Has anyone used these pants in a Spartan Race or Tough Mudder type of race? How did they do?

I have run a spartan in these pants. I ran in a full plate carrier with a gasmask and these pants with boots. These pants held up just fine and I still wear them today for field geology and other outdoor activities. Just know these pants will weigh you down and limit your mobility, something you do not want to risk during OCRs since it could put you at a greater risk for injury.

I have not ran any endurance races in them, but I do work as an EMT and wear them as my uniform pants. I have had a couple pairs for almost 2 years now and they are still going strong after being in mud, dirt, you name it and beat to crap, very durable! The Teflon coating wears off after a couple months but they still are pretty stain and fade resistant. Hope this helps a bit!

Yes, I have and they are fine, they don't "hold on to" much more mud than bare skin does.Also. all these comments about DON"T WEAR PANTS are plain old bullcrap There is NO reason not to wear a FULL combat uniform in these races if that's your thing. I and many others have done it. If you want to COMPETE then sure, wear lightweight gear. But for a fun run you can wear a 50'lb ruck and BDU if you want.

I've practically wore out the crotch in these pants, they've got holes in them from crawling in the mud, dirt & grass during training exercises.

I ordered a pair, but the size didn't fit so I am unable to answer your question.

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.

This is by far the strongest toughest and still be pliable at same time. I was impressed. I've used it on waders,wet suite, being from south I'm not familiar with snow pants but I feel that if applied to both sides very thin and allow full time to set I cannot visualize why it wouldn't work. Hope this long response helps. Great product!!

Robert, I purchased a pair of these pants with a 30" inseam. The sizing was accurate, and both the waist size and the inseam matched the dimensions of my other pants of the same stated size. The material is lightweight, and would require a talented seamstress to alter sucessfully.Hope this is helpful. Lynn

I wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

I think so. and I never practiced this sport, but the pants in general is comfortable and lightweight. As upper layer was very useful

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

Did you ever end up wearing this to run in? Would love to heard how it went.

I found mine to be a good fit/comfortable everywhere but the crotch (and no, not making a sexual joke). The pants were kind of baggy/a little large for size, and I've read that for others as well for various sizes- that they tend to run a little large. I thought they were comfortable except for this one aspect, when I sat down being the most uncomfortable down there. FYI: these snow pants are rather cheap- zipper isn't great and the straps/elastic sides stretch easily so these are not something I'd recommend for constant use but maybe a one time/couple time casual outing.

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.

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.

I found them cumbersome. We all bought a pair for a wilderness kayak trip in Alaska last year and the fit for me was ok. The fingers were too long so I had no dexterity at all. Couldn't size down or would have been too tight! Grip is good but if you are fly fishing, no way could you attach a fly or leader.... they did however keep my hands warm like a wet suit would.. if your hands sweat you would want to wear a liner. Hope this helps.

I have a 46"+ waist. and the xxl work well for me. These are just sweat pants with cargo pockets and a camo look.

I work in IT also and nearly exclusively use these pants. The extra pockets are awesome and they don't stick out like regular cargo pants so it's not as easy to snag. I've crawled all over the place in these and the knees show no sign of wear. I've never torn the crotch out of a pair of these either, which is nice.

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.

I no longer ski, but just gave them a try and have no doubt they would be great. Very comfortable too. Let me know how it goes and have fun

yes they are, there heavy duty pants that most of the contracters use in iraq where its 115+ i hike the grand canyon in them last year and it was really hot. these pants are almost like wearing shorts

I would not get them, unless they come in short. I am 5'6" and these pants were a little too long. I got a size 4. My rear is normal size and it fit loosely. But also, pay attention to the previous comments about the zipper being tight around the thigh!
