Ela Patrik Tights Review

Well, I received a pair of Ela Patrik tights from Euro Tights to preview. A pair of womens tights was sent for Mrs. PH, however she was not interested in them at all.

When I first took the Patrik tights out of the package, I noticed that they smelled funny. Not funny bad, or funny ha ha, just that they smelled kinda like a cleaner or disinfectant. I washed them, and hung them to dry. Once they were dry, they still had the smell. Was the smell the "antibacterial" treatment? I wore them for a few hours yesterday. They fit well, and appeared to be well made from a fabric that appeared more than sheer hose, but less than tights. They had mild support, not a real tight support. All in all, a nice fitting and well made pair of tights, I only wish that they had a fly. If they did, I would probably buy them, and wear them more often. I just really like having the convenience of a fly in my hosiery.

Comfilon Footless Tights

Comfilon has over the years had a few different manufactures of their footless tights. Although i usually like the footed variety, there are times when in the course of athletic endeavors that I prefer to wear a different sock. Now I tried the old version, the A879. Both times I tried them, they were from a different manufacturer, and both times slightly different. What was similar, was that both versions of the A879, had a brief portion that was made of a different, and weaker material. Both times the brief ran after only a few wearings. I liked the support legs on both old versions, and noticed that wearing them during or after a very long run would help my legs feel better. When Comfilon came out with the new A876 as pictured above, I wanted to try them, but I was concerned about the brief. The Comfilon website touted the new manufacturer, and the tights sturdy stretch fabric. I decided to give the new footless tights, with a fly a chance.

I got my order in last week, and haven't had a chance to try them out until today. I did notice at first glance, that the brief and leg portion were made of the same material. This, I'm sure will correct the "wimpy brief problem" that I had with older versions. Yesterday I went on a really long run. I tried them this morning. My legs felt great. I was doing some cleaning around the house, and the support definitely helped my sore legs. I took them off to do some wok that may have been "hosiery dangerous" and then left them off. My legs started to get a little sore, so I donned them again. Problem solved.

The Comfilon 876's are just what I wanted. They are the same fabric all around, so you could wear them over say bicycle shorts, and they would not look funny as older versions have.

I also noticed that my other favorite athletic wear company Under Armour has come out with a compression tight aimed at recovering athletes. Called Under Armour Recharge, their recovery tights run $89 a pair. With the Comfilon A876's being $20, I know what I'll be wearing to recharge!

New Mens Pantyhose Retailer

There is a new kid on the block, carrying a new line of men's tights/sheer hose, I give to you Euro Tights. http://eurotights.eu/

Euro Tights is out of Latvia, and they carry a new line of Czech tights called Ela

The Ela tights come in three varieties, Sheer 20 Denier "David", a support tight, 40 Denier "Patrik" and a heavier tight for cooler weather, 64 Denier "Adam"

I have been in contact with the owner, as he did what I was thinking of doing earlier this year, selling the Doyeah tights on ebay. I got to admit, the owner of Euro Tights did much more than I would have with his website. I wish him the best of luck, and encourage our readers to pay his site a visit.

I really like this time of year

It is a great time of the year for wearing sheers under my pants, not too warm, and not too cool. There is a very short window for it for me, in the early fall, and late spring. I have come to the conclusion that the Comfilon 549's are my favorite sheer hosiery. Not much more to say tonight.
