        The Sugoi subzero tights seem a bit long for my stubby legs... ugh but oh well they fit comfy. I am about to go and try them for a run, sadly it's 40 degrees but I forgot to bring my capris to the shop.

          The North Face Winter warm tights are just as long.  I actually prefer the longer length so my ankles aren't exposed.

            I do like them down to my ankles, though I wear long, thick socks during winter. There is just a lot of fabric left over down there, I just ignore.

              I don't have that problem. How tall are you?

                I don't have that problem with my Sugois either? I'm the same height as FS, 5'3". The inseam goes from 28" to 32", depending on size. 28" is almost too short for me. Maybe they have changed their lengths since I bought my tights.

                  I own one pair of 2XU tights, which I use only for racing in cold weather.  I have thermal Brooks pants I wear when training in cold weather.  They keep me warm no matter how cold it gets.

                    Yeah, I'm 5'3 but Lily you might be shorter in the torso and longer in the legs than I am - I have a longer torso but stubby legs....that might have something to do with it?..... I am not sure if there is a difference between the subzero and midzero but I went ahead and bought the subzero tights.  think there's about 3-4 wrinkles left over either at my ankles or below my knees if I draw them up and hell I try to get the tights to stay near my belly button, that still doesn't help. My other tights fit me just fine though, I can't remember if they are Saucony or Brooks, I'll have to take a look.

                      I'm closer to 5'6" so that explains it.  Anyway, my Midzero's seem shorter than the Subzero ones.  I also have some Brooks and Mizuno tights that are a bit shorter. But the North Face ones are nice and long.

                        For some reason, I am reading the topic as "Thighs - Help me Pick"

                         

                        perhaps I'm dyslexic in addition to all the other issues

                          From the Internet.

                            I finally got to try out my SubZero tights this morning - 24F and they were plenty warm, A+. Length of the S was more or less perfect on me but I've also got a couple inches on you, FS (5'5).

                                I find it's only when it's single digits or colder that these tights aren't enough.
