Apparel reviews of CW-X Men's Pro Shorts
Customer Review: Wow!
Rating: 5 Stars
Wow! How else to describe them. I purchased a pair at the 2010 Burlington Marathon expo and took them out for a test run. Simply amazing. Perfect compression and comfortable feel. I've run +/- 20 marathons and have long seen people running in either these shorts or pants and figured it was just hype. Was I wrong. After my initial run I came back and ordered a few more pair. Honestly, it made my usual pace effortless and cranked up the speed. Read the reviews regarding the stitching....they seem well constructed - time will tell. The shorts are around $75 - so they're not cheap. But the comfort you will feel while running is simply wow.
Description of CW-X Men's Pro Shorts
The Pro Tight features a unique Support Web structure that provides overall balanced Targeted Support to the legs with particular emphasis on the hamstrings and quadriceps muscles.The CW-X Pro Tights offer optimum muscular support for activities with linear movement, such as running. CW-X's patented Kinesio Support Web provides a suspension system for the hamstrings, reducing workload in the pull phase of the running motion. That, along with targeted variable compression to increase circulation and reduce fatigue, means your muscles don't have to work as hard over time and your legs will feel fresher.
The shorts are anatomically engineered for each gender, providing comfort, ease of movement, and a better fit. A reflective logo provides 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 Kinesio Support Web Technology
The patented CW-X Kinesio Support Web technology mimics Kinesio 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 Kinesio 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.

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.
