Has anyone ever worn these to a mud run/obstacle course race? If so, do they dry fairly fast? How did they perform?

I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed. I personaly don't like that but it gives you good range of motion.It does dry pretty well but i have only used tinto workout although i am a heavy sweater.If you do buy these for a mud run i would suggest wearing compressing. Pants under them to protect you legs and thighs for moisture and mud.One other thing try to get the correct size.if you get it to big it will flare out around the leg similar to a skirt or over sized shorts. Hope this helps. I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed.

I have worn them to the beach on many occassions and they dry within minutes after getting out of the water. Nothing better out there for the money.

your feet feel dry even when they are in water. I ran 6 miles in mud and water and did not have a sore or blister on my feet. You can't do that with cotton socks.

I wear them to lift and for long runs, they don't move at all. I think they have a video on the site of Tebow doing Snatch/Cleans.

Have had these installed for 3 months now heavy rain plus offroading in mud. no issues. Keep in mind that nothing is waterproof.

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

Honestly, I got them in the Spring and plan to use them this Fall/Winter in Idaho and Alaska. But they look better than previously owned crampons I've owned. Their primary function is ice (and that's what I'm using them for). I suppose if the mud/gravel wasn't too deep then they would work. But these are primarily for walking on icy trails or streets. Cheers!

I've never been in the rain wearing them. As far as sweat, well, they are for runners.

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

I use them in my Jeep and I NEVER have a top on the summer. Many rainstorms, zero problems. I have sat on them soaking wet and in a few minutes my butt and back are toasty and they dry my seats very quickly

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

I bought mine for triathlon. The width was essential for my comfort and getting it wet is no problem at all.

No, they are not. They are made of black fleece with a plastic "skid" pad. These will definitely absorb water in wet conditions. They work well in dryer conditions, to protect from salt and other road chemicals in the winter, and keep feet a little warmer but, they get wet easily.

I use mine for cardio (DDR and running) and they stay on just fine. The only issue is that when you sweat a lot you have to dry your ears but other than that I love them. For weight lifting they also work fine. The only issue there would be when you lay down flat such as for doing bench press. They kinda move a bit so you have to fix them.

I've had them about a month. Like the comments below, they are not heavy duty, but they are made pretty well. I use them when I ride 4 wheelers on the weekend. We ride in the woods and mud. I've been knee deep in mud and they haven't leaked yet. Sticks and briars hit them all the time and they haven't picked or torn yet. The best way I can describe the fabric above the boot is a silky nylon, medium thickness. I don't worry about abusing them with what I use them for, but you might with beaver dam busting.

I wear a size 10.5 shoe and bought the "large" size socks. They fit great! These are awesome socks! I have lots of friends who have purchased them as a result of my endorsements, and they all love them too. They are perfect for even super wet and muddy trail running. I just wore them yesterday in a 11 mile Tough Mudder, and they worked amazingly.
