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 find them fairly quick to dry. I haven't hand washed though, only machine. They do come virtually dry from the machine so if you have a warmish spot to put them overnight I think they would be fine. I would test them at home first, and take two pairs so you can rotate if they are still damp.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

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!

No, they don't bounce. But they short out if they get wet from sweat, do don't run too hard!

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have kept dry at horse shows in flooding rains! Great fit, great look, waterproof, & tough.

They dried very quickly for me. I even dumped some water on the let one day out in the field to test it out. It repelled most of the water and what remained dried quickly.

Yes! I used it for tough Mudder, I went through mud, swam through tons of water, and it gave no problems at all,

I haven't had that problem because I always wear socks and don't get mud over the sides if I can help it. So far, I haven't had mud or water spill over. If I think that might happen, I wear another type of boot or I can avoid the problems areas in the fields. I would think these are just for casual yard wear...something that you don't get your regular shoes wet.

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 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.

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.

I have been pretty drenched running with these and I have not had an issue (yet). I tend to sweat heavily and I've worn them for several 6-8 mile runs without issue.

Yes I went kayaking and they dried in no time. My friend wore jeans and was not so lucky

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??

They're pretty slick. Corning is fine but if it's wet everything is pretty skiddy. If you skid stop you don't really stop if it's wet. Otherwise a super fun tire!

I'm not sure. I dried mine and they seem to be ok, but I've only worn them once.
