Our Review

We are frequently asked for information on 100% nylon tights.  This is quite uncommon in high quality tights but Gerbe is one of two manufacturers to produce Lycra free tights.  I think we can overlook the 2% silk in the gusset.

This style is made in all nine sizes that Gerbe produce, 0-6.  Covering heights and weights from 4’9” (145 cm) and 88 lbs (40 kg) to 6’1” (185 cm) and 230 lbs (105 kg).

Gerbe Voile Gerlon 10 Tights

10 Denier, 98 % Nylon, 2 % Silk, Price: €19.65  

There is certainly a “je ne sais pas” about 100% nylon hosiery, whether it is the allusion to classic nylon stockings, or that the shape of the leg is apparent the moment you remove them from the packet... These are stunningly fine sheer tights giving an incredibly sexy, yet classy, finish to your legs.

Detailed with a boxer style brief, with flat seams, a silk lined gusset and the usual Gerbe signature waistband.  All sizes have what Gerbe call a “comfort band” a rear panel rather than the classic round/oval gusset.

Despite the lack of Lycra there is plenty of stretch and the fit is very good on the legs. The feel is smooth and the swish when you cross your legs feels and sounds divine.  We found that the absence of Lycra was less welcome in the slightly uninspiring matt panty but the beautiful legs and the excellent heel and toe detailing more than compensate.

Also available in a less sheer 15 denier version.  See our notes on the 15 denier version regarding sizing.
