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!

Hi Emma- 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!
