Heist tights - So disappointed

I wear tights pretty much every day and usually buy supermarket tights - I decided to splurge on a pair of heist tights (£27 for a single pair!!) and they developed holes on the first wear… after less than 2 hours. I’m so disappointed. The cheap supermarket buys last much longer..

does anyone have any tips for tights that are comfy (the heist ones were very comfy!) but that won’t ladder / get holes on the first wear?

Snag are my preferred brand. Sometimes I wear Popsy.

Never fall down, never managed to ladder a pair (some of my pairs are pre covid era) and they come in a variety of colours, denier and fit. Not cheap although cheaper than heist I think!

Autograph Seamless. No central seam, as the name implies. The top is like a tube. They stop put and have a practical cotton gusset (knickers optional) and long lasting.

My Heist tights were the same. They gave me a full refund after I sent pictures of the holes.

Thanks! I’ve sent an email to Heist with pictures.. will see what they say. I was expecting them to be much more robust for that price!

@rougechaotic hello. I am considering splurging on their bundle -15% off. Do you mind telling me what denier tights they were? I am hoping the thicker will last.
