Outdoor Voices reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Soft cloudknit fabric loungewear
  • Durable rectrek pants construction
  • Playful, distinctive colorways
  • Thoughtful pockets and details
  • Inconsistent, unreliable sizing
  • Stiff, slipping leggings performance
  • Sweat‑showing, thick fabrics
  • Variable durability in seams

Outdoor Voices earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers soft, durable lounge and athleisure standouts like CloudKnit joggers, RecTrek pants, and the iconic Exercise Dress, but performance pieces—especially many leggings and some bras—feel stiff, slip, or show sweat, and sizing runs inconsistent. Reviews of Outdoor Voices also flag variable quality and fit (plus-size and petite needs unmet), while praising unique colorways, thoughtful details (pockets, adjustable straps), and long-wearing fleece and basics; great for everyday movement and errands, less reliable for high‑intensity workouts.

  • Was gifted one of the dresses which I use to play Tennis in! Wish I had more of them but find it kind of pricey and wish they came with a padded bra. With the dresses you have to choose between lined shorts or a padded bra but no option for a dress that has both.

  • I had a blast in their store in Boston, and I think their products are unique yet versatile! I wear mine all the time.

    Perhaps a few more products and less of a barrier to entry in terms of social media and price points.

  • I own a couple of pairs of leggings from OV. Their branding is great and styles are functional and cute.

    Feedback

    The material is way too stiff. I hated putting on and taking off the leggings!

  • love the designs! quality materials and so practical. great in-store experience every single time.

  • My favorite running shorts. I ordered a few pairs and some sports bra tanks to run hood to coast a few years ago. Not only did they make it through the relay without any rubbing or issues but I wear all of it all the time and everything is still in great condition. The colors haven’t faded and I’ve never had any problems with it.

    Feedback

    They’re already perfect. I’ve got nothing to say.

  • I love OVs clothes! I have bought multiple of of the zipper bras, doing things bras, dresses, shorts and pants. The zoom 3.5 shorts are my absolute favorite item. They are so comfortable and have side pockets for your phone.

    Feedback

    I wish their sizes were more consistent. I wear large in shorts, medium in pants and dresses. I normally order online and if I’m trying a new product it’s difficult to know which size to get.

  • I got the workout skirt for myself, and several mens tshirts/sweatpants for my BF. They are the softest shirts, he absolutely loves wearing them! The skirt was nice but seemed like you could find something similar at a different brand for cheaper.

  • I have tried a variety of products from OV and I’ve enjoyed several. I highly recommend the Exercise Dress. This was a staple during my undergrad years! I own three, and I still wear them whenever I have a chance. Some of the leggings I would pass on, as I am not a fan of the Textured Compression fabric and the cut of the waistband.

  • I have more Outdoor Voices than I care to admit. The clothing is comfortable, high quality, and reasonably priced. I also like that their collaborations expose me to new brands.

    Feedback

    They could be more size-inclusive. I am generally a 12/14 and take an XL or L. It's great that they have models that show off size inclusivity, so it throws me off that they could do more to expand their size offering.

  • Obsessed with my OV dresses. Currently wearing one now. I have a few of the classics but want more of their new ones. The built in shorts are a god sent.

  • I love OV. I've been buying them since the early days! Though some things have changed over time, I'm still a loyalist to them!

    Feedback

    Make more sizes! Be size inclusive!

  • I love everything from outdoor voices. The company's missions, the diversity of body size and race in their models, it's all fantastic. I do feel as though their sizing is a bit off and causes me to have to size up, but otherwise i love everything I've bought

  • Out of all my workout clothes I still consistently reach for my OV sets when I can. Quality is great (make sure not to put them in the dryer as it can affect elasticity) and I'm a fan of their sustainable practices/packaging.

  • I really like the shirts they have, they’re comfy and soft. Their leggings however were too thin for my liking, I have a pair of their bike shorts and they fit weird with a thin elastic at the waist which wasn’t flattering

  • Love the TechSweat fabrics and tennis skirt options. The brand gets a A+ on the cute athleisure look. But compared to lululelmon, I find the fabric a bit too thick and not as stretchy for what I prefer during my workouts.

    Feedback

    Improve the technicality of the fabrics, offer thinner fabric options with good stretch.

  • Love all of my OV items. Great student discount and for the most part, clothing wears well over time.

    Feedback

    I live near a store and the customer service inside can be hit or miss. Pretty typical overall for a Soho store however. If you don't look a certain way, you won't be helped.

  • Depends on what items you get, but cute activewear overall. I love their socks

  • I was gifted a bunch of OV sweatsuits for my birthday 5 years ago, and have lived in them almost every day since receiving. I wish I could say I have a tie to the company that influences my review (because honestly I'm so obsessed with them, but I don't, at least not yet). I own the All Day Sweatpants, Tees, and Shorts (everything in Navy and Grey). Despite wearing almost every day and multiple washes (regular machine wash and dryer), they look and fit exactly the same as they did the first day I wore them. I haven't purchased anything from Outdoor Voices, since I already own so much from that original gift and the quality has been incredible.

    Expansion into Canada.

  • I'm a big fan of the 7/8 leggings. Perfect fit and length for me. I'm 5'4.
