MELBOURNE: Men have invaded ladies' fashion domain a little further, for after 'man-bras' and 'manscara' the latest must have for men is "mantyhose."
"Mantyhose"or pantyhose for men have become a popular sheer garment from truck drivers to cowboys.
A self confessed male hosiery-wearer, Harisnya is so passionate about the issue he set up e-MANcipate, a website which he says aims to "accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item".
The website offers men a step-by-step guide on how to wear pantyhose without damaging it. Harisnya declares that the website, based in the United Kingdom, is "as serious as fashion can be". He is adamant that both males and females should be allowed to wear the sexy sheer garment.

IBTLJS!
We wear them waterskiing in the bay when the nettles invade.
No, the UnderArmor is much warmer than pantyhose, depending on what grade of UnderArmor you buy. I do a lot of outdoor winter sports and do some work outdoors in the winter, and believe me, pantyhose got nothing on the real thing. Pantyhose really hardly keep my legs warm at all, and they have FEET in them that keep your feet from benefiting from warm socks.

This thread is priceless without pics.
UnderArmor men’s fitted legging $54.99
Good pair of pantyhose $5.00
Speaking from LOTS of experience with pantyhose over the years, I can tell you a couple of things:
Pantyhose don't last very long, and you will spend that $5 over and over and OVER again in just one season of cold weather. They get holes in them, they twist and bind, they run, and finally you have to throw them out. Proper long underwear will last for many years and are cheaper in the long run (no pun intended).
UnderArmor or Patagonia or similar items wick sweat away from your skin so you don't get cold from your own freezing wetness.
Pantyhose don't protect you from wind and don't have any insulating effects.
Honestly, I have to wear pantyhose every day. I don't mind them. I would never wear them for serious riding, hunting or skiing in the winter, though.
LOL! I’ve got that song on a CD somewhere - I think it was from the Bob and Tom Show.
