CW-X Insulator Stabilyx 3/4 Tights - Men's
Not Thrilled...

Ranked #299 - Men's Performance Tights
December 26, 2009
I originally purchased the full length tights but they were uncomfortable inside my ski boots so I sent them back and switched to the 3/4 length. The length is appropriate but unfortunately the 3/4 design just doesn't seem to provide anywhere near the same level of knee support (which is what I was looking for to support my knees through a long day of tele turns...). There is also a thick seam that runs up the middle of the pants which I found to be uncomfortable when I tried to use them for running. The tights are very warm and seem to wick moisture well but the lack of a fly is a bit of a pain when skiing.
Overall, I don't think the marginal increase in knee support is worth the discomfort of wearing these all day.
