So you don't know but the kuiu must be superior? The do use nylon and poly in there blend which apparently you didn't know also soaks up water and needs to dry out.
I used thier first nywool which also did exactly this not sure now the "new" new blend is now for this issue
You mean First Lite's nywool? I think that's separate issue. The Guide is not wool. I think wool pants have a durability weakness just because they are wool.
Gotchya. Yeah, this looks like their merino 210. I've heard of issues with pilling on these.Nope talking about this.

I'm not saying anything is superior. I'm just tell him the guy asking the question what I'm pretty sure I remember reading. You know to help him out. Also called talking.
Everything gets wet and has to dry out. Even "waterproof" clothing. Nylon and polyester are hydrophobic. . . which means they absorb little to no water. Apparently spandex does. I've definitely noticed the difference in dry times with Nylon pants with differing levels of spandex. Lower spandex containing pants, in my experience, have, indeed dried faster. . . but sadly, I am not a scientist and do not have solid data for you. If this was the only basis on which a clothing company was to be evaluated then Kuiu would be the best! Honestly though, I think their Peloton 200, just as an example to the contrary, dries rather slowly and it is 100% polyester. With that in mind, I think the way the material is knit also plays a role in how fast it dries. This seems to be the case often with thicker materials where the moisture has places to "hide".
This also shows that Nylon absorbs more moisture then what I was originally thinking. I also looked up an article on Toray's website and this is a quote from it "Even using the same type of nylon, water-absorption speed will vary depending on the shape of the formed product. Figure 35 illustrates that phenomenon. ".Well spandex isn't exactly a sponge.
