Our Review

Sheer to waist tights with a fully shaped leg.  Flat body seams, with just the narrowest of reinforcement either side, and a lined gusset. A soft 2 cm deep waistband with a 4 cm finger band attaching it to the sheer legs.

These tights feel quite light in the hand, and have a texture far more like 100% nylon stockings than tights with almost 40% Lycra.

We tested size 4, but there are 7 sizes from 0 to 6.  With sizes 4-6 all fitting up to 6’1” tall but each bigger size providing more width. With the stretch potential of so much Lycra it is good to see Kunert using size to determine fit, a lesser brand would take less care.

As you put these tights on you realise that there is in fact very little stretch at all, you really do need to select the right size, luckily the size chart seems spot on. What all that Lycra does is to ensure that the fit is like a coat of paint on your legs.

The colour is perfectly even from the lightly reinforced toes to the hips.  The texture on the leg is again like nylon stockings, just a hint of roughness that gives a great swish when you dross your legs.

Excellent tights that will compete directly with Falke Pure Matt 20.
