The stabilyx tight provides optimum targeted joint support to the hip, pelvis and knee joints for greater overall stability and endurance. Quads, calf's and hamstring muscles are supported by our support web design. Lower back and abdominals also receive support. Coolmax fabric wicks moisture away to keep you cool. For safety, the logo is made of reflective material. The CW-X Stabilyx women's tights provide optimum targeted support to the core and knees, making them ideal for runners and other athletes whose joints need maximum protection. The Stabilyx tights are made using CW-X's patented Support Web, which bands together the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg to stabilize the knee and reduce vibration. The CW-X Support Web creates an exoskeletal support system that improves your biomechanics during motion. The Support Web also supports the lower abdominals, hips, and back, helping you harness your midsection and channel power through your core. With the Stabilyx tights, you'll run with authority and efficiency, a must for athletes who want to train safely. In addition, Stabilyx tights increase circulation during and after your workout, minimizing lactic acid buildup so you can be active longer and recover faster. And the Stabilyx tights are safe any time of day or night thanks to the six reflective strips and reflective logo, which provide 360-degree visibility after dark. The tights' comfort stems from the 80 percent Coolmax/20 percent Lycra four-way-stretch body fabric, which pulls moisture away from the body to the outside of the tight. Anatomically engineered specifically for men, the tights also feature a flat seam construction that eliminates abrasions, increases comfort, and enhances the fit. Additional features include a key pocket and a double-reinforced waistband with a flat drawcord. Studies show that runners wearing CW-X tights are less fatigued than runners in regular shorts or tights. The CW-X Support Web Patented CW-X Support Web technology mimics the kinesiology-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 your biomechanics during motion. This targeted support reduces muscle vibration to help your muscles work more efficiently, while also boosting circulation and reducing the buildup of lactic acids. With the CW-X Support Web, you can be active longer and recover faster. Coolmax and Lycra Fabrics The heart of CW-X is an obedience to the structure of the body, made possible by Coolmax and Lycra fibers. Coolmax is the fastest-drying fabric known to man. It moves moisture instantaneously from the body out to the fabric's outer surface, where it evaporates at twice the speed of cotton. This keeps you cool at even the highest temperatures. And with less energy spent cooling the body, you'll have more energy left to help you excel. Lycra, on the other hand, possesses the unique ability to stretch while still retaining its shape. About CW-X CW-X is dedicated to people around the world who love the exhilaration and challenge of sports. The CW-X brand is the creation of Japan's Wacoal Corp, the world's largest manufacturer of intimate apparel. Combining its scientific knowledge of the human anatomy with its experience in complex fabrications and apparel design, Wacoal Corp engineered the CW-X brand to meet the sports performance needs of the active U.S. consumer. In a study in Montpelier, France, runners wearing shorts, regular spandex tights, and CW-X Conditioning tights were measured comparing VO2 oxygen uptake levels over 15 minutes of running at 80 percent of maximal effort. When wearing CW-X tights, runners showed 26 percent and 36 percent lower oxygen use compared to runners wearing regular tights and shorts respectively.

NOT WORTH $85
I purchased these over the summer so I can't return them but they are terrible!My legs are tired while running with them and even hours after after my legs still shake. Running with them my shins hurt, my knees ache, my calves feel like jelly.When I run without them I don't have any of these problems. I purchased them because I'm trying to run a 5K and toward the end of my run, my legs become fatigued, however, they don't ache as when I wear these. I read that these should help 'extend' my run, they actually make it worse.I used them today and had to start walking after 7 minutes because my legs started to cramp up. I continued running off and on for 40 minutes. Three hours later, my knees, shins, calves are still trembling when I stand up.These are the BIGGEST waste of $85!!!

Tights work beautifully, but didn't hold up well
I had to pull back my original five star review for these tights. I love what they do for my knees, but for nearly $100, they should last a lot longer than three weeks.While the tights provide excellent support for my knees and hips, and have kept my knees from hurting or swelling, they haven't held up well at all, even with gentle treatment. They've only been washed on the delicate cycle, and have never been in the dryer. I've only run on the treadmill with them, so they've never had the opportunity to get snagged anywhere. The hole is not on a seam (which would be more understandable) but rather in the fabric itself, and right over my hip. It's frustrating to pay so much for a product--as well as these tights have worked--that doesn't last!I gave them two stars, because they do work exactly as I had hoped. For the first time I'm running with no knee or hip pain, the tights are comfortable, and they fit well (I bought a small, I'm about 5'3", 118-120)To be fair, I haven't yet written to the company, but when I do, I'll update the review.

Frayed after one use
I can't believe that for what these cost, they couldn't put a decent draw tie on the waist band. After just one washing (following the instructions) the drawstring had frayed nearly two inches on both ends.Fortunately my husband was able to repair the ends by putting wire shrink wrap on the ends of the draw.But Really ! It's ridiculous that an item that costs as much as these pants do has to be repaired after one use.

Really tight!
Have not ran in them yet but they do feel comfortable after a struggle to put them on. It took me nearly 20 minutes to pull them into the right position. I have a pair of Skins and 2XU long tights and neither are as difficult to put on as these. These tights are also the thickest of the three but doesn't feel too hot wearing at home. Will test them out soon and update review again.

MAGIC
I call these my "magic pants". It's a long story, but these tights are the only reason I was able to even begin running. I had knee problems and vein problems that made walking painful. I figured there must be a solution. These tights are the solution. I have since run numerous marathons, and last year even qualified for the Master's National Championships...and that is ALL because of how excellently the Stabylix does what it claims to do. As far as the drawstring issue--I cut them shorter and use a match to seal the ends. No more over-long draw-string, and no fraying. I DO wish they made them in a "Long" version, because I am all legs, but I wear black socks under them in the winter and forget about it.I have also worn these for rowing and cycling, and Crossfit workouts.

What do you think?
I received the product yesterday.Do you sell used goods?There is no price tag on the pants. And there are scratches and holes.

Too skimpy and over priced
I tried these through another web site but I'm suggesting to people that the sizing is off on these so be careful. The small is impossible to get over your feet and they're very hard to pull up. I weigh 120 and am 5'4 and I would need a medium.
