    See - and I'm only 5'4" and most things are WAY too long on me because I have very short legs. That said, there are very few tights that are actually too long on me (pants, yes, stretchy things...not so much). This is because I have larger legs, so stretchy items expand to the side and therefore are rarely too long once on (even if the measured length is long). It's one of the few benefits to big legs!

    I can't find short rain pants, but for tights, I just order my regular size. I've only had a problem once with a pair of Castelli tights that were too long.

    I am 5'2" with a 28.5 to 29" inseam. I found that men's small tights often fit me just fine b/c men tend to have shorter legs for their height than women do (proportion-wise). So my warmest winter tights are men's Cannondale, size small. I got them for a very good price on the sale rack at Performance, because not many men wear a size small!

    I'm about 5'5" with about a 29" inseam. I really haven't had any problems with tight lengths.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
