Our Review

The first thing you notice about these tights is the packet.  The model on the front looks to have oiled legs. My suspicion is that she has in fact got oil on her legs and this is a "marketing message", "wear these tights and your skirt will slide over your legs as though they were oiled.
If this is the case it will be the first time in my experience that a tights packet showed a woman not wearing tights.
The look and feel on the card are promising, these tights have an air of quality. In the hand the material feels smooth but not that soft.
The construction is quite unusual. The legs are sheer from the sandal toe to the top of the thigh, with some shaping at the heel.

Max Mara acT

20 Denier, 88 % Nylon, 10 % Lycra, 2% Cotton. Price: £15.00

The brief area is detailed as a pair of high leg panties cut quite narrow between the legs.  There is the cotton gusset you would expect on tights of this quality.
Above the panty there is another sheer strip of about 40mm depth before the waistband which is about 20mm deep.  All the seams are of the flat type.
The visual effect once on is off sheer to waist pants with hi-leg knickers.  The benefit of this is that you get the look without any risk of VPL. 
The fit is very good from hip to toe, the unusual waist construction stops roll over. 
20 denier is just a little too heavy though, it is a pity Max Mara could not make these tights softer and 13-15 denier.
All in all very nice tights for under a slinky dress, particularly if you prefer not to wear the alternative of a g-string under sheer to waist tights.
