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 use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

I used them with Chaco sandles in Hawaii on a muddy trail. Worked great for me.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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??

They fit pretty well. I've been running (both outside and inside) and I haven't had problem with them slipping out.

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.
