to be too short, and the rise (crotch to waist) also tends to be too short.
I am thinking of getting the men's large or x-large.
My question is how does the cut of the men's tights compare to the cut of the womens? are they basically the same, but men's have longer inseam? (great!) or do men's have even a shorter rise (crotch to waist)?
Thank you for any insight on the clothing design comparison between the men's and women's versions of these tights.

Hi There. That's a tough one. CW-X products are anatomically designed to specifically fit Men's or Women's frames. However at this time CW-X is not making a Women's XL which is probably the size that you need. My wife is 5'11 and she wears our Men's Large size. The CW-X Performx tight would work best for you because it is not as essential to get the knee cap in the right place like it is in The Stabilyx Tight for example. In the performx tight, you will get good support and targeted compression on the sides of the knees, the quads, hips, and IT band. They are great tights. I would try the men's Large and see how they feel.
