Has anyone used these pants in a Spartan Race or Tough Mudder type of race? How did they do?

I have run a spartan in these pants. I ran in a full plate carrier with a gasmask and these pants with boots. These pants held up just fine and I still wear them today for field geology and other outdoor activities. Just know these pants will weigh you down and limit your mobility, something you do not want to risk during OCRs since it could put you at a greater risk for injury.

I have not ran any endurance races in them, but I do work as an EMT and wear them as my uniform pants. I have had a couple pairs for almost 2 years now and they are still going strong after being in mud, dirt, you name it and beat to crap, very durable! The Teflon coating wears off after a couple months but they still are pretty stain and fade resistant. Hope this helps a bit!

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 practically wore out the crotch in these pants, they've got holes in them from crawling in the mud, dirt & grass during training exercises.

I ordered a pair, but the size didn't fit so I am unable to answer your question.

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.

I bought a pair of them in different colours. Waist size is critical when selecting your item and fitts rather Ok. The feeling when wearing this wide built trousers is very comfortable although different if compared with other brands more fitted. If you want this garment to hike this is a good choice. I have been along Atacama desert and more then happy. Good luck hope having helped

Not at all... They are perfect for 50 - 60 degree or cooler weather. The pants run large, not tight fitting. These sound like the perfect pants for you! I wear them here in the Pacific Northwest, cooler days low to mid 30's and warmer days in the mid 50's. Very comfortable in a variety of temps ranging from very cool 30's up to 70's. Enjoy your new Asics Callie!

I think a lot has to do how one is built and how the pants are made. In my case I normally wear a women's 24 in jeans. I have tried on jeans that are too tight and say 24. I have a bigger rear end, smaller waist, and my legs are smaller compared to the rest of me (that changes without notice!). They fit me pretty good in the legs but they wouldn't snap due to the top part being smaller on me. They are not hemed and I wish they had been, I hate hemming pants but one does what one must. I hope this helps and good luck to you.

I wish I could help you. I bought them for my daughter who is a very fit 5'7" 125 lb ironman trainy. She took a size small.

Hey, go to the teen Boyz Dept. These are too tight, too high on the waist part. I mean come on. There MUST BE REALLY cool running pants ( capri ) for boyz your age. LOOK FOR THEM. These are for grown women.

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 wear a 34 waist 30 inseam and I ordered the Medium regular and they fit just a little big. They are actually a little long but not enough to be a problem and I pull the draw straps on the waist pretty tight so I think a medium regular would be a good fit for your dimensions. Great pants. I wear them for work as a service manager/technician in an Evinrude dealership and they have held up to grease, gasoline, oil, battery acid, bay mud and salt water pretty well so far!

I think they run true to size. The leg opening is what matters. I used cloth diapers and training pants, too.

I'm 5'9 and 170lbs and Large works well for me. I've seen complaints with Medium being too tight. Keep in mind I use them over my thermals and they might slightly alter position. But nothing is perfect and feel the 10secs it takes me to pull the very top back over my knee is worth the 2-3 days of knee pain. The amount you move your knees boarding will not keep ANY pads in place. So if you get a size bigger, just put them over an extra layer or over your sweats underneath your snow pants.

I wore them out to Costa Rica and Nicaragua just recently. It was blazing hot out there and my bottoms did get pretty hot still. I only wore them as shorts of course; however, I do feel they were fine for morning and early afternoons. During the rest of the day I was on the beach so I can't say much for the really hot hours. I do feel while in shade when I did wear them (buses, etc to carry my items) I was "okay". Then again, it was insanely hot out. Normally if I wore these in the states on a hot day, I would feel perfectly fine. Crowded areas with no air flow - not so great if you're wearing them as pants. I would still HIGHLY recommend buying a pair. These are fantastic since they're pants and shorts. Really good for nights when the bugs come out or for the airplane when it gets pretty chilly (and when you get off at your final hot destination just unzip them and change them to shorts). Hope this helps you!

Bradford W. these are great RAIN pants, they will keep you dry from rain. However, they are not wading pants. If you are going to use them for rain protection while fishing, then yes excellent choice, if you plan to wade into the water no, not designed for that.

This is by far the strongest toughest and still be pliable at same time. I was impressed. I've used it on waders,wet suite, being from south I'm not familiar with snow pants but I feel that if applied to both sides very thin and allow full time to set I cannot visualize why it wouldn't work. Hope this long response helps. Great product!!

I wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

Yes, I used them in a desert hunt last year and they fit over my danners . Kinda hot but it beats the alternative! !

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.
