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.

I have a set that I wear each week (meaning that a pair of socks goes through the wash each week and gets used each week). I'm not an extreme runner (I run about three - six miles a week), so I can't speak to how they were with a lot of running, but I bought mine over a year ago and they have held up very well.

I have used them on wet pavement and even grass and packed dirt they performed well. They have a lot of grip. Very smooth riding. Excellent tire.

Mine have stayed dry. Very sturdy construction. Stainless hardware. Used in the rain a fair bit and so far no problems.

I haven't tried them for trail running. I fish a lot from shore and tried them on slippery rocks, they worked fine but didn't hold the abuse. the chain broke away from the rubber holes. I don't recommend them if you're going to put them under a lot of stress. they might work just fine to walk from house to car or from parking lot to store.

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 use them when I workout, but when I run with them and sweat, sweat does get in them and I occasionally have to wipe the sweat off, but I haven't had a problem with them not working at the time, if anything just needed to remove the sweat.

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.

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!

You do not to wear pants to run a Tough Mudder. Less is more in a run like that. I wear shorts, compression shorts. My first run a wore a t-shirt is well but I left it on the side of the moutain after the first obstacle. If you must wear something on your leg I would suggest compression leggings.

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

I've used them in heavy rain and when I hit the gym for a couple hours and never experienced any issues. They stay in place and don't get slippery. The sound quality seems pretty consistent, the more expensive models mostly add volume and soundtrack control. I think there is a mic but I've never explored that.

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

I had them for a couple months but I never really got them wet. They are sweat resistant

I used them with chaco sandles for hiking in Hawaii on muddy trail. My feet stayed dry.

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.

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