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

Hello Meloniey If you can swim with it then mud cannot be a problem. I am using it for running and biking on gravel and paved roads and it works well. Arne

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.

My wife had no issues with them in the dry. I would imagine they would deteriorate in the wet conditions as it states sweat can be an issue. And if you are considering the pool it would be worse due to the chlorine.

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.

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 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.

I can certainly attest to their comfort and durability - I run 25-35 miles a week and they work great for me...I've worn them up to 20 miles during my last marathon training plan and they don't get annoying. I think they sound fine, but I listen to my music really low so I may not be the best judge there!

I haven't used them with anything so far, just dry. For me they work great dry.

They are not waterproof but wick moisture away easily. I took them on a trail after the heavy rains we had here in Colorado and walked through a stream. Continued the trail for another 3 hrs and they were great! I threw them in the washer after I got home and they look brand new. I wouldn't machine wash them too much but they've been champs. :)

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'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.

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

Hi, I do not workout or run. Therefore, I can not respond to your questions. They hold pretty tight. I used them for traveling, but after a couple of hours I had to take them off. Too uncomfortable and like I said too tight.

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 had not problems with these in the rain. I have drove at night in very hard rain recently and they did well.
