Hose Review: Funfit Light Support Pantyhose

Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose which I've got sometime ago, but have yet to do a proper review.

Waistband
The waistband is of regular construction; comparatively comfortable with the Elegant All Sheers series.

Material
Despite being 15 Denier, it's a little glossy under light.  It feels a little rough to the skin, due to the grip, unlike the coarse, scratchy feel from drugstore housebrand hosiery.

Panty
Regular boxer briefs with single center seam.  As this range doesn't have a large size, there's no option to get a more comfortable fit.

Foot
Reinforced heel.  The reinforced intersection can be seen behind toes when worn, unlike the regular thick reinforced toe construction, making it decently suitable for wearing with open-toe footwear.

Yarn
The support strength is unexpectedly firm despite being named light support.  This a type of support I feel right for the extensive walkers, standers and sitters at work.

It comes in Color 29 and 30, former being Nude equivalent, while the latter is Beige equivalent, with a hint of pink, making it look taupish toned.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA as first pair is still going strong)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
One of the yarn-comfortable pantyhose.  The fit is a little borderline for my height, and when worn carefully and properly, it's still a great fit.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade, to the Black side

Made a break this morning by choosing an entirely different set altogether; instead of the regular folded berms and skintone hose, I decided to do something different; black leggings completed with black pantyhose:

Attire Roundup: Striped Top with Su.Soku Seamless leggings, folded,
complete with Su.Soku Extra Support Pantyhose.

Lift shot: One of the visual tests outdoors.

Hosed leg shot - Looking good and all set!

This is definitely something out of the regular attire; probably something not commonly seen of men going out in; leggings and matching pantyhose, but I decided to go on with it anyway.

After slipping it on and adjusting the leggings to show enough hosed legs, I completed the look with a bulkier looking pair of runners and off I went.

Sun was hot, lighting the day up pretty well.  There was a mother and child who joined my lift journey down but she didn't gave any weird stares after entering in.  Crowds could be seen walking around in the neighbourhood; I mustered up the courage to just walk on as any one would regularly in whatever attire they came out in, as usual for my grocer run.  Through the mall, down the regular escalator, I reached the grocer to pick up some stuff as one normally would.  Since the self-help kiosks were not operating yet, I had to approach human cashiers.  Made my payment and went off at a regular pace. 

Made my way back using the same escalator, crowded entrance/exit and crossed the road using the traffic junction this time.  Clusters of folks could be seen passing me but I took no notice of anyone looking at my hosed legs while I set my visual back to the normal level.

After a short walk, passing children and parents at the fitness corners, took my lift up as usual, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Chocolately Nyloned

It's one of the evenings where deep consideration have been given to expand the variety of hosiery color that I wear out.  Afterall, skintone shades have become 2nd nature while pale and greys require a getting used to.  Nutmegs work best since they're subtle and yet flatter the legs with the warm hue.

Since I have a few pairs of Chocolate shade hose in my inventory, I decided to give them a startoff today by wearing them with an old pair of baggier, knee length berms.

The shade looked pretty alright to the skintone, under neutral tempature white light.  No doubt the shade makes the hosed legs more obvious, with a combination of a looser fit clothing and bulkier shoes, emphasis on the hosed legs should be much reduced, hence possibly reducing visually targetted outdoors.

As this was a trail journey in this shade, I used it for this short trip to fetch partner in the town area since she returned later than I did.  No doubt she was surprised of the shade I wore today, it'll probably take some time for her to get used to, considering this is very unusual in the local society where I live.

Past the regular crowd near the mall, traffic light and subsequently home without any thing unusual.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade, Nightwalk

Another day that I decided to go offskin shade, as the regular skin shade was already second nature, but I packed skintone shaded hose in consideration of attire matching.

The busy day fleeted by quickly and soon, I found myself liberated and slipping on a pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige shade.  It looked a little fair, yet carries a gentle hint as I had it to match my doublerolled white berms with fine, vertical stripes.  Made my way through crowded areas without any usual visual locks.

Ran some errands back to hometown, which was about an hour's subway ride from home.  By the time I was done, sun was already set; since I had quite a mental suppressing day, the best way was to do something I like, and that is, to hose out with offskin shade hose.

Went to the mall at town central, hoping to find that LaVora range from my favourite store.  However, it was already taken out, hence choices are limited to those available, such as Funfit, CheriLon, Propeds and other less known makes.

Rummaged through all the hosiery carefully and the only offskin shade suitable was Nutmeg, which I've tried and pretty confident in it.  Since I had the regular size, I got a Queen this time, in the same shade, for better comfort due to the garment construction.

Got my hose, went to change and got out.  Nutmeg has a grey-purplish hint, which is much more obvious at night even under bright electrical light; probably due to the nature of the yarn's base color.  No mattee; I went to my bus stop to find my way home.

As I was in the packed bus, I had to stand in the handicapped zone which deemed the most convenient and comfortable standing area.  As the bus hit the last stop at town central, I noticed a luggage bag towing girl was staring at my hosed legs for awhile.  Meddled with my phone and soon, she alighted, and naturally, seat was filled by another, male passenger this time.

The highway journey soon ended and I got off at my transit bus stop.  The male "seat filler" passenger too alighted, and I noticed he was constantly looking at the direction of my hosed legs, which were obvious as he was seated nearest to any oncoming traffic's direction, and periodically turning back and tipping his head out of the regular vertical seating position.

Bus arrived and boarded as usual, with the "fillerboy" still taking glances before he boarded.

The bus soon passed by some more populated area and a couple with baby boarded.  The mother sat at the middle priority seat which my hosed legs are still in full view.  About halfway into the bus ride, I noticed she was staring at my hosed legs from time to time, but no word exchanged during the trip as her spouse was in a further standing position.

Reached my bus stop, crossed the road into my estate.  No passerbys were noticing anything about me and soon, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Off the Skin Shade

After several reviews, article readups and chats with like-minded hosed folks, I decided to go in an offskin shade pantyhose today.

Brought along a pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Nutmeg shade, along with my standard configuration of 2 backups (1 Suntan and 1 Beige shade) as I packed to get to work for the day.

As usual, day went by fast; and since we have an earlier time off, this was a good time to have more hoseout time after work.  Did my usual drill of change, slipped into the Nutmeg shade, which already looks pretty sensual yet matching in the shadow-overcast cubicle, matched off with my favourite slimcut berms (kept the rollups off for now) and walked out confidently.  My usual route always pass by a squad of kitchen workers who are on rest break, lining the railings of the external building, as this is near their kitchen access door.  I noticed they will take glances whenever people pass by; probably due to the fact that few people take this route behind the building.   Sometimes, I wonder if they are looking at my hosed legs.  Whenever that thought passes my mind, I just walked on confidently and normally.

I was greeted by a heavy rain when I got out; since it was raining, umbrella wielders like me will not take note of anything except moving on, and getting out of the rain.  The rain was so bad that it got my legs below knee drenched, changing the shade of my Nutmeg hosed legs to that of my regular skin tone;  it was as if the entire hose had gone invisible.  Nevertheless, I still have to move on to my destination.  I too, took this early out opportunity to get my footwear changed, as it didn't really fit well.  Took the subway, reached my destination without any usual stares; at this time, the hose have dried out and starting to show its actual color; it looks like a mild hint of grey, which can only be noticed if one looks close enough.  

Found the shop, after some exploration as I came here only once.  While the store worker was sorting out my swapping, I walked around and took a couple of shots of my hosed legs, which emitted their shimmer from my viewing angle.  No odd observation from the workers as I was fitting my new shoes. Once my swap was done, I went on to cross the road via the regular crossing.  Minor raindrops could be felt but that's alright, as the walk was relativeyl short to reach shelter.  The hosed legs are in full view under the daylight at trafffic junction, but no one was looking based on my visual radar.

Since I had some vouchers, I decided to head to the nearby mall to see if I can expend them for some hosiery.  However, the store had a measely range so I decided to give it a pass.  The hint of grey became a little more obvious from my viewing angle in the brightly-lit store, but that didn't pose a problem.  Probably the lowcut socks were moist, hence they clinged on to this pair of also slippery yarn pantyhose so I didn't have to adjust it anywhere.  Took the sheltered bridge above, and decided to stop for a couple of shots of my hosed legs, with the soft lighting in this tunnel.

With no luck with restock of my hoisery, I decided to head home instead of heading to another store, which is subway station away.  Took the route to the guaranteed seating place and made my way up the bus, right in time as I exited the station.   Found a comfortable seat and took the quiet bus journey back.  Sunlight was still active, hence I took a shot of my hosed legs, which from side view, appears tactical (as shared by a friend who saw this shot).

Soon I reached my estate, took a short walk, passing crowds without any special notification.  The grey hint on my hosed legs were becoming more obvious, but that didn't mattter.

Outdoor Hose Report - Caffine Hosed Day

Feeling caffiney today, probably due to the morning caffine overdoze at work, hence I decided on this shade after a busy day.

As with my usual configuration, 2 pairs of hose are packed just in case of emergencies, despite the wear time being shorter.  Brought this pair of Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose in Toffee shade along for this evening's wear.

A busy day went on as usual.  Standard black hose under work pants are worn under regular work pants till the day's done.  Considering the fact that there were external folks in the office and exit timing may coincide, I planned an alternative route to make my way back. Usual drill on the change drill at the first level's Gents; final wrap with my linen berms double rolled up to show some hosed legs.

Took my alternative route, passed a regularly crowded staircase assembly with riders, which was unusually unpopulated today.  Got by the route behind my favourite lunch stop point where clusters of tertiary students and working class folks can be seen.  As I was commuting to cross this route, I took stop for a shot of my hosed legs under natural sunlight to see how it looks like from a digital eye (pic available soon).

Decided to go by the alternate route to subway since I have taken this route.  The journey was smooth as I was transiting to the other line from this newly built line.   As I was waiting at the station after changing lines, I noticed a middle aged lady conversing with her male commuting companion, while taking glance in the direction of my hosed legs.  They look a little matt bronzy in the subway station's light; but I wasn't bothered about whether she was really taking glance at my legs.

The train was getting rather crowded by this time, as it was reaching the shoulder of the rush hour.  Coincidentally, this middle aged lady who seemingly noticed my hosed legs stood beside me throughout the ride.  However, due to the rush hour creeping in, the train got rather uncomfortably crowded that I could feel her bag carrying hand brushing against my berms and hosed leg on one side.  Since the frequency was too often, I decided to inch off to a side where there's a little more space.

She alighted after a few stations so I had some peace for the rest of the journey.

Took a tunnel walk to reach the bus interchange since I'm on this alternative route, where there will be guaranteed seating since it departs from the interchange.  No unusual sighting here of my toffee hosed legs throughout the journey.  As I alighted in my estate, the sun had started to set, hence light loss brought about the enhancement of the bronzy look, while preserving the natural, nyloned look.

Outdoor Hose Report - Glossy Booster

Packed a couple of skintone hose and decided to bring a 3rd pair, which was the Su.Soku Sheer Support Pantyhose, in Color 803.  This was in case I decide to go for something different after work.

The usual black sheers went under work pants, accompanied me through the busy day.  Soon, the day ended and I can silkily express myself with a shade I like, with folded berms.  As with my usual changing after work, I decided to go for the Color 803, since the shade was something that can make me feel better for the evening.  Slipped on this pair, with lowcut socks, while keeping the folds at double on berms, as I wanted to keep the look subtle, yet neat.

Took my walk to the busy junction towards subway, crossed it under the bright evening sunlight and I didn't bother who was going to look.  Instead of the regular, speedier route of my subway journey back, I decided to route to a bus ride via another route.  The train was reasonably crowded, considering it was a commuting hour for working class.  I had to walk past an evening sunlit shelterd walkway to the transiting bus stop as I reached the train station.  While walking, I noticed the sunlight casting a healthy glow to my hosed legs making them a little shimmery, yet flattering.

My bus just left when I reached, so I had to spend another 10ish minutes waiting.  This was a crowded area as many pass by to the town central, to the food centre right behind (yes, I am in full view of dining crowd at the food centre), or transiting at this bus stop.  Groups of commuters walked past without bothering about my hosed legs, so I guess it's not that noticeable.  The bus that came wasn't too spacious, hence I had to take stand at the exit throughout the journey.  Passing some town, the sunlight shone on my legs and I could see the shimmer around the edges, just like those shimmer silhouette hosiery.

Another shot at the same place.  It's really naturally smooth to the look.

Soon, I reached my hometown.  Walked through the neighourhood while trying not to bother with the lowcut socks that had already slipped off for good, I decided to find a place to adjust them back to place, while giving the berms an additional fold, bringing it back to the maximum, triplefold this pair can do.  As the sunlight was falling, the tone of the hose got darker on my legs, giving it a sensual look on top of the smooth yarn that was a challenge to do with lowcut socks.  

A short walk soon brought me home without any unusual glances.
