CW-X Expert Tight - Men's

Item #CWX0001 | 64 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Former skeptic, now a believer!

By Ranked #372 - Men's Performance Tights December 22, 2008

Initially I was skeptical regarding the premise behind the CW-X product line. Eventually, I decided to purchase the Expert tights and one of the CW-X long sleeve tops.

I have been wearing both products during my cold weather runs and downhill skiing. They have made a believer out of me!

These tights look well-made to my eye, and the material feels good against my skin. They do a good job of moderating temperature underneath my outer shell. I feel as though my stamina holds up better during activity, and I feel much less wear and tear the next day.

So why only 4 stars? I do have a small issue with the length of these tights. I am 5'7", 175 and I wear these in men's S. Even at that size the knee cutouts tend to ride a bit low. I can control this somewhat by bunching the fabric in the thigh area.

I second this. I am also 5'7", and 170lb, and cannot, for the life of me, get these tights to stay put with the compression bands in the optimal locations. I love the tights, but I find myself yanking them back up my legs about every 1/2 mile (running).
