How do I find the right size and fit?
For optimum performance, your CW-X garment needs to fit correctly. CW-X Compression Gear should fit tightly yet comfortably into the body.
If one of your measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, choose the larger size.
Please refer to our Size & Fit Page for all our Size Charts, and remember if the fit isn’t perfect, you can return the garment.
-
How do I put on the tights properly?
To achieve maximum support and comfort, please wear the tights as recommended.
We suggest sitting down to put it on.
Use both hands to slowly roll the tights up your legs.
Make sure the support web is aligned properly and symmetrically on both legs.
NOTE: The support lines should cross above and below your knee caps
Please check whether the knee support is fitting correctly or not.
If there are too many wrinkles in the knee area, the fitting is incorrect.
Adjust the waistband as needed.

Should I wear underwear under compression?
It’s up to you! Most people prefer to wear undergarments under compression. It’s recommended that sports underwear made from performance fabrics are worn rather than cotton as cotton will not wick away the sweat.

Can I wear CW-X for water sports?
We DO NOT recommend the use of our products for water sports, especially swimming in the pool as chlorine can easily damage the material of the EXO Web.
