Poorly Placed Seams

By Backcountry.com Employee November 18, 2008

The CW-X Expert Tights are ok. They definitely work with their function and they do support muscles well. I don't know how much joint support they provide but they definitely provide support to your quads in particular. The main complaint that I have with these is the way they are stitched. The seams on the inside are quite overdone and poorly placed. I found chafing after only a 5 mile run. I really can't imagine what they would be like for a longer run. I do wear them under my bike shorts for late season mountain biking and they work well for this need. I debated between these and the insulator and I am glad that I went with these. I tend to be warm any way particularly during aerobic workouts and these work well for temps down to the mid 20s. The Insulated might be a bit much for all but the coldest temps.
