I'm 6 foot 4 and 182 lbs training for my first marathon and we're doing long 10+ mile runs early morning in the cold Virginian air. Will these work for me and should I get a large or x-large? I'm also interested in these, because I've had alot of knee problems in the last couple of years and I'm at a young age. Also, what is the difference between the CW-X stabilyx and CW-X INSULATED stabilyx?

Adrian- Based on your height and weight, you are really between Large and XL. However, if you have big legs and hips I would go for the XL. If you have skinny legs, you can go for the large and you will have a gap between the bottom of the tight and your ankle area which is fine. Also, if most of your height is in your upper body, go for the large. The CW-X Stabilyx tight is a non insulated Coolmax material that wicks moisture very well but will not protect you against cold wind for example. The Insulated Stabilyx Tight is made of a slightly thicker material called Auto Sensor that is more thermal in cold temps. They also have a stretch wind blocking panel on the quads to protect from cold wind. The supprt system in both the non insulated Stabilyx tights and the Insulated version is the same. Good luck with your Marathon training.
