I need a new pair of long underwear bottoms. I wrap my knees so I'm looking for something that won't bunch up behind my knees. What do you use or recommend??

CW-X 3/4 length. Stabilyx, in particular. Good support, the compression actually helps with preventing aches and pains later (and prolonging my skiing), and no bunching up. It's a little pricey but there are deals online, even on SAC and Tramdock from time to time.

Nope. They actually lend a surprising amount of support for the knees. I notice it more in running with-versus-without the Stabilyx, but they do help.

I was going to say the same thing. My kids make fun of me because I wear tights, but I love the CW-X stuff. If possible go with the 3/4. I've got the full length and don't like the "hem" down in the boot.

As a bonus, they seem to keep everything in place when you're in the bumps :razz:.

+1. Would like to buy a 2nd pair of these if anyone finds a good deal.
