CW-XWomen's Stabilyx Joint Support Compression Tight, Leggings for Running and Recovery
F**C
Very nice tight compression throughout the leg
These are the only leggings I work out in. For the gym, for a run, or to play tennis, anything I do with mild to high impact on my legs and knees, I am wearing these. Gives me much needed knee support, shock absorption and stability while active. Very nice tight compression throughout the leg, supporting my joints. High waisted giving good core support. Little mesh pocket at the waist for my chapstick. Strong material smooths out hips and most of the lumps and bumps for a smooth, curvy silhouette. Theyre costly but a worthy investment to protect from the wear and tear of vigorous activity. I have several because I work out often and work up a sweat but cant do laundry everday so its good to have several to keep in rotation while the sweaty ones are waiting to be washed. They can get expensive but often the prices fluctuate on amazon so you can get good deals. Important to pay attention to the laundering tag. DO NOT use fabric softner on these and do not put them in the dryer. My first couple pair were getting little wholes in them that would eventually grow and turn into big rips. I was getting so upset that something so expensive was deteriorating so quickly, then I realized my laundry lady was washing them with fabric softners and machine drying them. Now I run them through the washer myself with lots of soap on either cold or warm water cycles and then just hang to let them air dry, and these last much longer. No wholes, fabric stays strong and in tact. Some of the tights that I have worn for years start to wear out in the inner thigh area close to the groin because of my shape and also when im stretching that area takes the most strain, but I just get them patched back up with additional black lycra fabric and theyre good as new. Many people complain about the sizing but these are compression leggings so they are strong and tight the way they are supposed to be, to hold everything up and together. If you are looking for something loose or super stretchy like yoga pants, these are not for you. These are for strong and serious support, for long term impact and protection, like for people running miles, etc. At first they were hard to put on but after a few washes and wear they get a bit more stretchy and I am so used to putting these on everyday I dont notice the resistance anymore and they feel so great once theyre on. I love how they make me look smaller and smooth out the curves and feel so well supported. The cw-x "stabilyx" are a very worthy investment for anyone truly needing good support in their activewear. These are only bested by their cw-x "endurance generator" tights which are the highest level of supportive tights this brand offers (and my favorite of the 2)

Farthest Run to Date was with my new pair of CW-X Stabilyx Tights
I have numerous medical issues : vertigo, 3 degenerative disks ( upper/mid/lower back), chronic bronchitis ( nonsmoker) 4th time having lung issues requiring inhaler to simply breath, heat stroke so I have difficulty regulating temps and sweat more than norm, and I utilize chiropractors roughly every few months for back, shoulder, neck, and calf tightness issues. Just started running this year as weather in NEPA has been brutal~ I've run 7 times since January 2018 with average pace of 9'16"pace with 41.34 total kilometers this after having bronchitis 4times. Today with the CWX I ran my longest distance of 8.12km ( 5.046miles) with 8'35"/Km and a time of 1:09:43. I also smashed my own records with the faster 1k of 7:13, fastest 1 mile with 12:22 , and hit a personal best of 42:28 in the 5k all while wearing these tights.I'm roughly 5ft9in weighing 188lbs ( Main workout: Crossfit)so I'm well built and muscular. The support in the midsection,back, knees, legs was superb and I was surprised how little moisture was around my stomach and how easy they came off. I stayed dry and comfortable with these for the entire run in 40 temps with high wind. I didn't feel the wind , nor the cold weather not once on my legs and the fit was perfect for me without riding up at the hems nor bunching up in crouch area.Extremely comfortable to wear, no rubbing (inner thigh) engages the hamstring/calf area nicely while supporting quadriceps,very little muscle soreness, the belly flap stayed put & never fell over and I welcomed the string to keep in place. Lightweight yet breathable, and the joint support offered was amazing. I'm glad to get these at a sensible price much lower than retail price and my shipper was excellent. I'm not your average runner and in fact haven't ran competitively long-mid distance/cross country since high school over 25 yrs ago. With these I may just reconsider. I'm a momx3 teens who doesn't get much spare time but I appreciate good quality made material and the coolmax, lycra feature with stabilyx is exactly what I needed in my late 40's.

The best compression tights bar none!
I love CW-X and all their products! This is yet another pair of tights I have bought from this company. They help me to run to my ultimate best, and recover much faster from my long runs. To do that, you need to wear them 8 hours after you finish your long run. They can be difficult to put on, especially the first few times. You also must wash them on cold delicate and let them hand dry. They fit very tight, and you may find that a little weird. However, that is how they work their magic. I find they feel like little magic fingers massaging my muscles as I run. Their tightness holds everything in place, and really helps to support my lower back. There is a little pocket that can hold a key on the inside, but it is pretty small. If you want to carry your phone, you will need to wear some sort of belt to put your phone in. Also, since these are tight, you need to put on Bodyglide on thighs, etc, or suffer the consequences. The Stabilyx line are designed to keep your joints stabilized, and I have found they do a super job of that. I highly recommend these tights, and this is the fourth pair I have bought of them. My running coach told me about them years ago, and I am so glad she did. I have worn a pair of these in every half marathon and marathon I have run (14 halfs and 3 marathons) and will continue to do so!

Perfect! Love these so much.
These are amazing tights. At first I thought they were expensive, but after reading the reviews I decided to try them, and I am sold. They are worth every penny. I have ordered another pair because I have seen what these tights can do and I never want to be without them! I run trails, and these tights keep my creaky knees nice and secure. I won't go back to regular tights. My only complaint is that stuff can fall out of the little interior pocket because it has no zipper. If I were redesigning these tights, the only change I would make would be to add a zip-up pocket to the back, just below the waist line. Ideally big enough for a key and a couple of cards. Otherwise, this is an absolutely awesome product that every runner with joint issues should try. And if you don't have joint issues now, I believe you could delay their onset by wearing these tights.

Disappointing lack of quality
Either I received a defective product or the quality of CW-X tights has decreased to where they're not worth the money. I have had these tights for a month, worn them six times, and laundered them twice (cold water, air dry). Putting them on for the seventh time the seam beside the knee tore. It's not that they're too small for me -- this is the same size as my other pair of CW-X joint support tights that I've had for over a year, which are still fine. From day one, though, the support on these was not as good as my older pair of tights either, so I suspect manufacturing quality is to blame.
