Product Insights
Simons' Sheer-Effect Winter Tights ($35 CAD) promise warmth and a bare-leg illusion through opaque polar fleece lining and polyester-spandex shape retention, but tradeoffs include sizing limitations (fits 5'–5'9, 50–82 kg; may be too short/tight above that), inevitable pilling of the beige lining (reduced by cold wash, air dry), chafing rear seams, difficult dressing due to thick fleece, and overheating above freezing; unlined feet require socks; moisture wicking is not breathable for high activity, making these tights best for cold-weather commutes with dark outfits.
Verified claims
- Size limit
- Tights may be too short or tight for wearers above 5'9/82 kg.
- Shape retention
- Polyester-spandex fabric resists sagging due to low moisture regain.
- Sheer illusion
- Buyers say the tights give a bare-leg illusion, though they are opaque.
- Durability
- Beige lining pills easily; cold wash and air dry reduce pilling.
- Warmth
- Polar fleece lining provides good warmth for winter, but the feet are unlined and the insulation is not rated for extreme sub-zero cold without layering.
- Comfort
- Soft fleece lining with good stretch and shape retention, but some buyers find the rear seams uncomfortable and the thick fleece makes them hard to pull on.
- Care
- Requires cold wash, air dry, no bleach to maintain fleece lining.
- Pilling
- Some buyers see beige pills from the fleece lining after minimal wear, especially where the fabric rubs.
- Price comparison
- At $35 CAD, it is a mid-range alternative to European sheer-thermal tights, with a $21 premium over basic fleece.
- Dressing
- Buyers report thick fleece lining makes dressing a struggle and risks warping; one-size fit causes sliding down.
- Cold-weather use
- Warm enough for cold-weather wear under dresses and skirts, but not rated for extreme sub-zero cold; feet are unlined and need socks in cold weather.
- Limitations
- The thick fleece lining can feel too warm or bulky for mild weather, and some buyers find the rear seam placement uncomfortable.
- Fit
- One-size fits 5'–5'9 and 50–82 kg; may slide on narrower hips or be too tight for larger frames.
- Stretch comfort
- Made from a stretch polyester blend with an elastic waistband, providing enough give for comfortable all-day wear.
- Pilling prevention
- Wash these tights inside out in cold water and launder them in a mesh bag to help prevent pilling and keep the fleece lining smooth.

Collant
Excellent
Très chaud mais coupe très étrange
L’intérieur du collant est doux et chaud mais il ne cesse de descendre et le positionnement des coutures à l’arrière est très étrange et inconfortable. Je ne rachèterais pas.
Warm & soft, but seams are odd
These tights are so thick, warm, soft and luxurious. Unfortunately the sewing is a bit strange - the seams on the butt area are very uncomfortable; perhaps they are designed for larger people (I am 125lbs). The foot area of the tights isn't lined, so no worries about your shoes not fitting! Overall a quality product but the design didn't fit my body comfortably.
Décevant
L’idée est excellente, mais le produit n’est pas de bonne qualité. Le polar a l’intérieur est beige, et le collant noir. Dès la première fois, le collant est recouvert de petites boules beiges. Pas très élégant! Pour la chaleur ça va sur les jambes mais pas les pieds. Étant donné que je l’ai porté, je ne peux pas le retourner. Mauvais investissement,
The perfect tights for Canadian winters
I’ve been meaning to buy these tights for more than a year and the ones I found had a lot of bad reviews so I was hesitant. I decided to give these ones a shot and they’re perfect! The waist is very comfortable and they’re super warm and stretchy. They don’t have fleece in the feet, which I already knew, but nothing ankle socks can’t fix.
One size fit pas à tout le monde
Selon la charte, je crois comprendre que je devrais entrer dedans, j'ai trop déformé le bas collant en l'essayant pour un retour!
Juste parfait
Un collant chaud à l’aspect d’un vrai collant car il donne l’effet de voir la peau. Ce qui donne un aspect chic qu’on prit porter avec tout style de robe ou jupe. J’adore
Cozy but one-size is tough
These are so cozy and look great, however the "one-size" were a little short on me and the waist was a bit big, so they kept slipping down. I would love to be able to purchase separate sizes to find a better fit.
Taille unique !!!
comme le collant est disponible qu'en taille unique et que je mesure 5'3'' l'effet diaphane est moins visible malheureusement. Mais ils sont confortable.
Pilled beige balls through the black sheer tights
I wore these once. They pilled where they touched my skirt.
Je peux travailler en robe et ne pas geler
Confortable
Exactly what I was looking for!
These tights give the perfect sheer effect I am looking for to be able to wear skirts and dresses in the winter and still stay cozy. I typically wear a medium or size 8 pant and these fit comfortably and still have some stretch to them
Ce collant est certainement très
Ce collant est certainement très chaud mais il est aussi très épais à cause de sa doublure caoutchoutée, ce qui fait qu'il n'est pas facile à enfiler. Je le porterai uniquement pour me protéger du grand froid.
The perfect winter tights
Fits well
Chaud, mais inconfortable
Ils sont chaud, tel que décrit, mais les coutures sont bizarres et les rendent inconfortables à porter
Parfait sous jupe l'hiver
Parfait sous une jupe pour nos hivers.
Tellement WOW!
Il est chaud, doux, agréable à porter et fait l'effet d'un collant ou bien d'un legging. Très beau look! Je l'adore!
Beau mais taille grand
Le collant est tres beau, mais il est beaucoup trop grand au niveau des hanches et de la taille. Donne un effet couche
Warm layer
comfortable, warm tights are perfect for the cold weather. wearing these allows me to wear dresses and skirts in the winter time. I sized up to ensure it would fit (a little big is better than too small)
Collant doublé
Je ne l'ai pas essayé. Je l'ai choisi en regardant les commentaires des autres acheteuses.
Tights
This are warm and good quality winter tights.
Grandeur
Trop grand, à tendance à descendre. Sinon, côté chaleur, la doublure est parfaite et très agréable à porter.
bas
très beau - mais trop épais pour moi - pas esseyé
Game changer for winter
I wear tights all winter, these are comfortable and they look like they are regular sheer tights. Brillant- 100% recommend.
