The insulated stabilyx tight provides optimum temperature
regulation for fall/winter running conditions. Our patented
support web provides targeted support to the hip, pelvic and knee
joints for greater overall stability and endurance. 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.
Made by CW-X, these men's running tights
provide optimum balance as well as support for the iliotibial
band, hip flexors, and quadriceps. They also help stabilize the
knees, calves, and Achilles tendons. CW-X's patented Kinesio
Support Web acts as a suspension system for the quadriceps,
increasing power at the push phase of the running motion. The
gentle, targeted compression of the Kinesio Support Web increases
circulation, minimizing lactic buildup and reducing muscle
soreness, making these ideal recovery-wear.
The tights are anatomically engineered for each gender,
providing comfort, ease of movement, and a better fit. They offer
versatile performance, both as outerwear and as a base layer. A
reflective 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 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 build-up and
muscle soreness, so you can be active longer and recover faster.
About Lycra and Coolmax
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 igue. 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.
University of Montpelier, France: Study of VO2 oxygen uptake
levels
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.
About CW-X
Japan's Wacoal Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of
apparel, has spent half a century creating clothing born
of a deep understanding of the body. Combining its scientific
knowledge of the human anatomy with its experience in complex
fabrications and apparel design, the company first entered the
performance sports apparel market in Japan in 1991 with CW-X
Performance Conditioning Wear. Recently the company launched the
CW-X brand in the U.S. market through the newly formed Wacoal
Sports Science Corporation.
Wacoal Sports Science, headquartered in New York City, is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Wacoal International. The company's
mission is to meet the sports performance needs of the active
U.S. consumer through the CW-X brand, the world's first truly
anatomically engineered high-performance sports apparel.
