Customer Reviews CW-X Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tights

They are great, it takes a while to get them on, and my impression is that they are for temperatures below 18C. My knees felt better indeed.

These tights are amazing! Used them for skiing. Without them last year we were icing our knees. This year our legs felt great at the end of the day.

LOVE THESE! Did a 9 mile challenge course with these tights and they did a great job to help stabilize my knees. They did seem to slip down a little as the race progressed, but overall, they were great!

These pants are like magic! I'm training for my first half marathon and strained my left calf. I wear these pants on my long runs and feel like I could run forever. I have no pain or discomfort. They compress in all the right places. They are stylish and true to size. My only complaint is the the price. I'd buy 2 more pair of they were cheaper.

Love these! Great knee support and lower back support! Have bought 3 pair. As always great service from Zappos!

These fit great! Go with the size recommended on the chart. I was at the end part of the scale of the M scale and decided to go with it even thought I normally wear L. The fit is tight but not uncomfortable. They do help with soreness and I do not even feel them on when running. I will be buying more of these!

I bought three pairs of CW-X tights several years ago and they are still in great shape. I look forward to cold weather (I live in Florida) so I can wear them and I always get asked about them. My legs feel great after a run and have run 5ks to marathons in them. This is a great product that is well worth the investment.

I'm 5"7", 134 lbs and the SM fit perfectly. I purchased the Stabilix and the Pro-tight, and although I ended up keeping the latter, the Stabilix is an excellent tight. I loved the extra comfort it provides to the knees an core. My only complaint is that is chaffed a bit behind the knees where the seams meet. I still think it gets 5-stars hands down, though. I'm a first time CW-X buyer and won't ever run in anything else. Love Zappos!

I coveted these pants for months, but wasn't sure I could justify the cost...boy, was I wrong! On a chilly 30deg day, I pried myself into them for a 6 mile tempo run. My goal was 11min/mile. Met that and exceeded with my first sub-ten mile ever. My legs felt great! Supported and free to move. I didn't want to take them off after. Try them you won't be disappointed. Height 5'7", Wt:142. Medium fit perfectly from just above ankles to just under belly button.

These were recommended to me and they live up to the recommendation. They give the extra support I need for my knees while running.

I love these tights! This is my second pair, they are well worth the money for the serious runner. Great support in all the right places plus the seaming makes the most of your curves.

I have searched all the local running stores in my area and was not able to find these tights in an extra small. Lo and behold Zappos saved me. I love these running tights. Amazing that I received them two days after ordering. Thank you Zappos!

I absolutely love these pants. A little tight going on but once they are on and in place they feel so good. I keep them on long after my workout is over because research has shown how they improve your recovery after exercise too. I can't say enough about how pleased I am about finding these pants . I have all colours and styles they make. Enough said!!!

These are awesome! I'm 5'9 and size 12/14. I purchased these in a large. They fit great! It takes a little extra work to put these on, but once they are on it's a world of difference. I'm training for a half marathon and use these for the long runs, I have challenged knees and they offer a lot of support for my knees and my entire legs for that matter! Best money spent!

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.

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.

These provide very good support. I log about 25 miles a week and on my long run day these are great. They are a little snug behind the knee. It would be nice if the material behind the knee was some kind of elastic.

Pants are great, except that right above the knees is a decal (a grey permanent sticker) on the fabric that looks cheap and tacky. I'm replacing these with the Expert compression pants. FYI, I'm 165 lbs, 5'8", and I can fit comfortably into the size L (and there is still compression going on), or with a lot of squeezing a huffing I can fit into the size M.

These are not your regular leggings/ tights. I am a standard M and could not hardly get them on. I am not re-ordering because they are not what I wanted, but could see that some athletes might want this slight "girdle" effect. Runs small.

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 think these tights have a great style and a great rainbow design, but I did not find them comfortable to wear and so I only kept the one pair. It may be that my legs are long and these just are not made in a length that is comfortable for me. I found the waistband to roll down while I was working out which was a constant distraction to me. I also felt as if the tights weighed a 100 pounds and the compression fit just was not for me. I bought them to train in as I thought they would protect my knees, but I just did not find them at all comfortable to wear.

These were my first try at compression pants, and, given all the 5 star ratings, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, CWX pants just don't seem to be made for me ... I'm 5'9" and 130lbs. I tried the small and medium. With both, the 24" inseam was way too short, and I was constantly tugging to keep the waist in place. The legs of the pants fit fine. I wish they came in talls.

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.

Overpriced. They are true compressors, but the material is thin. I held them up at least 5 feet from my window during daylight and I was able to see through them. I owned two other pairs from CWX, same style & they’re also thin/see through except where double layers are intentionally applied. People able to see my underwear, this brand does wear out quickly. I have other sport brand leggings & compressions that I owned longer than my CWX compressions and they’re still in good condition.

I was very unhappy with these tights. They appear to have been used! They were stretched out of shape, the knees appeared rather worn, and the reflective detailing was peeling off.
