Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

These are amazing pants. I wore them in a race that was 85 degrees, and I didn't over heat. They are supposed to be really tight! Helped my knees a lot!

CW-X Stabilyx Tight are great running pants! They feel great and I really think they improved my time in races. I just wish they were a little longer for me, I have long legs, and I would like for them to be passed my ankles. But over all great length for other people less than 5'11.

I have 4 CWX-tights; these, the insulated winter tights, CWX shorts, and the Capri Stabilyx tights., I love them all--I wear them on runs that are 10 miles and longer. I need the compression because of various muscle/tendon/knee joint issues. I wore these tights last week during a long 20 mile race along the seacoast of New Hampshire. The tights provided just the right amount of compression and coverage. My legs never got hot or cold--despite the consistent 10-15 mph headwinds and crosswinds. The material is thick enough to cover up the fat on my 46-year old legs which are far less than perfect despite my constant running! I highly recommend these for long-distance runners looking to keep swelling down and miles up.

Just got back from a ski vacation and what a difference these tights made. Skied all day and never had “shaky legs” from over exertion. I have my husband convinced that he will have to get a pair for next year. Worth every dime!

These tights are the best! I bought two pairs so that I always have a clean pair between washes. I have knee problems and these tights definitely help with support. I wear them for all activities. Running, biking, walking, stretching, weight lifting. I even wore them as long johns for skiing. Great buy.

Super fast shipping and product was as advertised. I am currently training for marathon and had started developing knee pain. These tights are so comfortable and the knee pain is now gone. My initial plan was to only wear them for long-runs and race day but my legs feel so much better with them on that I have started wearing them for all of my runs. I even leave them on for an extra hour or so after a 18+ mile run. This seems to help with decreasing the muscle soreness that I would typically have the next day. It would be nice if the tights provided a little compression around the calf muscles but I have rather scrawny legs and I am sure that calf compression is perfect for the average person.

This product is really good. I highly recommend it. It is a bit tricky to align the lines around knees and IT band but once you do they make a difference. You are not as sore the next day after a long run since they move the lactic acid from your body, the compression is comfortable yet noticeable. Expensive but worth it.

Great for stability during my run and recovery post run. The sizing chart from the manufacturer is accurate and very important for the tights to fit properly. If they don\'t fit properly the support bands won\'t line up correctly. Great investment.

These are the best running tights I\'ve ever worn. I run outdoors quite a bit, they provide great support. I\'ve tried other tights, close in price but they were not as zippy to run in. Worth the price!

These are my second pair of CW-X Stabilyx tights. I love these things. They keep you warm and your legs feel great after running. I will never buy anything else. I swear by them. They need to fit you like pantyhose. Pretty tight and that is how you put them on, too. Just like a pair of pantyhose. You should not be able to grab extra material. You should have just enough to pull on to get them up your legs.

These tights are awesome. Definitely worth the investment! I was having some knee pain, but the webbing support has put an end to those problems. My pace and distance increased with the added support, and I am completely satisfied. Next time I might try the capri length, since it is so hot here in Atlanta.

Love these tights! I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing these tights all winter, and have actually been complimented on them more than once. Being 5'10" and 130 pounds I was hesitant about the recommended size MEDIUM, but they work well for me - Large was way too big.

Tights - These are wonderful--as supportive as claimed and I just walk in them. I think I'll also order the insulated ones for colder days, because these definitely aren't warm enough to walk in in winter, but they fit nicely under sweats!

Love It - I need Cortisone injections for my IT band issues but these tights have really helped! Worth the money!

These tights are GREAT! These tights are worth the money. Really. They provide the support for your body that they claim. I was suspicious, but thought they were worth a try. They really work. I wore them recently at a 5K run and I got my PR. They helped keep my legs fresh. My legs never felt like lead any time during my run. The support the tights provided help to keep my legs fresh and feeling good. I experienced less soreness after the run as well. I love these tights and highly recommend them to anyone! They are great. Buy them, you won't be sorry.

Awesome tights! I love these tights so much I bought a second pair so I'd always have a clean one to wear. I had been training for a marathon when they arrived, and I could really notice a difference in how 'fresh' my legs felt after a long run. The extra support really does make a difference. My only complaint: the second pair I ordered had a small stripe on the upper thighs and into the crotch area. The problem with that is that it gives extra, um, 'definition' to that area that makes me want to add a pair of shorts before I go out. I mean 'high def' is nice in a flat-screen TV, but you don't want to see every little curve in a skin-tight pair of tights. Go for the all black ones when you can find them.

Storing "extra mile" I have a few pairs of Stabilyx tights as well as pro tights. Either one helps to give one that extra boost when needed for the long runs/marathons. I interchange with Stabilyx and pro tights to give relief on the knees and with the next training session the pro tights help with giving extra support to my quads/hamstrings. After all, being almost 68yrs old. anything that can hold me up and move me ahead I royally welcome. The word SUPPORT is extremely vital to an old runner.

I am 5'1". Pear shaped, all in the thighs and backside, with a kangaroo pouch, 185 pounds. I wear a medium/large shirt, and XL pants/size 14. I purchased these in the size L, and they fit me just fine. I have owned the same pants in the 3/4 tight version about a year ago, and still wear them under my capris for jogging. My only two gripes about these pants are this. I have room to pull the waist band away from my body, so I know it is not because they are too tight, but on extended/distance runs (eight miles and longer), where the drawstring knot is - chaffes my skin. Since I am cocoa colored, I have a few eraser sized scars across the band line. Number two, I just recently experienced some chaffing on the upper, inner thigh area. I am told getting some Glide will alleviate these problems, so I will try this. Otherwise, these pants are cute, and they do help circumvent a lot of the muscle fatigue I would experience otherwise. A note to my petite, pear shaped big-girls. You can get these on! It just takes patience, they are very durable! I got my first pair when I was 210 pounds! Keep the faith alive!

These compression tights really give you support while you run. They do run small. Order one size up from the sizing chart.

I've been a runner since I was a kid but always avoided tights...shorts or loose running pants only! However, these do provide support that regular running pants don't. I don't have any serious issues to worry about but I do have a weak lower back and pelvic/hip issues from marathon training a few years ago...these help support those areas...and any support is appreciated - despite the silly feeling coming from wearing tights!

Great tights! Provides excellent support and comfort.

They look good but they were not comfortable. The crotch felt off, and the length was not enough either; they don't really work for tall people. I have a pair of Spanx compression leggings that are so much better than these. I read the reviews for the CW-X Stabilyx, which were overall really great, but I am so disappointed with my own experience with these. I wore them twice and jogged in them, so I can't return them. They just didn't live up to the hype.

I was so excited about running in my new tights. When I received them I noted how small they were. I looked in the back to see the recommended height/weight requirement and I am 5'6" 147 lbs. Well within the size medium. I do have quite an athletic build so I have calves and quads. These pants are not comfortable on me at all. I am still wearing them waiting to break them or be wowed by them and it is not happening. Very disappointed.

The fit is great, you really can’t go too tight with these tights, the compression is better and the knee support stays in place the snugger they are. I use them as a under layer in the winter for running and skiing.

The perfect compression tights. All day comfort.
