I am 5' tall & weigh 145 lbs. What size CW-X 3/4 stabilyx tight should I purchase?

As a 5'5" female I wore a Small when I weighed 115 -125lbs but at 135-145 a medium fits better. For a male I think I'd look at the Men's specific models because I think the waist to hip ratio would be different and you could end up with a very tight and uncomfortable waist with a women's model. If you are going for the women's 3/4 tight because the length would be better I'd definitely go medium - small is quite small and snug.

The stitching pattern on the tights are to strategically place support over certain areas, they're not just for looks. For example, the "diamond" shaped pattern at the knees are supposed to sit directly over your kneecaps for the knee support/stabilizing feature to work (the model in the photo is not wearing them correctly). If you're pear-shaped, you'd probably need a medium in this brand, but they're going to be too long/not do it's job so the compression shorts would be better for you (above knee). If your weight's equally distributed, you may be able to get away with the small. Either way, try the brand on in a store if you can.

Medium work really well for me and I'm 5'3" 150 lbs. The pants seem very tight at first but definitely stretch out a little after wearing....and especially after wearing and washing 5-6 times. Wash in cold water/gentle...and line dry. Really great for recovery and supporting the knees.

I am 5'9" 155 and I wish I had ordered a large instead of a Medium. I fell well in the medium range. I get in them and they are definitely compression but a little more room would have been great. My other wish is that I would have bought full length. My calves swell below the hem. Also, with them being so tight they tend to pull down with my work out. If it wasn't for the tie inside I would constantly be pulling them up.

The CW-X web site has a good sizing guide. I am 5.1 and weigh 103 and the size xs fit perfect. The fit is VERY snug but not uncomfortable. I loved my 3/4 so much got a pair Of full length for Christmas!

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. Good luck!

Are you male or female? I am 5'3" and 115 lbs woman and I wear a small. Although it may be long for you, I would suggest a medium because the waist of a small will be very tight for you.

I am 5' and weighed 127 lb when i purchased these in a Large so i would think an XL for you - the drawstring is useful to pull tighter around the waist, (as i now weigh 115 lb thanks to Zumba) but the really tight part of these pants is the top of the legs! Note: the diamond shape stitching should be placed around the knee and that works out for me at 5'. The best idea would be to try some different sizes on at Scheels as all our body types are different.

Hello...Just saying but these clearly state "Women's". I would not wear compression gear designed for a woman if I was a man (certain spots will get squeezed when they should not). However if you are a woman using a man ID: refer the CWX charts knowing that it is somewhat accurate (all people are build differently so going by weight and height rather than leg length and circumference is an issue). Your best bet is to try the exact brand and model at a local store and see how they fit.

I'm 5'4" @160. Wear the medium. But still have trouble keeping the knee area actually over my knees as they tend to want to slide down... But small would be far to snug for me.

I am 6' 0", 170. I bought a large that fairly tight; I would suggest at least an XL.

I'm 5'10" 165lbs and bought a large so I could where a bulky sweatshirt or fleece underneath. The sizing chart is accurate - go by that. BTW, I bought the Gage rain suit and it has been the best rain protection I have ever had, including L.L. Bean.

Their size guide would suggest a medium. Depends on your build and comfort. I'm 5'4" & 140lbs, got a medium. They're very tight, I use them for heavy lifting sessions.

Hi David O. I have a longer sort of muscular body, and I'm 6 ft/185. My hands aren't big and lumberjacky, my fingers are more slender. I first ordered a size 2 and it was very tight. Judging on the snugness of this, I immediately came back and ordered a size 4 which fit me perfectly. Hope this helps saves you some back and forth hassle. I could have used this kind of advice, so that is why I included so much information about my body type--I wasnt trying to act lascivious, heh heh. I wish you a speedy recovery as well.

I (33 waist 6'3) actually have a large pair and they fit well without tying the string, even after months of regular use. Medium should be fine unless you want them to be noticeably tight.

You definitely want a large. I am 6 foot 165 lbs and the large is good and tight.

I am a female and 5'10 with big hands. I ordered the medium, because my trainer's gloves were the exact same ones and they fit me perfectly..even with my wraps on. My medium fit a bit snug, but it's because they aren't worn in yet. I imagine the XL would work for you. I certainly wouldn't recommend the L for you, but hopefully the XL should be big enough.

I tried the small but found them too tight. I'm 5'9" and 180. Medium works well for me.

Hi. I'm 5'3" and ~120 lbs. I get these in small and they're great. I wonder how much smaller xs would be. Since you're 10 pounds lighter and an inch talker, I'd try xs. I hope they work out for you!

Jim, I am 5'9" and weigh 290. I wear size 44 pants. I think this will go around you fine. I had to take up the length on mine so I feel sure it will work for you. I really like it.

Go with the next size up. That s/m is too tight for me, and I am 5'5" at 165.

I am not sure what size you need, but I am 5'6" and 125 pounds and the small size fit me snugly. I was glad it was snug, because I did not want it to snag or catch while I was doing my race. Good luck :)

I am 6 foot 4 - 235 pounds and bought the 3 x. It fits snug and I'm not fat.
