These were backordered but well worth the wait! I wore them this morning and found them to be very well made. I am tall and often find it nearly impossible to find tights long enough to fit me. Overall a great tight at a great price!

I have the previous version of the road runner sports tights in long (long running tights are near impossible to find!). The old version didn't have zippered ankles, and were long enough to wear tucked over my heels (under the socks). The new tights have zippers int he back, so i can't tuck them under my heels or into my shoe without ripping up my feet, the bottom hem has rubber on it as if to hold to the outside portion of your shoe, but it doesn't hold and instead just bunches up above my ankle.
These tights are long enough, but b/c of the zipper i still end up with a swath of skin exposed to the elements.
These are heavier tights than the original version, still need 2 layers in weather below 32 degrees. The knee vents might be good in warm weather, but in cold they are a detriment.
Despite hating the zippers, i would buy these again. I'm 6'0 and these are still the best long running pants available.

I'm very pleased with the length of these tights (I'm 5'10" and have the ST), the mesh behind the knees for ventilation, and their overall comfort. However, the ankle zippers rub off the skin on my ankles to the point of bleeding.

Only wondering why it took me so long to try these running tights...I love them! Great fit and they hold well after washing. I got the tall sizes, and for once my tights are nice and long for my 5'9 frame.

I was ecstatic to find running tights in petites, but they are (no surprise) too long for my 5’ frame. The fit is otherwise great, except the ankles which are too tight, and with a back zipper, my poor Achilles is rubbed raw after a mile or so. Move the zipper to the outside, add more reflectivity, and I’m sold – but as is, I’m sorely disappointed.

Ordered these tights last week and love running in them! I've been comfortable in them from 35-45 degree weather. As for fit, I am 5'6 and ordered a medium; I agree with the other reviewer that they are slightly long (maybe an inch?) but it doesn't bother me. I will be ordering another pair to get me through our mild winter!

Good tights, especially since they are the only ones I could find in Petite lengths. I am 5'4", 130lbs, and the medium fits perfectly, a tad long at the ankles but not too bad. I took one star off because the venting material at the back on the knee is quite scratchy and annoys me after a few miles. Hopefully it will soften over time because they are totally comfortable otherwise.

Just got these tights and wore them last night. Great tights! Love them and will be ordering another pair since they are a great price. The only minor issue I had was they are a bit long. I am 5'8 and order the regular length but I had to pull them way up in order to have the ankles not bunch. But even still they are great.

There is good and bad with these tights - the good was the weight of the fabric and the length (I have a hard time getting tights long enough)the bad is these are hip huggers - no where in the decribption does it say that they hit below the waist - unfortunatly this means my serch goes on - had to return the tights

These are the best tights that I have ever owned. No special care required--wash & low heat dry. Perfect! I am 5'9" and wear a size 10. I have a 34.5 inch inseam and a short torso so I never thought that any tight would be athletically functional and have a great fit. I am sooooo happy that I was wrong! I love them and just ordered two more MT's.
There's no rubbing, chaffing or irritation at all (I have extremely sensitive skin too). They are warm in cold conditions (30 degrees) and breathe well and are comfortable on warm days. I wish that all RRS gear (including tops) were available in tall sizes for tall women but these are a great start. Thanks RRS for making these tights!

Best tights I've ever owned, much better quality than the more expensive ones. Wanted to order another pair but you're out of XS's :(

awesome pants! They are silky and really light. I am over 6' so I got the large long and to my amazement they are almost too long!! My only complaint is the venting material on the back of the knee is slightly annoying after mile 7. But otherwise fantastic tights.

Love these tights. I've been running in about 20 degree weather and they are perfect. The only thing I don't like is the drawstring. It is very thin and doesn't stay tight. I'm 5'4 and the length seems about right, but when the drawstring comes loose a little, they get baggy around the ankles. Overall, though, they are great for the price.

I actually wrote into R.R.S. looking for the perfect tights for biking/running now that the cold weather has hit Maine; these were recommended. I am 5'11/155 and went with the MedTall. They are absolutely AMAZING! I ran my first half marathon today in them in 40 degree weather and they were PERFECT! The length (which is always a concern for me) was great, no cold ankles this morning. Will end up purchasing another pair of these for sure!!!

I love everything about these tights. Buy them. They are the perfect length for me (I am 5"4). I love the mesh vents and the zips at the bottom. I intend to buy another pair. I also have the capris for warmer weather and they are great too.

These tights are AWESOME!! I wore these out today for a run in 30 degree weather and they were perfect. It is so great to finlly have a pair of tights that is long enough for me (I'm 5'10"). The small talls are a perfect fit. FYI - they weren't showing up as available online, but I called and the wonderful customer service rep was able to get some for me.

Overall, for the price I'm happy with these tights. I am short (5'2") with short legs, and they fit me perfectly. Although I was told on the phone that the petite would be about an inch or two shorter than the regular size, I ordered both and if anything the petite felt a little longer (but were all over more snug). The one negative is the construction of the back pocket--there is only a layer of mesh between the contents of the pocket and your skin, so when I keep my keys inside it tends to chafe (and the location of the pocket is not a place where you want chafing!)

These tights are great - be warned though, that they seem to fit a bit short - I'm only 5'2" - about 112-114 lbs, and ordered the small/petite and they are ALMOST too short for me. I love the low waist, but these are pretty short; even for me. Great fit and REALLY comfortable - excellent value for this price!

Love, Love, Love these tights. I am a small/tall person and the small/tall size was a perfect fit. Very comfortable fit, great at combating the cold morning air and mesh on the upper thigh and lower leg allows breathability. These are a must buy for any women runners!

These tights are great. I love them. I thought from the picture that they might be too loose around the hips but they conform perfectly. I use them for running and biking.

Ditto with Tall and Lean. The weight of these tights is perfect. I'm 5'8", 125 1bs, and pretty long-legged. The Medium-Long was way too baggy, so I went with the Smalls, but they are much too short. Small-Long would be awesome!

These running tights are going to get a lot of use as the weather starts to get cooler. I'm actually going to buy another pair so that I'm ready for Fall. The fabric and fit are right on!

I love the thickness and feel of these tights. They are very simple (I am not crazy about those with all the bells and whistles--stitching, zippers, drawstrings, etc.). However, I got a small and they are WAY too short. The Medium Long was long enough but were baggy around the knees and hips. I'm 5'8" and about 130 (normal inseam about 32-33 inches), so I'm not too abnormal for a runner. I stayed with the smalls, but wish they made a small long.
