I also am a short runner (4'11"). My favorite tights are Nike and I found them at ****s Sporting Goods last year. They are not petite, but they are XS.
Sport Hill also carries petite lengths in some of their pants, but I have yet to find XS. I do have a pair of their smalls that are a little big, but I just roll down the waist! Luckily our winters are not bad and there is always the treadmill at the gym.
I have not had much luck with jackets, so I am curious to see what everyone else has found.

Hee hee, I have the opposite problem! I can never find pants that are long enough! I have a pair of Adidas running pants that are long enough, but very loose in the seat/waist.
There is a company in Oregon that makes running pants in a lot of sizes and colors. www.pacewear.com They might have the length and waist you need, and the colors you like.
When my Adidas finally fall apart (and/or fall off my hips) I'm planning to get a pair of Pacewear pants or Sporthills."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

No, their pants are just knit fabric.

Did you know TE has a running department? Guess it makes sense since we do have tri-geeks on board.

i checked out the TE running wear. i've decided i must be overly pickey. i'm looking for a pair of running pants that are lower rise (not over belly button) waterproof and windproof. i have come to the conclusion they don't exist.

Would any of these work?

I like the look of these. I'd consider them for biking, too, after my current (sweaty) rainpants give up.
