CW-X Insulator Stabilyx Tight - Men's
Bike/XC Ski Tight
By JohnJ
Ranked #311 - Men's Performance Tights
January 9, 2010
I use tights for running, XC skiing and biking. The CW-X has a very good feel compared to most tights. For running and XC skiing, I would wear long underwear if it is under 20 degrees F. They do not have very good wind resistance. I would not recommend for biking, because of the tight fit, it feels very restrictive wearing chamois padded compression shorts underneath them. My favorite tight for biking is a LG Oslo. They also provide a great feel when used as long underwear under a ski pant for downhill skiing.
Sizing - I am 5'10", 160 pounds and medium is a great fit. When I first looked at these I thought, "no way" they would fit, but the sizing chart appears to be correct.
