Yes, people still wear pantyhose and tights (especially now that fall is officially in full swing), and yes, people still shake their fists at the fashion gods every time they put on a pair because it’s only a matter of time (sometimes mere minutes) until a dreaded run appears. Sheertex, which launched in 2018—claims that its $60 Classic Sheers won’t betray you like the others. However, given my personal history with pantyhose, I wasn’t 100 percent sold on their indestructibility, so I decided to really put them to the test.
Before I get into what might qualify as pantyhose abuse, though, let’s briefly discuss Sheertex’s patent-pending knit technology. I say briefly because the brand has kept pretty mum about how the pantyhose are crafted. What I can tell you is that they’re made from a bulletproof material that Sheertex purports is ten times as strong as steel and that cannot be ripped apart by human hands alone.
