Nilufer Atik tries Sheertex Sheers's £75 unrippable tights

There's nothing more frustrating that forking out for an expensive pair of tights, only for them to rip or snag after a few wears. Here Nilufer Atik from Surrey puts Sheertex tights to the test to find out if they really live up to their indestructible reputation. Sheertex Sheers, which have been created in a laboratory in Canada, promise to be non-rippable - and Nilufer Atik, pictured, put them to the test in her day to day life Nilufer Atik from surrey tested out the £75 pair of ultra durable tights, to see if they could really withstand day-to-day life and was impressed by the results as they didn't ladder even when she pulled at them with her fingernails When you live in a country where the weather remains cold for much of the year, tights are a necessary evil. Nilufer deliberately caught the tights in the zipper of a skirt to see if they snagged, and then pulled them as hard as she could - but they still remained intact No matter how hard Nilufer pulled on the tights, which are said to be 10 times stronger than steel, they would not rip The Toddler Test The first test I decided to give them was my two-year-old's toddler music and dance class. Nilufer even took a pair of scissors to the pair of tights - and even then, she found she could only create a small hole that wouldn't rip any further on a second wear Cutting the fabric left some small holes, but these didn't develop into ladders when the tights were worn The Rip Test Then the Rip Test, pulling them as hard as I could to see if they'd rip.
