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 am only running about a mile at a time right now. When I get finished running it is wet. Hope that helps.

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.

I use them for running and hiking. Compression good. Feel great and wash & dry 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 think they are surprisingly fast on pavement. They also perform well in gravel and on fire trails. Mud I doubt, and cornering in wet pavement is not great. Grass is no problem, and sticks no problem i would think. They are versatile in my opinion, but its not a mountain bike tire nor a road tire, its in the middle ground, good at many things but not great at 1. Hope that helps.

Yes they are. I have worn them many hours while hunting in Montana and they are awesome! I have not submersed them in water however in snow, blowing snow, slush, etc they have performed flawlessly! They also seem to breathe well and do not make my hands sweat excessivly. I definately reccomend them!

I haven't used the product yet but have tried dry runs and it seems to work fine. It's the same as the one that comes with Wolverine but larger. I hope this helps.

So far mine have been waterproof. I've worn them through thick mud and puddles with no problem. They've were very useful at the dog park this past Spring.

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.

Mine ran fine. They ran a bit tight over the instep. I sprayed with rubbing alcohol, wore them for one hour later they were fine.

Yeah they hold up well in the rain, I was on a training rotation with 30 mph winds laying in the rain on a gun team and they held up great. They were soaked on the foam, but I let them dry and they were fine. Didn't shrink it anything

They are made of the typical one-time-use material. If the mud is wet and gloppy, it might soak through; not sure though. I offer to the contractors who come to work in my house, and I never had a problem. The reason I bought this product was mainly for the size. These definitely fit the large work boots without any problems. I bought XL, and I am happy with them. Good luck.

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

Completely dry. We use them mostly in the water, but on land, no problem. These boots are very durable.

I think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

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.
