Between Stabilyx tights and the running tights, which provide the most support for knees and quads?

CW-X Stabilyx tights are awesome! I'm 58 yrs old and doing 5k's. Couldn't do it without them. My knees,hips and legs feel great.

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

I've been wearing mine continuously for weeks and have only noticed a little discomfort when my knee is fully bent (e.g. sitting cross legged). Since my knee is a little loose now after I injured it, I wouldn't be able to run. Having said that, my only concern is that your knee will probably get really warm while wearing the brace and running.

Depends if you want tights to stop just above ankles in which case they are probably too short, but product itself is great: fabric thin but good stretch, has withstood washing well, feels like a second skin!

The open patella style knee brace seems to lock it in place on the knee for me. Others that I tried without the open patella would ride up or down depending on what I was doing and bunch up under the knee which was very uncomfortable. By the way I LOVE my pair of open patella braces. Great support for my Arthritic knees.

I use mine for running and it never falls off. It's a pretty tight fit. I never had a problem with them at the gym.

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.

These have nice ankle support. I am an active person, so I'm not sure if having more developed leg muscles is the reason for feeling stable butt, all in all, you feel secure while blading.

I would say a II. It is the most support that I can comfortably compete in. Other systems such as hinged supports like the "active ankle" do give more support but are far to rigid to cut and accelerate in. The mcdavids are the best ive found.

Patch on the quads. They have consistently prevented quad and hamstring pulls since I bought them. Beats trying to wrap them, hands down. Wholeheartedly recommended.

We ordered a small for a 5'3" 115 lb. girl and they fit well. Yes, the material is stronger than tights.

No i think they will not be very comfortable while running. The other thing is that they are very tight on the knee top and create some discomfort. So what i will recommend is that try elastic one the reason i purchased these one was i thought they will be very good in support but turn out that they are good at supporting your knee but they have other problems as mentioned above. I hope this helps.

I have no problem with movement with these braces. I could run with the brace, although I prefer to use stability pants and use these between runs if I feel the need for additional support. You could easily run with these on and they would stay in place.

I agree with your question. I don't have the support anymore. The support part of the brace on my knee was good, but there were rather hard rubber band type things at the top and bottom, which really cut into my legs above and below my knee. I would not recommend this brace to anyone. It was not helpful; it was uncomfortable; and didn't seem to have the proper sizing for the top and bottom to go along with the knee support itself.

I'm short with thick legs and the stockings fit fine. The elastic doesn't dig into the back of my knees, and I've never had a problem with any runs or holes.

I can suggest one thing to look for, but I don't know your specific answer. Some of the Body Champs have front bars that are straight whereas others curve to give you more knee/leg room.

Yes I use the brace when I play softball and it does not impede my ability to run.The brace provides stability and I found it to be sturdy and not rigid like some other braces that I previously used.
