Ski Diva Extraordinaire
The Clymb.com has both the full length and 3/4 length CW-X Insulator Stabilyx tights on sale for $59.98. They only come in black with pink piping. I purchased these from another website a little over a year ago for more than $100 with shipping.
They are definitely tight - like Spanx for skiing, but offer great support for the knees, abs and lower back. The band running along the thigh is supposed to offer additional support. They are totally opaque, so you could wear them alone for running. I layer them under my soft shell pants, and on super cold days, add a pair of stretchy fleece-lined baselayers over them for added warmth.
Here's the link, but you may need to create an account to view the sale: https://www.theclymb.com/brand-even...l&utm_source=ET&utm_campaign=021913+inov-8+vC
