How CW-X Compression Gear Supports OCR Athletes

Targeted Joint Support and Stability

CW-X compression shorts and training compression tights use patented EXO-WEB™ technology to support knees, hips, and core no matter how explosive the movement. Compression shorts like the Endurance Generator Joint & Muscle Support Compression Short offer targeted support that improves balance, posture, and control across technical and uneven terrain.They are designed to help you stay aligned during explosive jumps, landings, and lateral moves from rocky trails to uneven terrain.

 

Reduced Fatigue for Training and Race Day

From training to race day, you need gear that supports top performance while keeping you injury-free. CW-X compression gear uses graduated compression to boost circulation and reduces muscle vibration, while you're deep in training or mid-race.

 

Compression leggings like the Endurance Generator Joint & Muscle Support Compression Tight can help reduce soreness and muscle fatigue during long training sessions, or while you're battling through walls and water pits.

With faster recovery between workouts, you're less likely to miss a training day or underperform during the race.

 

Durable Design for Every Challenge on Course

Built with moisture-wicking, durable materials, CW-X gear stands up to water, mud, and abrasion. The ergonomic construction and flat seams found on gear like the Endurance Generator Joint & Muscle Support 3/4 Compression Tight reduces chafing during high-movement events like barbed wire crawls or monkey bars.

It’s gear that won’t slow you down, which is why it’s trusted by serious athletes looking to enhance performance while training and on race day.
