Very little knee support
These tights are not bad. I miss the support of the CW-X banding, but their tights are not designed for the male anatomy...the entire package, ya know. The seam goes straight through the crotch. So, I went with 2XU's. I feel like these are made for elite runners, not the average-joe Clydesdale-type, with a few extra pounds. I need to wear patella-bands, or my CEP knee braces, over the knees with the 2XU's, but since I am retiring from marathoning, and switching to mid-distance at age 61, these should be okay for a while. I wish there was a version made with a higher and wider waste-band, though.
