CW-X compression gear offers more than comfort, it’s a tool for performance. Hikers face unique challenges: uneven ground, elevation shifts, and long durations under load. That’s why CW-X integrates multi-directional stretch fabrics, flat seam construction, and moisture-wicking materials into every pair of hiking compression tights and shorts. Whether you’re out for a day hike or on a multi-day backpacking adventure, compression wear helps increase circulation, reduce vibration in major muscle groups, and minimize post-hike soreness.
Our patented EXO-WEB™ technology mimics kinesiology taping, wrapping and stabilizing muscles and joints to improve alignment on tricky trails. The 2-way stretch panel supports full range of motion while applying targeted compression where hikers need it most: the hips, knees, glutes, and calves. With hiking compression tights and sleeves for men, CW-X is built for durability, comfort, and real-world terrain.
Even after you step off the trail, CW-X compression helps support faster recovery. By improving blood circulation and reducing swelling, our gear is ideal for easing soreness and enhancing rest days. Whether you’re gearing up for your next ascent or recovering from your longest hike yet, CW-X helps you stay ready to move.
CW-X compression gear supports muscles and joints, increases circulation, and reduces post-hike soreness. It’s designed to improve endurance on long hikes and enhance recovery after strenuous outdoor activity.
That depends on trail conditions and your personal preference. Compression pants provide full-leg support, great for cooler weather or rougher terrain as a base layer. Compression shorts offer flexibility and breathability, ideal for warmer hikes or shorter routes.
Yes, our hiking compression tights and shorts use moisture-wicking fabrics and flat seam construction to keep you cool, dry, and chafe-free during long hours on the trail.
Absolutely! Many long-distance hikers and backpackers use CW-X for muscle support and reduced fatigue over multiple days of hiking. The added compression from our products can help with endurance and post-hike recovery.
