Apparel reviews of CW-X Men's 3/4 Length Stabilyx Tights
Customer Review: Excellent product - a must have pair
Rating: 5 Stars
I've used many different brand running tights in the past, and CW-X is the best in my experience. I've previously purchased the full length tights before, but after jogging for a while, they have a tendency to get a little too warm at times. I bought these for those times that it's not quite that cold, for the gym, and for under pants on the slopes.
These provide excellent knee support that I noticed that right away, I felt better bending my legs medially and laterally. The tights actually kept my knees supported, and I felt more energized when walking and jogging. This pair also works well in the core and lumbar regions. I felt more support there, and my back doesn't hurt after wearing these on a long jog.
Some people doubt the performance difference in gear such as this saying it "is in the head". Personally I believe it has helped as I can go for 90 minutes or more with these, and without or with just compression shorts I can maybe push 60 minutes before getting tired. I especially feel the difference toward the end of the run. I had no interest before in training for a marathon, but I may attempt a 5K or so in the near future.
Description of CW-X Men's 3/4 Length Stabilyx Tights
The Stabilyx Tight provides optimum Targeted Support to both the lower back/core area and the knee joint and surrounding muscles for greater overall stability and power.CW-X's Stabilyx running tights provide optimum, targeted support to your knees and body core. They're ideal for activities with lateral motion, such as skiing and snowboarding, and for athletes seeking a great form of knee support. The patented Support Web bands together the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg to stabilize the knee and reduce vibration for increased efficiency. The Support Web also harnesses the midsection, supporting the lower abdominals, hips, and back to channel power through the core. Variable compression facilitates circulation during and after activity, minimizing lactic acid buildup so that you can be active longer and recover faster.
The tights are anatomically engineered for each gender, providing comfort, ease of movement, and a better fit. A reflective "flash" and logo provide extra visibility for nighttime activities. The flat-seam construction eliminates abrasions, increases comfort, and enhances fit. Other features include a key pocket and a double-reinforced waistband with a flat-draw cord.
Fabrics
The 80 percent Coolmax, 20 percent Lycra four-way stretch fabric pulls moisture away from the body to the outside of the tights and provides a UV protection rating of UPF 40+.

About Support Web Technology
The patented CW-X Support Web technology mimics taping techniques that trainers apply to injured muscles. When this technology is applied to muscles and joints, it creates an exoskeletal support system that improves biomechanics during motion. The Support Web provides targeted support to key areas, decreasing muscle oscillation and focusing power so your muscles work more efficiently. Variable compression along the web facilitates circulation, minimizing lactic acid build-up and muscle soreness, so you can be active longer and recover faster.
The genius at the heart of CW-X is an obedience to the structure of the body, made possible by two extraordinary fibers: Lycra and Coolmax. Coolmax moves moisture instantaneously from the body out to the fabric's outer surface, where it evaporates at twice the speed of cotton. So with CW-X Conditioning Wear, you remain cool at even the highest temperatures. When less energy goes toward cooling the body, more energy is left to help you excel. Lycra, on the other hand, possesses the unique ability to stretch yet retain its shape.

About CW-X Gear Technology
For 40 years, scientists at Wacoal Human Science Research Center in Kyoto, Japan, have studied kinesiology, the science of human movement. They have tested over 35,000 people and analyzed injuries relative to warm-up and cool-down periods. They have come to understand the mechanics of joints and muscles in minute detail. This exhaustive study of body movement has culminated in over 50 patents worldwide.
Below are some further studies demonstrating the performance-enhancing qualities of CW-X Conditioning Wear.
Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of electrical pulse activity in muscles
Muscles firing into motion were measured electromyographically for subjects wearing CW-X gear, subjects wearing competitor products, and subjects with bare legs. Electrical pulse activity decreased in unsupported and partly supported legs during exercise, indicative of fatigue. Legs supported by CW-X showed a negligible decrease in electrical pulse activity.

Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of stability, impact, and motion
In this study, high-speed video analysis was used to compare stability, impact, and motion in CW-X products and regular compression gear. CW-X Support Web tights were 10 percent more stable and balanced and absorbed 12 percent more shock to the knee than regular compression tights. CW-X Support Web tops allowed 9 percent greater range of motion for the arm than regular compression tops.

This study measured VO2 oxygen uptake levels over the course of 15 minutes of running in CW-X gear, regular compression tights, and running shorts. CW-X Support Web tights showed 26 percent less oxygen use than regular compression tights and 36 percent less oxygen use than traditional running shorts, indicating lower energy expenditure.
