Note: The longest (good quality) nylons survived (for me) was 300 miles (holiday in the midwest).
The worst (POOR Quality) nylons did not survive 7 seconds...

LINK "V" belts are a wise addition to your garage and car emergency kit.

Dead serious. I'm sure some knots are better than others for a panty hose. I am looking for actual experience using a panty hose as an emergency belt.

300 miles on a panty hose is amazing, 7 seconds what good is it? So it depends on the quality of the panty hose? I imagine for the panty hose to work and get you out of a bind in an emergency, it must be tight enough to grip and not slip? If it slips, it will burn up and break?

How long will those link V belts last and what kind of tools do you need to install them?
