Snag Tights. Opinions?

115 replies

Hoglet70 · 28/02/2024 17:38

I keep looking at them and I'm tempted but they aren't cheap. Anyone wear them or have tried and thought nah, not worth it. Wondering if they are they worth the extra pennies?

I usually buy Primark tights but I'm too fat for medium at the moment and too short for Large so thinking maybe I need to try something else for a while until I shift some weight.

Expensive but good quality. I only bought xmas ones so i dont know if they last long

MissBattleaxe · 28/02/2024 17:46

You do pay more but the fit is sooo comfy and some of mine are five years old.

ToodleOooooo · 28/02/2024 17:50

They're ok but I must admit that the thick Primark tights are brilliant and mine last for a couple of years. I've had snag tights break before Primark. But if Primark aren't an option then snag would be ok. There is another company, I think it's called Better Tights, that rival snag for less money.

They have questionable morals so I’m not inclined to buy from them anymore. Which is a shame as their tights really are very good.

Ghostofborleyrectory · 28/02/2024 17:53

I found the fit was poor and bought a few in different sizes to be on safe side- all rolled and toes went through quickly.

Mumsnet hates Snag because they cater to men as well (despite everyone and her mother claiming to be gender critical)

IwillrunIwillfly · 28/02/2024 17:55

I've had a few pairs, I've found they fit will and wash well. They've lasted me a lot longer than the primark ones used to.

northerngoldilocks · 28/02/2024 17:57

The older ones were great. The ones I got post lockdown less good than they were re rolling down etc so wonder if they've changed suppliers since the outset. Still better than M&S but would probably try others that people recommend if I actually wore tights enough to need more

Lost my business when they started using male AGP as an advertising method. Compounded when they doubled down on strangulation of women as being a good thing in order to sell badges because apparently middle aged women who believe in healthy sex are just prudes and party poopers.

Elmo230885 · 28/02/2024 18:05

I love mine. I have loads, in lots of different colours. I have some that are still going strong 5+ years after purchase.
The only issue I have is that loads are frequently out of stock now and it seems to be since they diversified into various other clothing items.

Wishitsnows · 28/02/2024 18:08

Couldn’t buy from that company as they think strangling of women is ok

LindorDoubleChoc · 28/02/2024 18:09

Autograph tights are excellent! I am short but fat and a size L works fine for me. They are really such good quality and worth the money.

I won't touch Snag with a bargepole, I hate their advertising.

pickledandpuzzled · 28/02/2024 18:09

I don’t like their marketing. It put me right off and stopped me persevering with the sizing- I found them too long in the leg and wasn’t sure if a smaller size would work.

Mine also went a bit muddy coloured over time, but I’m happy to accept that’s my poor laundering.

Iwant2beJessicaFletcher · 28/02/2024 18:11

I love the tights, the only ones I've found that fit (I've got long legs), they wash well & last years.

I'm currently ignoring their questionable marketing & wokery as I love the tights!

mamaison · 28/02/2024 18:11

I ordered a whole bunch in late 2021 based on reviews and the first pair I wore were absolute rubbish.

They were thick black opaque black ones. They laddered on the first day and my random ones from M&S or Boots never have. They were also an odd shade of black- almost too grey- so they didn’t match my black dress. Again not an issue I have ever had with tights.

What’s more, I had to contact them to ask to return them! There was no automatic self return option then.

Feedtheworld1982 · 28/02/2024 18:13

Like PP I will no longer shop there as they have a questionable attitude to their core market!

huggyhuggy54 · 28/02/2024 18:13

I find they go very bobbly even after following washing instructions and some of the sizing can be off- I brought some that were the same size that I usually used and they kept falling down.
I've decided to try better tights from now on

I loved Snag tights but stopped buying them for the same reasons.

I’ve switched to Better tights, they are better and they’re cheaper 😁

I've had my two pairs 4 years.. wash by hand and still like new.
Wear every autumn and winter.

SunflowerSeeds123 · 28/02/2024 18:21

Their politics are rubbish but I love their tights. The only ones that I've found fit and are comfortable. Yes they are expensive but if you look after them they last for ages.

Mistralli · 28/02/2024 18:22

Not been keen since they sent me a pair where the legs were actually two different lengths - I spotted it out of the packaging, so how did quality control miss it?! They actually suggested I try wearing them to be sure it wasn't a ... "oh it just seems like that" thing, when I tried to return them.

I'm also for serving a diverse market, but I do not have legs of two different lengths! :D

RaininSummer · 28/02/2024 18:23

Good tights but won't buy again as their ads and moral compass is well dodgy.

Hoglet70 · 28/02/2024 18:24

Oh wow, I haven't seen any of this advertising, I've only ever looked at the website.

The tights are good quality and last ages / wash well.

The knickers are fantastic too.

GuessThatGranny · 28/02/2024 18:26

Good quality, comfortable and good customer service
