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.

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

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 run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on 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.

I take mine on wildfire assignments, and use to dry after showing...because they absorb SO much water quickly, and then they DRY back out quickly....I haven't used them to WASH with, but I don't see why not, as they do absorb water...and they DO dry out quickly !!!!!

I was in the rain last night and it performed well. I would add this word of caution; Proceed carefully when in slippery conditions and avoid walking in them when you can.

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

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've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

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 think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

I have 4 different pairs. No issues. I used one pair as board shorts in water and no problems!

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.

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 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.
