Inseam in running tights compared to pants?

I would like to get running tights for winter, but worry about them being long enough (I like pants to be as long as possible without me tripping in them).

I wear pants with a 35" inseam, but running tights are always shorter in the inseam compared to pants - although it may be long enough, 29½" just sounds awfully short to me.

Could you give me examples of what inseam tights are long enough for you compared to what inseam you wear in pants? I'm hoping that'll give me a better idea of what minimum inseam I need.

ETA: I'm looking at Under Armour's women's ColdGear Frosty Tight, which has a 32" inseam - have only heard good things about Under Armour, but would love to hear your experiences, too. Or, you know, not, because apparently getting a size small is next to impossible, or will cost me $118.56, wtf.

I think it depends on the tights. The ones I checked before suggesting are the Portillo tights, tall for those have a 34.5" inseam. Didn't look any further... *g*
