Why OCR Demands Specialized Gear
Obstacle course race training pushes your body through a mix of endurance, power, and agility challenges. From steep hill climbs to mud crawls and sandbag carries, each event offers its own challenges and physical demands. Choosing the right obstacle course race gear helps prevent injury and keeps you at your top performance obstacle after obstacle.
You need apparel that adapts to a wide range of motion, is designed for varying conditions, and provides critical support during high-intensity movements. You want gear that’s synonymous with durability, flexibility, and muscle stabilization, to keep you safe and at the top of your game.
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.

Your post-race recovery plan is just as important as your performance. CW-X training compression tights helps to:
- Reduce muscle soreness
- Minimize swelling
- Improve circulation for faster recovery
Wearing compression gear like the Endurance Generator Joint & Muscle Support Compression Short paired with the Stabilyx High Impact Sports Bra after your race accelerates the healing process, allowing you to get back to your workouts sooner and stronger.
