Our Review

Fist impressions are quite favourable, shaped legs quite soft to the touch and with a very obvious shine.

The construction is a little unusual in that the finger band is clearly knitted in with the legs but the deep waistband almost appears to be seamed on to it.

Marks and Spencer Ladder Resist Sheer Shine Tights

15 Denier, 81 % Nylon, 17 % Lycra, 1 % Cotton, 1 % Viscose, Price: £3.50

The panty has a cotton lined gusset and is finished with good quality seams, although not flat seams. The toes are only lightly reinforced and nicely finished.

Fit is very good from hip to toe. The deep waistband sits well and keeps everything in place. Leg length is very generous, so much so that we would suggest that you try a size down rather than up if you are on the size border height wise. 

Colour is very even and the shine finish is obvious but not overwhelming. Certainly a match for the very best 15 denier shine tights in this regard. 

It is probably something to do with the ladder resisting construction but these tights don’t feel as nice to the touch as they look. 

These are the first Chinese made tights that we have tested that come close to European standards.  If they live up to their “ladder resist” claims then Marks and Spencer will have a winner on their hands.  Excellent value
