... would you believe that they actually have an advertisement for these on page 112 of the Jan/Feb edition???

http://www.comfilon.com/

I can just hear Jeff Cooper, or Clint Smith, or Mas Ayoob, if anyone showed up on the firing line at one of their courses wearing these!

 

[2k5Adam]

Hahahaha

Anyone wearing those will get pwned.

 

[David W. Gay]

HAHAHA

So, Preacherman, how many did ya' order???

 

[oneslowgun]

Ahhh... do those come with a Lipstick....ahhh... I mean Chapstick holder?

Sorry, I'll stick to my "trapdoor" long johns.

 

[Preacherman]

David, they're not my color...

(Although I might get a pair for Mas Ayoob, just for the pleasure of hearing his language when he opened the package! )

 

[Red Dragon]

Man-ty hose? uh......no thank you.

 

[torpid]

Anyone who posts in this thread (besides me) is wearing them...

 

[IZinterrogator]

It has been alleged that some soldiers and Marines wear stockings to avoid blisters while doing long ruck marches.

I have yet to meet anyone that does it (or will at least admit to it).

 

[Powderman]

Believe it or not, depending on their construction they might actually be beneficial to certain guys with circulation problems--as in the wearing of support socks (compression socks) to ensure good circulation and to prevent the pooling of blood in the legs.

 

[hso]

As odd as it seams to us guys compression hose are beneficial for increasing circulation and preventing clots and collapsed veins and are prescribed by physicians to men as well as women. Since many of us spend most of the day behind a desk these things could be beneficial.

That said, yee gods, they couldn't have made the photography any more "unmanly" without getting pornographic.

^ LOL

I'll still stick to my Under Armour stuff...

As The Article Sez..

"This Just Ain't Right!"

Take Care

 

[Hot brass]

You wear those around my friends and the ribbing will go on for years. I will stick to thermals.

 

[WarMachine]

How does compression help to improve circulation?

 

[jsalcedo]

Thanks a lot.

I just had to swallow my waffles for the second time.

There is a difference between thereputic "support stockings" and a guy wearing panties and hosiery.


All he needed was a garter belt to be complete.

The pussification of the American male is near completion.

Years ago, I raced bicycles. Prior to polypropylene underwear, we used to put on pantyhose as a first layer for winter road training.

WarMachine,

It helps prevent blood from pooling in the lower extremities of people who sit alot or are not very active. When people who are susceptible to this stand up they can "gray out" momentarily and fall down, possibly causing severe injury. The medical term for this condition is called orthostatic hypotension. Another remedy, other than wearing compression hose, requires rythmically tensing the leg muscles for a few seconds before standing.

 

[flatdog]

Here's a link to explain the compression part. Your on your own with the "sheer " part.

[The Crazy Gobbo]

When I took a SCUBA diving course the instructors recommended panty hose for anyone who had trouble getting into their suits.

 

[bogie]

Used to wear panty hose. Slightly modified.

Under a football uniform. Helped with the cold, wasn't bulky.

You wear those around my friends and the ribbing will go on for years.

The mag is published in California, right? Hmmm . . . some parts of the state ('Frisco?) you wear those and you might make some new friends.

 

[Kim]

If any man I know ever takes off his camo and I see he is wearing some of those I will die laughing then say sorry Bud but this is just not going to work out.

 

[Meadhall]

I actually thought the funniest part was the disclaimer at the bottom of the page that "this is NOT a male pantyhose fetish site". BTW, I had seen this in AH but decided to check the site out. Had to wait till I got home, as our firewall at work had it blocked due to "provocative attire."

 

[M67]

Preacherman, the top two threads in Non-Firearm Weapons right now is one about a baseball bat shaped walking stick and one about silly string. Both by the same poster. Now this. Are you going for some sort of record here?

 

[lbmii]

Preacherman, great, just great! I went ahead and clicked on the link. No how do I get that image out of my head! All sorts of issues now! Very confused but strangely curious and desiring to look again. I hope you’re happy. You’ve got me now loitering around men’s restrooms at movie theaters that play a lot of artsy foreign films.
