Do Hanes tights adapt to body comfort?

Last week, I got these Hanes shaping and smoothing tights as a sample for review in the mail. The package stated:

Designed to adapt to your body temperature for all day comfort.

I have to admit I was skeptic. Tights serve to insulate our skin against the elements. Thus, the statement would mean that the tights would only marginally conduct body heat to the environment, i.e. only enough to avoid overheating.

Tights for thermal comfort at below zero temperatures

Last week was perfect to test them. We had the first cold snap of the winter with temperatures down to -15F (-26^oC). Under these conditions, I usually wear two pairs of tights, but I wore just this pair of Hanes tights. What was the difference? I did not feel a difference in thermal comfort when walking the maybe 300 yards from the parking lot to the office building. The legwear’s insulation worked as well as my usual wearing two pairs of tights.

The big advantage was less bulk. 🙂

Why is this great? Because any squeezing of the toes in boots due to doubling of tights means your toes get cold faster than without. Learn more on avoiding cold feet at frigid temperatures in this guide.

I really love the fact that these tights permit omitting to double up on tights. <3 🙂

Now, what about the thermal comfort inside the office? I swapped shoes as all women in Alaska do. I wore the black pumps shown in the photos and felt fine. My legs and feet weren’t sweating at all. Well, they also weren’t cold.

Another feature is the high waist shaping and smoothing panty (photo below). It gives full control from the bra down. The gel band helps to hold the tights up without VPL. <3

Great price-performance ratio

The price of these beautiful tights is only $18 in their online store. I expect them to last for at least one winter season, if not longer. Given that they are black, they can be styled with nearly every skirt or dress, i.e. they are a wardrobe workhorse. Thus, the price-performance ratio is excellent. I will definitily buy a new pair once these have to be retired.

And yes, I would recommend them to my BFF.

In summary

The opaque black Hanes tights shape and smooth your belly and legs while keeping you comfy in winter when walking a couple of blocks. They are wardrobe workhorse of great quality. For only $18 the cost-per-wear-goes fast below $1. This thershold is my criterion for an excellent price-performance-ratio. You can buy these Hanes shaping and smoothing tights online.
