Chad Love: Would You Wear Mantyhose?

By Chad Love

Pantyhose.  It's  one of those dark secrets real men just don't talk about.   But if you took x-ray glasses into half the duck blinds and deer  camps in this country you'd find more sexy stockings than you see at the  Moulin Rouge. Ultra-Sheer, nude, black, fishnet, lacy,   control-top, we've worn 'em all, skulking around the woods   worrying that our wives are gonna get really pi**ed if we get a  runner in  their L'eggs.
 
But no longer.  Because the time has come for...Mantyhose.
 
No,  seriously. It really has.      
 
From the press  release:
Hunters  Turn to Mantyhose for Relief From  the Elements: GRANVILLE/OHIO, USA – July  28, 2009 — When fall is  in the air and hunters take to the woods,  temperatures also begin  to drop. By the time deer season rolls around, it  can get bitter  cold after all those hours in a treestand. If you’re like  many,  you’ve worn your long johns under your Carhartts® in an effort to fend   off the chill. The trouble is, they can feel pretty bulky under  the rest of  your clothes—not to mention the trouble with clothing  containing cotton  fiber...So what’s a guy to do?...An Ohio-based  company has a solution to  allow all of us to keep warm and still  retain the title of manly-man.  ACTIVSKIN® sells opaque and sheer  tights designed specifically for men.  Their legwear is tailored to  male body proportions, including a fly opening  to eliminate any  question of this being a truly masculine alternative.  

The company even has a blog at http://www.nylongene.com/. To be  honest  I don't know which is more disturbing: the fact there's a  blog out there covering (so to speak) men's pantyhose, or that it's already attracted 58 followers.
 
OK, so now that the issue's out of the undie drawer,  the question is: if it's  specifically marketed toward men, does that make it manly enough  to wear without shame? Would you wear it, and more importantly, would you admit you're wearing  it?
 
Who knows, but here's some marketing advice for the company: if you want men to feel  comfortable and manly in your tights, then lose the models built like ballarinas and go find some hairy legs and beer bellies...

Motorcycle riders can attest to the effectiveness of having what we call a base layer of some synthetic fiber clothing between the skin and the outer layer. It adds a huge benefit in controlling moisture (sweat) and preventing chaffing. You can bet bikers ain't calling them anything that sounds like pantyhose too.

Ever heard of biker shorts?

If they work, I'll wear 'um. I've kept a pair of some kind of panty hose tucked into my work bag, along with my expedition weight long johns, since I've been going to northern
locations. By northern, I mean north of I-10.
Anybody that wants to can say anything they want to, I'll just smile and stay warm, instead of being macho and freezing.

After having a spinal cord injury,the doctors gave me to wear compression hose, or TED Hose, for circulation purposes. When I was strong enough to get back to deer hunting I wore them under sweat pants and insulated bibs and stayed warm on stand all day in low 20deg temps. Now I joke they're strickly for medicinal purposes only. Thanks doc.

Its called underarmor, they even sell it in Camo.

Ken obviously has a better product in mind regarding the Underarmor. My kid starting using it several years ago. Underarmor does not look like it would do much but in fact it is quite effective. Just be sure you are buying the correct type depending upon whether you want to warm up or cool off.

And good grief, what is this site coming to? Man boobs and mantyhoes on the same day! No rainbow decals?

I am not real crazy about the idea of prancing around in the woods with a pair of mantyhose on, mostly because men don't prance well, but if nobody at hunting camp wears them around to be seen in, I would not ridicule anyone for wearing them... besides, a man can go to great lenghts (no pun intended) to keep the shnuds from tucking themselves somwhere under the left ventricle when the mercury hits -20. Cold weather can do a lot to stifle a man's pride after all!

Just because they're marketed specifically for men, doesn't mean they're manly. I.E. Pink ties and male manicures.

Personally, with all the base layer options out there, is there really a need to shed .04 of an inch and emasculate myself simultaneously?

Manty Hose! Most of the women in my circle refuse to wear the things, the crotch slips down they are just uncomfortable. I can't see why a man would want to wear em unless he was looking for an excuse to wear them, 'cause theys girly and all. If I gotta wear stocking (for some rare formal thing) I prefer a garter belt, much more comfortable, less muffin top etc. I tend towards butchness anyway living out here in the swamp and all, my perfume is more likely fly dope than anything floral.
Manty hose? Somebody is definately thinking a little too hard...

Interesting negative comments. Personally I'll admit I wear tights under my waders for the icy mountain streams and they make a clear difference. Long Johns or union suits are fine but way to bulky and their cotton content make me colder if I sweat (which anyone who wears waders and seriously flyfishes knows happens a lot)

What I find interesting is everyone bagging on tights for long johns and under armour. In reality are they not just a different type of tights? Call it what you will but all you wearing underarmour or long johns are just wearing tights by a different name.

I mean seriously, does calling them something different change anything?

To those who still resist, thats your problem. But when you're either freezing or have that Michelin man feeling cause your weighted down with so many layers while tramping through the woods, think about how much nicer it could be without the bulk and with a layer that wicks away sweat so it don't cool you down later...

your choice

I do wear them, i am 37 yrs old and have hunted all my life, after 7 spine opperations, and need hip surgery, its the only way i can hunt, i wore surgical hose b4 which are not male anatomy friendly, and also wore womens support tights in past until i found comfilon.com, i wear the style with fly for hunting, and other support styles other times. I dont care what people say, they dont see anyways, i will do anything i have to to be able to hunt and fish its my life and almost all i have left! i do dare anyone who does notice somehow to say something, my wife accepts it, and i have to say i wouldnt fault any man for wearing, even if not for medical reasons, some wear womens pantyhose and wouldnt say, i think everyone should man up and try them befor passing any kind of judgement, chad you should also try a pair! clothing does not make a person gay(unless clothing to the extreme i guess) and to prove that how many times have we come home and wife had our flannel shirt or coat on? our sweatshirts? our boxers, lounge pants ect... do we get them therapy or divorce them? unless someone is real insecure about thier manhood i challange why not try them? can always carry business card of comfilon.com or even the package to prove, if you must, that they are mens, come on we all tried underarmor and its close! thanks

Duck Hunters here have been wearing them for decades however the shift lately has been toward the type of tights bicyclists wear in cold weather as those are deemed more manly.
I will admit that I thought I knew what real cold was having spent my school years in NY, but duck hunting in the sounds in NC with a cold damp NE wind blowing off the ocean in freezing weather can be pure misery. It seems that damp wind will blow through just about anything.

But when you're either freezing or have that Michelin man feeling cause your weighted down with so many layers while tramping through the woods, think about how much nicer it could be without the bulk and with a layer that wicks away sweat so it don't cool you down later...

your choice

wouldn't be caught dead in them, long johns and under armor have been good enough for me.

How do they keep you warm. They look see through, so whats the point of them other then wicking away sweat. I will stick with long johns and underarmour.

They bringing back Joe Namath to market these?

Maybe they should call them Long Underwear Lower Integral Socks (LULIS). But I would have to take mine with Long Underwear Upper Integral Facemask (LUUIF).

As noted above, UnderArmor works well, although it's expensive. I'll bet the PantyBros ain't cheap either.

I don't really see much difference between these and U/A, Endura Skin and other silky feeling under garments, other than the enclosed foot and what appears to be a short like area at the top. That being said, what's the point? Why would I get something like this if what I've got already works?

I do wear them, i am 37 yrs old and have hunted all my life, after 7 spine opperations, and need hip surgery, its the only way i can hunt, i wore surgical hose b4 which are not male anatomy friendly, and also wore womens support tights in past until i found comfilon.com, i wear the style with fly for hunting, and other support styles other times. I dont care what people say, they dont see anyways, i will do anything i have to to be able to hunt and fish its my life and almost all i have left! i do dare anyone who does notice somehow to say something, my wife accepts it, and i have to say i wouldnt fault any man for wearing, even if not for medical reasons, some wear womens pantyhose and wouldnt say, i think everyone should man up and try them befor passing any kind of judgement, chad you should also try a pair! clothing does not make a person gay(unless clothing to the extreme i guess) and to prove that how many times have we come home and wife had our flannel shirt or coat on? our sweatshirts? our boxers, lounge pants ect... do we get them therapy or divorce them? unless someone is real insecure about thier manhood i challange why not try them? can always carry business card of comfilon.com or even the package to prove, if you must, that they are mens, come on we all tried underarmor and its close! thanks

They make a great base layer if you are manly enough to not care what everyone else thinks. They are realy comfortable. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Duck Hunters here have been wearing them for decades however the shift lately has been toward the type of tights bicyclists wear in cold weather as those are deemed more manly.
I will admit that I thought I knew what real cold was having spent my school years in NY, but duck hunting in the sounds in NC with a cold damp NE wind blowing off the ocean in freezing weather can be pure misery. It seems that damp wind will blow through just about anything.

Ken obviously has a better product in mind regarding the Underarmor. My kid starting using it several years ago. Underarmor does not look like it would do much but in fact it is quite effective. Just be sure you are buying the correct type depending upon whether you want to warm up or cool off.

Manty Hose! Most of the women in my circle refuse to wear the things, the crotch slips down they are just uncomfortable. I can't see why a man would want to wear em unless he was looking for an excuse to wear them, 'cause theys girly and all. If I gotta wear stocking (for some rare formal thing) I prefer a garter belt, much more comfortable, less muffin top etc. I tend towards butchness anyway living out here in the swamp and all, my perfume is more likely fly dope than anything floral.
Manty hose? Somebody is definately thinking a little too hard...

I wear my base layers, but if I thought mantihose would keep me warmer/dryer I'd wear them. To me staying on stand is all about comfort, if wearing hose is going to help me, I'll hang em high and proudly at deer camp.

REDHEAD ENDURASKIN OR UNDERARMOR!!!! Good Lord guys, let's keep the estrogenical treachery out of the masculine image of a man, a hunter, A SPORTSMAN for cryin out loud. Love the lady sportswomen, absolutely nothing wrong with ladies hunting! Men don't need to imasculate themselves to stay warm though.
