Product Description
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
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 Support Web increases circulation, minimizing lactic
acid 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+.
2. 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.
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 fatigue. Legs supported by CW-X showed a negligible
decrease in electrical pulse activity.
3. 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 intimate 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.
