I will be waring Polly Pro longs underneath the pants.

I have used them before in caves (only like 3 to 5 times) and they work fine. They are somewhat thin, but there is not a single hole in them yet!

If my Polypro's get wet and my nylon pants get wet will they nylon allow my polypro's to dry fast as well (since they are underneath the nylons)?
