Does anyone have a good resource for LONG (34 or longer inseam) WOMENS run tights or pants? I am 5ft 10, and wide hipped...I wear an eight or ten pants. I looked high and low last year and ended up with men's medium newbalance pants that promptly shrunk! UGH!!!

I am a hack runner and need to improve this winter...I am not liking the treadmill as much as last year since I have had such nice runs outside this spring and summer. I'd love any info anyone can provide!

Thanks! Trish

Hey Trish - I don't need 'em quite so long, 33 is awesome for me, and currently I don't use tights/pants but may soon need to shop if I'll keep the pace through the winter without a gym... I've mostly scored extra long pants, for any/all use, at places like outlets stores and ross/marshalls/TJMaxx.  It's certainly hit-or-miss, but when I find something it's plenty long and on the clearance rack because no one else fits it

for long maternity pants I had success on ebay... look here for 33", looks like nike makes a tall pant though that link is XL, also try jcp.com, landsend.com.   Hopefully something in those might work?

Goodluck!

Thanks for the info...I have had ok success with Nike...the long pant is a yoga style all around gym pant, not really a running tight or pant. I am in Metro Detroit and it gets WAY cold here! I will keep my eyes peeled at the clearance racks though!

I'm size 8, 36" inseam. I have a couple of pair of NIke running tights that I bought about 4 years ago and they are perfect for length. They don't make that exact tight, but my experience with all their products is that they are plenty long. Try on the men's smalls as an alternative.

I just purchased a pair of Skins compression tights that are THE BOMB. These are insanely great. Women's size medium fits really well and is a perfect length, even longer than the Nikes.

Ohhhh...those skins look awesome! I think I just found an item to put on my wish list for my birthday!

I am going to look at the snow line too to see if they have warm tights for here in MI as well!
