Customer Reviews Commando The Essential Sheer

I ordered a pair of the princess sheers awhile ago, and they ripped on first wearing. Commando was great about it, and sent me a replacement pair and let me know that the Princess Sheers are very delicate. This time around I ordered 2 pairs of the Keeper Sheer in medium, as the description makes them sound pretty hardy. Alas, yesterday I went to put them on for my second day at a new job, and they tore as I was pulling them on. I purchased the correct size, and was not trying to squeeze myself into an unrealistic fit. I pulled on my cheap, already twice worn, pair of Hanes instead. I've been too afraid to pull out the second pair of these that I purchased - they're pretty painfully expensive for something that won't even live up to one wearing. I'm very disappointed.

I was so excited about these tights but my finger went through then immediately as I put them on. I tried wearing them anyway and in the hour I wore them they kept catching on little things and ripping all over. Really disappointed in the quality considering the price.

really pretty, loved the waist cinched top. However they snagged and ripped to shreds before I could even wear them . Shoddy fibers? For that amount of money it was insulting.

Very comfy panty hose, sizing is accurate, and the feel is soft. Not cheap but totally worthy the price.

I bought this today. And I really wanted to love them. They look and feel amazing. However, during my first wear, today, they ripped. It has three runs on the right side and I'm just so disappointed. Very expensive for something that lasted one use :(

These are the best sheer tights since sliced bread. Comfortable and do not run like your typical hosiery.

I love these things! They look great, they don't cut me in half and they don't run at the drop of a hat/1

I work in a funeral home so hosiery is required. I have tried several different brands and Commando is by far the best for quality and feel.

Comfortable no roll waist band! No digging or "making" rolls you don't have! Suggestion: go on the larger side for more comfort.

Very comfortable, The waist band is much more comfortable than most hose. The only hose I buy now.

It's hard to go wrong with hosiery from Commando- the quality is excellent, the fit is wonderful, and the waistband is unparalleled. The only hosiery that comes close is Wolford, but they don't have the nice waistband. I would say, though, that the keeper sheer is slightly less durable than the princess sheers, and when I make my next purchase I will stick with the princess sheers. With the princess sheers, I can get 15 + wears from one pair, but with the keeper sheer tending to snag a little more, I worry that I will only get 5-10 wears. But on the positive side, the keeper sheers are more invisible than the princess sheers, so if you're aim is "sheerness" than these are the ones to go with.

Working in a busy Law office there are lots of obstacles. File cabinets, desks, open drawers, book carts, etc...These can mean the end to a pair of pantyhose. These Keeper Sheers from COMMANDO are worth their weight in gold. No snags, runs, or tears even after the occasional run in with the office furniture, and they make my legs look fantastic. I wear pantyhose or tights everyday. These Keeper Sheers are so great. They glide on, so snags. Stay in place with that wonderful Commando waistband, are cool to the skin thanks to Commando's generous cotton gusset, which means no panties, and no unsightly panty lines. They retain their shape beautifully, never bagging at the knees or ankles, or bunching at the foot while in pumps. The toe seam stays nicely put tucked under the toes so I have no problem wearing them with my peep toe pumps. The yarns are silky and smooth and maintain that flawless look on the leg. They are also great for a night out, be it formal or casual with a short skirt, since they are sheer to waist with no dark contrasting line where panty portion would meet the leg. I have purchased and still possess over twenty pairs of your legwear and have recently been purchasing your panties and thongs. I am hooked. Whether dressing for the office or attending a formal event, Commando is my go to for all of my lingerie needs. Would love to see more legwear in different colors, but still with that one of a kind Commando waistband. Your forever fan MariaPia :)

I am wearing these for the first time today and am loving them. The hose were easy to put on and I don't feel like I am being cut in half by the waist band. I am 5 feet tall so I have a short distance between my hips and ribs. The wide waist band is great but extends above my rib cage resulting in it rolling down to form a roll of hose at my waist.

I have generally really liked these -- comfortable waistband, good weight, and no runs along the legs, but it is much easier than it should be to accidentally punch a whole in the stocking when gripping a bit below the waistband to pull up the thigh. That's happened to me on a couple of occasions (although I have had very good customer service experiences). It does seem like a design problem, though.

Almost perfect! Finally a waistband that doesn't dig in, legs resistant to runs and snags, and overall good fit. If the black color were true, as opposed to more like a faded black or a charcoal, I'd say 5 stars -- as it is, 4 1/2.

I love love the panty on these. It doesn't roll or create a line or worst create a bubble at the waist. After wearing these, I really don't want anything else but they are expensive and will "run" so you have to be super careful when wearing them. After ruining the first pair I've been very careful with the second pair and have not had any problems. I definitely recommend them especially if you want a really smooth look around the waistline and the sheers are soft and comfortable on the legs..

Really wanted to love these. Fit, feel and look amazing. Developed a big run on the back of my leg, the second time wearing these. I get pantyhose are fragile, but for the price I'll have to stick with more affordable hose. Really nice pantyhose, but durability issue is a deal breaker for me.

popped a hole in both sides right at the top of the leg near the shorts portion the first time i put them on :( i still wore them all day and didn't have further issues with them, other than a little roll down at the top of the waistband at my waistline, but i wish i didnt have to be quite so careful putting them on...

Horrible; I ordered a large and it was so hard to put on I gave up.

I bought these tights for the holiday season and wore them twice (no wash in between), after which they promptly ripped in two different places. Very disappointing given the price and anticipated quality.

Packed for vacation and when I opened them up there was a hole in them. Didn't pack other tights so had to wear. As I put on it ripped a bigger hole

Never got to wear, tore while I was putting them on for the first time. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money.

The waistband was very comfortable as stated, however the "Fusion technology prevents snags and tears" is a joke! After carefully dressing, there were snags, holes and runs in them before I left the house. Very expensive for the quality.

The first time I wore these I got a hole in the toe. The quality of the Princess Sheer Control was much better but you have discontinued that.

I love the fit of the waist of these hose. The legs are very sheer and can run easily. Be very careful putting them on.
