The CW-X Support Web™ provides targeted support to the areas most taxed by a triathlete:
the core, hip flexors and upper back. By stabilizing the hip flexors, an area strained
by pedaling and often overdeveloped in cyclists, the Support Web brings the rest
of the lower body into alignment for increased efficiency and reduced fatigue. Targeted
support for the upper back and core improves posture, breathing and allows the arms
to move more freely. The Support Web also provides targeted compression for improved
circulation and accelerated recovery.
Hike / Climb
For hikers, wearing CW-X tights and shorts is like lightening your load: it means
you can go longer, faster and with less strain on your body. CW-X’s patented Support
Web™ bands the muscles and ligaments together to stabilize
Running
Extensive studies show that wearing CW-X tights results in 26% less energy expenditure
than running in regular tights and 36% less energy than running in shorts. CW-X’s
patented Support Web brings the hips, knees and ankles into proper alignment, reducing
impact and load to the legs. The Support Web™ also provides a suspension system
for the hamstrings and quadriceps, reducing workload in both the pull and push phase
of the running motion. With more efficient strides, your muscles don’t have to work
as hard over time and your legs will feel fresher.
Snow Sports
CW-X’s patented Support Web™ bands muscles and ligaments together to support and
stabilize the knees, quadriceps and core. The result: increased power output in
turns and decreased vibrations for greater edge control. The Support Web also provides
targeted compression to key circulation areas to improve blood flow, keeping muscles
warm and speeding up recovery, so that your 4pm run feels more like a 2pm run.
Yoga / Pilates
The middle of the body is vital for balance and stability, two things that are very
important in yoga and pilates. The CW-X Support Web™ offers optimum support to the
core and lower back while also stabilizing the hip flexors and gluteal muscles,
so you can perform more strenuous poses with greater ease.
Recovery
After strenuous activity, CW-X tights can hasten recovery thanks to the anatomically
designed Support Web™. By providing extra compression in key circulation areas,
the Support Web increases circulation for reduced muscle fatigue and quicker recovery.
