Are these pantyhose really unbreakable?

The company uses a proprietary fiber found in bulletproof vests and climbing equipment to make its pantyhose.
It claims its pantyhose are \"unbreakable in human hands\" and 10 times \"stronger than other pantyhose on the market.\"
\"We’re taking a product category often seen as old-fashioned and unstylish, and creating a product category that is long-lasting, sustainable, and fashionable,\" the company told \"Good Morning America.\"
Sheertex's Classic Sheers come in six colors, ranging from light to dark, in an attempt to make their sheers more inclusive to all skin tones.

Four of our producers tested the pantyhose for a week and none of them ripped.
After wearing the Sheertex Sheers for a week, \"Good Morning America\" producer Elisa Tang said she was shocked how durable they were.
\"I tugged on them, tried ripping through them with my engagement ring, but nothing could tear them apart,\" Tang said.

Despite the pantyhose not ripping on our watch, the company does say the pantyhose \"are not invincible against all odds.\"
Durability comes at a price, as the classic sheers are $59. Typical pantyhose at a retail store can usually be purchased for less than $10.
