There is no worse feeling than getting ready to leave the house on a chilly day with your favorite pair of tights and then watching them immediately start to rip as soon as you put them on. We've all been there, right?

Thankfully, we now have an option. Sheertex is a Montreal-based intimates brand that designs "nearly indestructible" tights made with a proprietary fiber that's 10 times stronger than steel, which is typically used to make bulletproof vests and climbing equipment.

Sheertex is a female-led company, led by Katherine Homuth, who was inspired to design the unbreakable tights after noticing how frustrating it was for her grandmother to constantly rip her pantyhose. She spent months researching different materials before deciding on the polymer she used in Sheertex's leggings.

This material isn't something you're used to seeing in intimates, but it makes these tights some of the toughest we've ever tested in the Good Housekeeping Institute's lab. Unlike the nylon blends many other brands use, Sheertex uses a fiber that's a proprietary polymer made from a polymer used to make bulletproof vests and climbing gear -- it claims to be 10 times stronger than steel and won it a coveted title as one of Time magazine's best inventions of 2018.

If you're looking for an affordable pair, this option offers a range of colors including nude, black and white options as well as polka-dot, seam, striped and glitter styles. It's a great value for what you get, and testers loved the fact that it was comfortable to wear yet durable enough for repeated wears.

It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so if anything were to happen to the product, Sheertex would be there to help you fix it up.

They're also a great option for people with sensitive skin, as they're made from cotton and have a soft waistband that doesn't ride up. Plus, they come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect fit for your unique shape.

Besides sizing and durability, Sheertex's tights are also made from a more environmentally friendly fabric, which doesn't require as much energy to produce or transport. Unlike traditional nylon, Sheertex's tights are made using a recycled polymer, which requires less water to produce and less fuel to transport.

In addition, Sheertex's tights are machine-washable on cold or hand-washed, and the brand offers a wash bag so you can keep your tights clean without having to worry about them smelling like chemicals. Additionally, Sheertex uses a renewable energy source to run its factory in Canada, which helps the tights have a smaller carbon footprint than some other alternatives.

Sheertex's tights are also a great choice for people who want to try tights that aren't typically made from nylon, as they're one of the only companies that make their products out of a polymer with a higher Denier count than typical nylon. This allows them to feel smoother and more delicate on the skin while still maintaining a high level of strength, which is important for tights that you'll be wearing for a long time.
