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.

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

Personally I feel dryer with a cotton or a Target brand micro fiber. I love the bra from this brand but I am very disappointed in the underwear performance both on and off the body. They are very expensive and I do not see the benefits of them wearing dryer or drying that much quicker when hand washed.

I use very little synthetics, but my undergarments are and they come out static free. I will tell you this, if you leave your load in the dryer and then run it again to remove wrinkles, you will get some static. The way to prevent that would be to dampen a washcloth and throw it in the dryer with the load (if you need to run it again to remove wrinkles). I like this product because it is completely natural and chemical free and with a decent size load, I don't notice hearing them thump in the dryer. Hope this helps!

I dry mine but not on high. I didn't notice any shrinkage at all. Hope that's helpful to you.

The instructions tell you not to use them dry. I think it would be difficult and unproductive to use them dry. I throw them in the washer and dryer, hence they come out dry and wrinkled. They are great when used with moisture!

I don't know. I use them up fairly quickly. I have had them up to a year and they didn't dry out.

They dry fairly quick depending on how long the child presses them down for(longer=more liquid that gets dispensed). It's definitely quicker and less messy than paint. I make sure to roll up sleeves to prevent from smearing on clothing since there might be wet spots for a bit. I bought these when my child was 2 and he did fine with a little help. He's now 3 and still loves them.

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.

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 wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

So sorry for the delay. My husband said that he has not used them around water but he has used them in very hot temperatures where he sweated and that moisture didn't affect them at all.

No Shrinking at All. These are made of fine polyester, no cotton... but still just as soft. We started using these about a year ago and have not gone back since. I shower in the morning and after the gym in the evening. A cotton towel could not dry itself fast enough. Enjoy

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.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

They have a cotton feel, but they are 85% Polyester, 3% Nylon and 2% Spandex, so no shrinkage in the dryer.

Wow - you got 3 very different answers. The reviewer who said cotton is tough is right, so you can't really hurt them. I wash them in hot because I use a heavy-duty lotion, and there's no residue with hot water.
