CW-X is a brand of Wacoal, a well-known women's underwear manufacturer, and its products are known for their strong support. Based on nearly 50 years of data accumulated by the Wacoal Institute for Human Sciences, the CX-W applies the unique principle of wrapping sports patches to compression products, which wind around compression clothing and pants to support joints and muscles, so as to better maintain sports posture and avoid sports injuries.
Due to its womenswear design foundation, CW-X compression clothing also inherits Wacoal's high appearance, and the smooth crossover lines on compression pants are its trademark. And unlike the common pure black compression pants on the market, the color scheme of the CW-X compression pants is quite gorgeous. The Generator series of artistically designed limited-edition compression pants is a masterpiece of CW-X, incorporating a variety of floral elements and bright colors, which are highly rated among female sports enthusiasts.
CW-X has recognized excellent support performance, and is deeply loved by sports enthusiasts with large body weight and knee injuries, and users even call its compression pants the "exoskeleton" of the human body. However, in order to ensure sufficient support, the material of CW-X products is generally thick, and some users report that it is not as comfortable to wear as 2XU and SKINS, and men's compression pants will even have a crotch. However, this situation has changed with the introduction of COOLMAX fabrics, which have been used in Stabilyx, Expert and other collections.
CW-X has a large series of compression equipment, with Generator, Stabilyx, Revolution, Expert, and Style Free being its main series, and the positioning is lowered in turn. The flagship series Generator has the strongest support and compressive strength, while the Style Free series has the weakest performance in these two dimensions, and is only suitable for low-intensity sports such as jogging and walking.
The Generator is CW-X's flagship series and provides the most comprehensive support for all parts of the body, covering the muscles of the knees, lower back, femoral joints, hips, thighs and calves. The Generator series has a spandex content of 30%, which is also the highest of all series. Generally speaking, the higher the spandex content, the better the compression performance. The price of this series is concentrated in the range of 800-900 yuan, and the price of the art limited edition is more than 1,000 yuan.
The Stabilyx collection is generally well rated in CW-X, with professional sportswear media outlets gymventures and mycompressiongear's Best Compression Pants list recommending it. Although the support points of this series of compression suits are not as comprehensive as those of the Generator series, due to the use of COOLMAX fabric, the overall breathability is better, which is suitable for marathons, short- and medium-distance mountaineering and other activities. In terms of price, the Stabilyx series is concentrated between 700-850 yuan.
CW-X has no purchase channel in Chinese mainland for the time being, if you want to buy it in a physical store, you can go to Hong Kong. In addition, CW-X mainly has two channels: Meitao and Ritao. The Japanese version of the product is closer to Asians in terms of design style and size, and it is more recommended to buy it through Ritao.
