No, too fat and too short. These insulated ones are not as stretchy as you guys are describing for yours.

Never said mine were really stretchy; I can't pull up the cuffs on my full-length ones like Jeff can. I feel like a sausage wearing them, too. But they do help, even if the knees aren't always lined up perfectly.

You're 5'9" and in the XL? Yeah, that's probably not helping. I'm only short by a bit more than an inch for the size I'm in.

If you guys can get the sizing to work out, though, it'll be worth it.

Mine are pretty stretchy, they look like they would fit an 8 year old before I put them on!

They're stretchy enough for me to get into them, but I think I'm pretty close to the limit in stretchiness once I'm in them.

You should have seen the scene in the bar with Brian, Shannon, and the guy who runs racing.... I know Brian gave me the WTF look? :lol:

Well they kept me warm enough out there today. 15F out with 20+mph winds at the summit. As to their "conditioning" effects, well the jury is still out on that one. My legs aren't as sore as I though they would be, but I was skiing really well today.

bvibert · Jan 4, 2010

I used mine for the first time tonight too. I was worried they would be too insulated for normal use for me, but they were way less insulated than I thought they would be. I normally use lightweight synthetic bottoms at the most under my uninsulated ski pants and these felt about the same warmth wise. The fit seemed pretty good for me, if anything they are a little too short, the bottom of the legs were creeping up into my knee a bit.

Still not sure about the conditioning effects, I was exactly charging hard for the 2 hours I was out, so it's hard to say.

My two cents after trying them for a pretty hard weak out west is that the do work-somewhat. The waist pull and lining up with the knee thing is a bit of a drag.

Id be interested in opinions on the cwx v skins. Whether they are worth the 100 bucks is a value question that is probably an individual choice

So erraaahhhh....you looking at this as inner-wear.....or race-league outer-wear?

Bump. I picked up second pair of these at Pinnacle, while I was at Stowe. Still $49.

$49 is a steal! You should start buying them up and shipping them out for AZers.

It appears they only have XL left on their web site, but they have free shipping!

Is that what you won for the third place finish?

Saturday I wore my CW-X with a pair of fleece pajama bottoms over them and snow pants and was sweating pretty good.

Trying to be like the cool kids? Will you be heading to the mall in your pajama bottoms next?

I had my CW-X 3/4 Stabilyx + a pair of insulated running tights + non-insulated ski pants. Seemed redundant but it worked pretty well.
