Material Selection: The Foundation of Durability

Selecting the right materials for compression wear is crucial for ensuring durability. High-quality materials directly impact the garment's longevity and performance. CW-X’s high-technology fabrics maintain their elasticity and compression over time. Our patented LYCRA® fabric provides consistent support without sagging or losing shape.

 

Our durable material also resists wear and tear from intense physical activities and frequent washing. Our patented COOLMAX® moisture-wicking quick-drying technology will keep you dry during your workout, and ready to perform with you the very next day for a long hike or bike ride. Investing in well-made compression wear translates to sustained benefits and reliable performance, making it a worthwhile investment for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

The Design Process: From Concept to Creation

CW-X was born in 1991 at the prestigious Human Science Research Institute in Kyoto, Japan by the makers of Wacoal. It all began when a family member injured their leg while exercising. They were able to continue exercising with a taping first aid solution, which gave rise to the idea of ​​"making tights that anyone can easily wear which incorporates the principles of taping."

So, the researchers, designers and developers applied the high-power material used in women's girdles and Wacoal's unique design technology that achieves a flexible fit, and released the first revolutionary sports tights at the time. From that day on, CW-X has been a leading name in workout wear.

 

Rigorous Testing and Quality Assurance

All of CW-X gear undergoes rigorous testing and quality assurance to ensure exceptional durability and performance. The testing procedures include a variety of comprehensive assessments such as stress tests, which evaluate the gear's ability to withstand extreme force and pressure. We also perform various wear tests that simulate long-term use to measure resistance to degradation, and environmental tests that expose the gear to harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV radiation to ensure reliability in diverse environments.

 

To maintain the highest standards, CW-X uses strict quality assurance measures. These measures include meticulous inspections at every stage of production, adherence to industry-leading quality control protocols, and continuous monitoring and feedback loops to promptly address any issues. Additionally, CW-X employs advanced testing equipment, technology and techniques to guarantee that each product meets or exceeds established performance criteria before reaching your doorstep.
