I typically have reservations buying tights I don't see and check for strength, quality, and durability in person but alas- I was ordering this as part of a Halloween costume and we live in such a rural spot that I just didn't have time to go shopping for everything as it required a 45 minutes drive minimum and a lot of trudging around. Anyways. No such need! These were fantastic- durable, WARM (we live in a COLD area) and I can re-wear them with other outfits!
