Reviews mention

  • Buttery-soft cloudknit loungewear
  • Durable rectrek pants utility
  • Iconic exercise dress versatility
  • Playful, modern colorways
  • Inconsistent sizing across styles
  • Slipping leggings and waistbands
  • Stiff, less-breathable fabrics
  • Limited size-inclusive range

Outdoor Voices draws polarized reviews: fans praise high-quality CloudKnit loungewear, durable RecTrek pants, and the iconic Exercise Dress, while many criticize inconsistent sizing, variable fabric quality, and bottoms that slip, ride up, or feel stiff. Overall, the brand is good for athleisure and light activity, but multiple reviews say performance pieces (leggings, some bras/shorts) lack stretch, breathability, or support, and size inclusivity remains limited.

  • 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.

  • Some clothes are cute but I generally find they do not wear well and the fit is a bit off.

    Fit needs work

  • Love all things OV from their hats, socks, shorts, to their skorts! I can always count on OV for exciting colorways/styles and innovative products with amazing details like hidden pockets!! The checkout and return experience is also seamless and convenient.

  • I usually have problems with tight around the middle, but these OV pants I ordered are SUPER loose around the middle and tight around the thighs. I keep having to pull them up, which is a nuisance. I don't think they're worth the hype.

    Feedback

    Fit

  • Great fit, but managed to get a small hole on the first wear!

  • Super comfortable! Amazing feel and looks great for daily wear

    Feedback

    Material feels a bit thin on some items

  • As for me, okay, apart from design, however, I do not see any differences between OV products and popular sports brands.

  • I have been a customer for 4+ years now. I can't get enough of their court skort. Own it in every color. I also appreciate that their tees, both short and longsleeve, are soft, just the right level of fitted, and thus far everything has lasted through many wears and washes.

    Feedback

    I wish I loved their leggings, but I prefer Lululemon or Alo. The OV fabric is a bit thick and the fit is never as flattering on me. However I could use a visit to the store to try on their latest styles.

  • The branding is fun but I just don't like the fit of any of their stuff, especially their leggings. It's really loose and stretches after a few wears.

  • Really love OV's mission and branding, but the product quality is just not there. My favorite fabric is definitely the CloudKnit, so lightweight and soft. But I find that out of all my athleisure OV is the quickest to get a hole or just stop fitting right.

    Feedback

    Improve product quality or lower prices

  • I can't help but love OV. The sports bras are amazing, tho if you are larger chested, might be better for low impact activities. Obsessed with their t-shirts (SO soft) and have to admit I have two exercise dresses.

    Feedback

    Some of my clothes fall apart with wear.

  • I love this brand. I live in Austin (where the brand was originated) and I see how the brand embodies the Austinian's appreciation for the great outdoors. I find it very stylist and aesthetically consistent. All of my active clothes are OV and I don't intend to go anywhere else!

    Feedback

    The prices are high and the supply chain feels a bit rigid. They sold out quite quickly and things never come back in favorite colors.

  • I love OV. I’ve been fascinated by the brand since about 2017 and haven’t looked back. I have more OV workout attire than any other brand. I like some styles more than others, and have my faves in multiple colors. I find myself wearing at least one piece of OV at some point every day. Their launches are exciting and I’ve loved attending their events as well. They kill it from a community standpoint. The brand itself tapped into such an important insight — exercise doesn’t have to be this insanely competitive thing. It can be a walk or a swim or anything. The freedom of that, and owning that space as a brand, is genius in my opinion.

    Feedback

    Their prices are pretty high and seem to be getting higher unfortunately. With change of CEO I’ve noticed a bit of a shift in the brand, but I think they’re figuring it out. Have hope for their future!

  • I have only purchased the masks, but i LOVE them and recommend them all the time. They're also great for kids

  • Love the bright fun colors of their clothes. That said, I wouldn't pay full price for their clothes, since the quality and sizing aren't really consistent. Call outs: Lime green socks are so comfy! I was surprised at how much I like them, fleece pullover is great for runs, and exercise dress is perfect for any summer activity

  • I really enjoy my OV exercise dress and cloud knit shirts, which are super comfortable. I received a pair of leggings from OV as a birthday gift however unfortunately I was only able to wear them once given how uncomfortable they were
