Mens Cw-x Men's Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Sports Tights

These tights provide excellent support and are cheap to wear/walk in. Great if you have knee issues!

it fit great - i ordered another identical

As a trail runner and devoted fan of CW-X compression tights, these are high-quality compression tights that actually work and provide support for your legs and knees. The base fabric is very high quality with good overall elasticity and compression, and the overlaid material for the additional compression bands is thicker and helps provide additional structure in key areas. This is designed to function like Kinesio tape and I can attest that these really work and help me push through hard workouts and races. Like all the CW-X tights they are pricey, which is the main negative, but I've found that they last longer and provide better support than other options, which is the main point aside from just covering your body. Overall highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of picking up a pair of the CW-X Stabilyx compression tights at the start of the fall season (2012). So far they have functioned brilliantly. I love, love, love the feeling of extra support around the knees with their unique design. The longer waist is really nice. The only thing that would make this product better is if they had better support for 'the boys' similar to Skins cup design in the front of their compression. A little background, I am an ultrarunner who does 50-80 miles of running per week. I have used 2XU, Skins, Under Armor, and Sugoi compression products and these tights are superior by a long shot. I will be back to update how many miles I get out of this gear, but based on performance of other compression tights, I would expect 400-500 miles. UPDATE: I have now put just over 100 miles on these tights - my review still stands with the exception of long runs. I am going to dock a star because the seams on these tights are not flat and have a pretty ragged edge which will nearly cut your nuts in half on any run beyond 9-10 miles (and this is even with body glide applied liberally). So for short or medium length runs, these are great. If going further, look elsewhere for maximum comfort.

I have tried many running tights and compression pants over the past several years. One of the first I ever bought were from CW-X... And then I went off looking for a cheaper alternative, because I'm not made of money. Some of my other purchases were ok, some didn't maintain their compression, some sagged and wouldn't stay in place. While all of my other purchases were cheaper, many quickly found their way into the donation pile which meant I spent more money looking for the next option. Remember how I'm not made of money? So this purchase makes my third pair of CW-X tights, because investing in good equipment that takes care of you makes sense. So, let's talk about the good and the bad for a second. Good: lots of research has clearly gone into these tights. I'm used to kinesio tape as a means to support body function, and these tights work that same concept right into the fabric. You can feel the difference the moment you put them on. I can't speak to the exact percentage of increased performance, but the difference is something you can feel and that isn't something most pants can claim. Bad: well, let's be honest, these are pricey. Good, but on the high dollar amount is still an obstacle. While a good performance enhancing running tight is awesome it simply isn't necessary for 90% of the runners out there where "fine" would work just as well. Unless you compete, or you have some disposable income to toss around you can get away with good options at half the cost. My other, somewhat trivial, complaint is the lack of pockets. There is a rather small pocket much like you find inside a swimsuit, but it isn't real secure and forget carrying much more than a small key. My car keys are too big for the pocket and I don't have large electronic keys like my wife's car has. Many other running shorts and tights have a zippered pocket centered on the back at about the waistline. This option is secure, can be made big enough to carry an ID with you, and really doesn't screw with construction like side pockets since compression is still a goal here. If they added this feature they would be head and shoulders above the closest competition. All that being said, these are my favorite go-to tights for races and days when I need a little extra for a hard run. For that they overcome the couple minor setbacks and get a 5-star rating from me.

Have only worn these a handful of times. They are comfortable and definitely helped with the muscle soreness after a run. I washed warm and hung dry like the instructions say. Went to put them on today and they ripped. Now these very expensive tights are heading to the trash. Very disappointed and slightly pissed that I'm now put the cost of these.

The item seem to be made out of really good material however it ran extremely small in size

Fantastic support for old(er) runners knees and good compression of thighs and calves! With the exception of leg weight training, pick the right size and you will have at least as good support as rx knee braces. I have been wearing these so much have to get a 2nd pair to rotate!

CWX es calidad, recomiendo las mallas, ademas este modelo Stabilix viene mas moderno y con mas tecnología con el que compre hace algunos años, me gusta su compresión, los detalles, la combinación de color azul y gris con negro, en general. es un producto que recomiendo para quienes practican algún deporte, no solamente Running.

A little big to me as 168cm with size M

La compresión es bastante buena, la calidad ni se diga, muy resistentes

Muy buena calidad

La compresión no es como en productos anteriores que he tenido de la misma marca, misma talla menos compresión. Gracias
