I am 5' tall & weigh 145 lbs. What size CW-X 3/4 stabilyx tight should I purchase?

As a 5'5" female I wore a Small when I weighed 115 -125lbs but at 135-145 a medium fits better. For a male I think I'd look at the Men's specific models because I think the waist to hip ratio would be different and you could end up with a very tight and uncomfortable waist with a women's model. If you are going for the women's 3/4 tight because the length would be better I'd definitely go medium - small is quite small and snug.

The stitching pattern on the tights are to strategically place support over certain areas, they're not just for looks. For example, the "diamond" shaped pattern at the knees are supposed to sit directly over your kneecaps for the knee support/stabilizing feature to work (the model in the photo is not wearing them correctly). If you're pear-shaped, you'd probably need a medium in this brand, but they're going to be too long/not do it's job so the compression shorts would be better for you (above knee). If your weight's equally distributed, you may be able to get away with the small. Either way, try the brand on in a store if you can.

Medium work really well for me and I'm 5'3" 150 lbs. The pants seem very tight at first but definitely stretch out a little after wearing....and especially after wearing and washing 5-6 times. Wash in cold water/gentle...and line dry. Really great for recovery and supporting the knees.

I am 5'9" 155 and I wish I had ordered a large instead of a Medium. I fell well in the medium range. I get in them and they are definitely compression but a little more room would have been great. My other wish is that I would have bought full length. My calves swell below the hem. Also, with them being so tight they tend to pull down with my work out. If it wasn't for the tie inside I would constantly be pulling them up.

The CW-X web site has a good sizing guide. I am 5.1 and weigh 103 and the size xs fit perfect. The fit is VERY snug but not uncomfortable. I loved my 3/4 so much got a pair Of full length for Christmas!

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. Good luck!

Are you male or female? I am 5'3" and 115 lbs woman and I wear a small. Although it may be long for you, I would suggest a medium because the waist of a small will be very tight for you.

I am 5' and weighed 127 lb when i purchased these in a Large so i would think an XL for you - the drawstring is useful to pull tighter around the waist, (as i now weigh 115 lb thanks to Zumba) but the really tight part of these pants is the top of the legs! Note: the diamond shape stitching should be placed around the knee and that works out for me at 5'. The best idea would be to try some different sizes on at Scheels as all our body types are different.

Hello...Just saying but these clearly state "Women's". I would not wear compression gear designed for a woman if I was a man (certain spots will get squeezed when they should not). However if you are a woman using a man ID: refer the CWX charts knowing that it is somewhat accurate (all people are build differently so going by weight and height rather than leg length and circumference is an issue). Your best bet is to try the exact brand and model at a local store and see how they fit.

Get the M. I'm 5'10" and bought the L. I love them! It will be snug but thats the point of compression support. Good luck!

I found that my height left me between sizes (a2-a3) as well. Frankly, both work, but if in doubt I would go with the larger size to prevent any chance of restricted movement, though you would also have more, and looser material to both choke and be choked with.

I'm 5'8" 195 (Pretty built, weight is evenly distributed across my body) and the large is tight. I would go with a large, perhaps the next size up.

I'm 5'6 and 145. I got med I believe. They are tight but that's what you want. They also have a drawstring. I'm big legged and have a big hinder so med works just fine for me. Hope that helps!

I'm 5'4" 120lbs, I have the 4". My waist is pretty tight, so that size works well for me. I wear mine for more posture support and posture reminders when lifting rather than injury protection.

I'm 5/4 145 I use the small, it's pretty tight so the medium sounds right for you.Marry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Hi I bought two if these one size fits all I'm pretty sure they will fit! I'm 5'1 145lbs n I fit it them perfectly in fact they run a bit bigger they are great for leg circulation that's why I bought them!

@Adolph H. - I purchased the extra small - I am 5'5", 145 pounds. My pair seemed a little more snug than I am used to but after a few rides they seemed to break in. I would order a large - I'm afraid extra large would be too loose.

I would assume to choose large but I am not sure your body type. I left up to the seller. I sent a message on the comment part where to send the seller a message, but I assure you my shipment came in unexpected and quick. Mine is a waist 32 and my hips are a size 39. I'm 5"0 and weight 145 pounds. If you like a bit more in tightness you may want a medium. I have big hips so I choose the large/XL. Hope this helps.

Go with the next size up. That s/m is too tight for me, and I am 5'5" at 165.

I can't knowledgeably answer this since I'm taller than you and haven't worn a small since, well, ever. If you think you're going to lose a few pounds, I might go with the xs. These are compression tights, so they are supposed to compress. There is nothing more annoying than tights that want to fall down while you're running.........

I am 5'4'', 120lb. The medium fits me well because I do not like tight clothes. S should be good for you.

I'm 5'8 and ordered a standard LRG iy fits great. So you might want to opt for the med or small depending on the rest of your mesurements. Hopes this helps.

Go with your normal size. It is designed to run small and fit under a brace. This one is the only brand I found that continues to stay in place.

I am not sure what size you need, but I am 5'6" and 125 pounds and the small size fit me snugly. I was glad it was snug, because I did not want it to snag or catch while I was doing my race. Good luck :)

Hi these tights will help you for vein support and I think you should order a small size because of you height. I'm 5'4" and 100lbs and the XS was the right size for me but for your height a small will be ok for you
