CWX Pro Fit Short

Here's the deal on these awesome shorts; order 1 size DOWN if you're a RUNNER and order your size if you're using them for other purposes. I am training for 2nd marathon and ordered these shorts in a medium. They rolled up like daisy dukes (like another reviewer said happened to her). So I ordered the small to see if being tighter would make them stay in place. The small was PERFECT...no rolling....just pure compression and comfort. I actually wear these under my Nike running skirt. I also kept the mediums for cross training workouts...but I need the smaller size for running. I am 5'8", 165lbs...not a "small" by normal standards....but the small was exactly what I needed. I have very muscular legs...but as a 38 year old mom of 2, I also have a little lower tummy and some jiggle on my upper-inner thigh. These shorts fix that and make running a dream. They covered that upper inner thigh perfectly and held in my lower back and tummy. I wasn't sure about the length...but it was just right for me. They fall about 4 to 5 inches down the leg. If you want a longer running short, but you don't want the full capri...the CW-X Triathlon Short are awesome. The padding in the Tri-Short is not super-thick so it doesn't interfere with running. I wore those the last 2 years, but have lost a lot of weight and am ready for the shorter running shorts. I am a huge fan of CW-X...ran my first marathon with CW-X full-length Stabilyx tights. I wear the CW-X bra which is only one of 2 brands that actually work for me. The other one is "Moving Comfort". The bottom line is with CW-X, I find I actually need to order a size down in order to utilize the compression aspect them most efficiently...that goes for the capris, shorts, full tights and bras. Anyway, hope that helps!

I am 5'4", 120 lbs, with athletic thighs. I did not think these shorts would work for me. I was convinced they would not fit my thighs or would be uncomfortably tight at the leg openings. However, I love my CW-X tights so much, I decided to give them a try in a size small. I am happy to report that they are very comfortable. The leg openings are snug but not uncomfortably so. I wore them for a run and a leg workout. No pinching or riding up. Love them!

I enjoy these shorts as much as my CWX tights. They are supportive, stay put and don't ride up. The only suggestion I have is if you are "between sizes" go for the larger size.

Perfect for tri's. Nice and short with very little padding. Perfect for racing. I would wear something with more padding for training. Also go up a size.

These are the best running shorts ever - short without riding up when I run. They provide fantastic support and make any run easier.
