Our Review

The name of these tights translates to “Ultra Fine” and you can both feel and see the fineness when you take them from the packet. 

Sheer to waist, although in our test pair (size 3, the largest) there is comfort gusset that is much heavier than the sheer legs.  There is nothing on the packaging regarding the gusset design, we can only surmise that the smaller two sizes have a conventional gusset. The quality of construction is excellent with flat seams in the panty with heavier material either side of the seams and in the finger band to give greater strength. The legs are shaped at the heel and finished with a sandal toe detail.

As you would hope and expect with such sheer tights they are almost invisible on the leg, simply adding a hint of shine and even colour and texture.

The sizing is accurate and the fit on the legs is very good indeed, the fit in the panty of the size 3 is somewhat spoiled by the comfort gusset, which is not really that comfortable, just more generously proportioned for ladies with bigger hips. Size 2 should be big enough for most and our tip would be to choose that size if you are marginal between 2 and 3.

At €7.00 these are not cheap but they are well made tights that promise to last well, ideal for the summer or just to add a little colour to pale end of winter legs.
