Do these dry quickly and wick away moisture like synthetic, or does the 35% cotton mean they do not?

they do dry quickly, they also tend to be hydraphobic so like spills will run off them, I find them breathable more so than other shorts, and here in the south they are certainly my go to wear

They do dry quickly, but I would say they do not wick away moisture. But they do not get real heavy when they are wet like cotton does.. Hope this helps.

They repel some water but I understand that dry cleaning might take away the ability. The pants are thin enough to dry fairly quick.

yes, they actually wick water so wash right side out and hang dry. If inside out they will still be wet in the morning

I have had no issues with moisture, etc. so i would say they are as air-tight as needed for standard household usage.

We have been macine-drying these (on low) for 5 months and have not seen any quality loss. We only put them outside to remove stains. They dry fast, as long as the dryer isn't too full!

They are most likely a bit of both. Nylon helps them wick moisture. They are outdoorsy and quite comfortable. Hope this helps.

No they do not have to dry between loads, they actually work better if they stay moist between loads.

Yup, pretty quick drying. The sizes run small though so order appropriately :-)

These are slightly damp...but dry out in about 10-15 seconds. So...in my book...that is dry. these ones are pretty amazing!

I have dried mine in a regular clothes dryer on medium, with no issue. If you are nervous you can always dry them on low.

I have just washed them with the rest of the laundry in either cold or warm water. Most of the time in the winter I use drying racks to add more humidity to the indoor air so thus far I have not dried them in the dryer. They do dry quite quickly being air dried.

They're hemp and cotton mix. Not microfiber. Yes I would suggest layering it with either a cotton insert/prefold or a microfiber insert only because hemp does not absorb quickly. Microfiber is like a towel and absorbs quick. Hemp takes a little more time to soak in, but it holds more. These are great I stuff mine with a insert for night time.

I have the same opinions as you regarding 100% cotton and 100% synthetic....I have found the UA "charged cotton" shirt pretty much answer both complaints! If I am anticipating at full out cardio "sweat" workout I prefer the UA "vented" hot gear shirts...they really work well. Otherwise...I am just sold on the "charged cotton" shirts. Great, comfortable top for lifting or stretching workouts. Plus I have found that they are my go to shirt for just bumming around town or going for hikes/walks. They are replacing my other cotton-Ts! Hope this helps.

Microfiber= synthetic material good for wicking away moisture. I love it in workout clothing but in the pillows, they appear to be almost "lumpy". I am going to attempt to return them.

I wouldn't put them in the dryer because they are really soft and they could shrink or get damaged.Moreover, they dry pretty fast by their own.

Fabric is breathable and quick dry, so better than cotton in my opinion and I've worn them in hot dry climates. Would just go with lighter colors to stay cooler.

Yes to keep moisture out. Cotton will not do a better job. They are for packing. Of course the plastic in my bottle simply breaks into pieces every time I open the bottle.

Compared to all cotton, the are not soft. They're really rough if line dried.
