Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

These are the best running tights--have been wearing this brand for years now and have been pleased with all the different styles!

I'm 5'7 130lbs and I wear a small. They fit amazing my only complaint is they are shorter than i would like them to be. I wish they were an inch longer. I recommend the small because they provide awesome compression. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the athletic part is getting these pants on!! once you get them on you won't be disappointing. I've had 2 hip surgeries and these are the only pants I can run in. I have also noticed that my recovery time while wearing these is significantly faster than when I wear my usual lululemon pants.

Love these pants! They are flattering and make my legs not feel as sore/tired after I run. They are worth every penny I spent on them even though I was scared at first to spend so much on running pants. I am typically a walmart or kohls kind of girl on those things but not anymore. I am getting another pair because I wear this 1 pair all the time.

I always wanted to try this tights because saw a lot of people wearing it during races. Finally I got them. Running is much easier now. But recovery is completely different. It took me 3 days to feel normal after first time wearing them for 1/2 marathon. I am gonna keep them anyway. They are very comfortable and stylish.

All throughout high school I was a three season athlete, now just trying to continue staying in shape in college. I have very bad knees from tearing me both of my ACLs and continual tendinitis; however, these have extreme comfort and have help supported my knees. I'm 6 foot, 165lbs and wear a size medium. They are supposed to be tight for the support to actually work, very comfortable in a medium

I love these tights! I've been wearing CW-X Stabilyx tights in all different lengths for 5 years, and I cannot run in anything but these. They have held up well, even my pair that I have sewn twice on one knee due to falls on trails, etc. I would highly recommend these for anyone that needs that extra support.

These are very stylish and comfortable tights. They are difficult to put on (at least the first few times), but that's due to nice, thick fabric that works as a compression sock all over your legs. And you can be sure that if you bend forward, these tights will not be see-through. However, I would recommend going one size up from your regular size. In addition to being very functional, these tights look great with any running shirt thanks to rainbow color lines.

I love these tights. They have great compression for protecting the muscles and look good too! I am most comfortable in a size medium and I'm 5'7 and weigh about 128 with athletic legs.

I was so hopeful that these would be great for workouts. However, they are too tight for my curvy figure. Couldn't believe how restrictive they felt. Plus, the photo portrays bright primary color "lines" which look great. In person the lines are muted colors. Very disappointing on all levels. Must return.

Best tights I have ever worn! Well worth the price. I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These spats (tights) keep my muscles in place while grappling. The result is I am less sore after my workout and faster recovery time. I also use them for cross training at the gym. They are much better than Under Armour and Nike. Very durable, great investment.

The pros about these tights are that they are flattering ( I'm 5'5", 110 lbs and got a Small ) and provide a lot of compression, but the cons out weighed and I sent them back. They have a really strong off-putting chemical odor, the material bunches up in the back of your knee in an uncomfortable way, and I found the seams around the knee to be really distracting when I ran. Still looking for good compression tights.

I have been plagued with knee problems and usually wear braces to protect my knees. However, with the CW-X Stabilyx I don't have to wear the unsightly braces when I walk, jog, or spin. This is my second pair. They are durable and attractive. Love them!

I had ordered the CW-X Stabilyx tight for my first marathon and was so pleased that I did!! I highly recommend these tights. They were perfect for the strenuous run and excellent for recovery. I will be sure to wear them on all my marathons and will be ordering the capris as well!

I wear these because I have back problems. I do love them but the waist is tight on me. I am 5'1". They wash and dry so quickly. I do wish waist band was a bit looser.

I am a guy who is 5'6" and 125 lbs. The men's small in this same style still didn't seem like they were going to give the compression I was looking for. These ended up working great! I wore them for the Chicago Marathon, and I'd say they helped me make it through and then recover faster.

Got these for riding bikes and hiking for the leg & hip support. They are great! Fit true to size, are good looking and did give me the support I was looking for and of course got them super fast from wonderful Zappos. Thanks.

I first ordered a medium not really seeing a sizing chart. They were too easy to put on according to the reviews. I ordered a small right away and I love them!! I'm returning the mediums and ordering another small. I'm 5'6 , 125 lbs. They are worth the extra time it takes to put them on. I went for a quick run at first and my legs felt energized the whole way. I then went on a 20 miler and my legs felt great in 2 days. I definitely would recommend these tights!

I own 6 pairs of CWX. Stabilyx are my favorites because they are very supportive and very flattering (insulator's dull texture is just a tad more flattering than this shinier version, though). I own two of the shiny/non-insulators, and both arrived (separately) stinking so badly that the first time I opened the box I thought something died in my house, and I began pouring disinfectant in my sinks - until I figured out where the smell was coming from. It is a smell between chemicals and death/decomposing bodies. I literally wash them over and over and leave them in detergent for a week before I can wear them. This must be addressed. Otherwise, they are great. Only the shiny Stabilyx have this problem. Others do not stink.

Incredible fit and style. Worth every penny. Have 4 pair of CW-X and these are by far my favorite. Warm and cozy for low temperature runs.

Pricey but if they make the dreaded run less painful its worth it. The pants didn't help me with shin splints. I did however notice a decrease in the recovery time of my muscles. I ran a Turkey Trot - without training first of course - and was virtually pain free by the time I took the pants off. The pants are no harder to put on than a pair of stockings, and in my opinion should be hard to put on if you are expecting support. They keep all your jiggly parts in place, so psychologically you feel better while running. :) The waist comes plenty high enough for support and muffin top coverage. Plus I always get lots of compliments on the rainbow striping. I call them my magic pants.

I absolutely love these tights! I have two pairs and also a pair of the 3/4 length. I was skeptical at first. I'm not sure if they actually help or its just in my head but I was training for marathon and everything started hurting after longs runs so I started wearing these and my knee and the rest of my legs didn't bother me anymore. They are tight as other people have suggested but I wear the same size that I do in other tights (such as Nike). I'm 5'7, 135 lbs and wear a small.

These are the best. They look like they will not fit out of the package but pull them on and go for a run. The support is great and they look good. They do run a little short as I am 5'4" and they are just a little above my ankle. I am 125 lbs. and the small fits great. This is the second pair I purchased and will be purchasing the capri length. Zappos is the best for purchasing online. Quick processing and delivery.

Beautiful fit, comfort. Exceptional quality. Great stability. Love this whole line. Have many of these, long, and mid calf.
