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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • 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

  • The exercise dress is one of my most reliable pieces of clothing in the summer! The built in shorts ride up a little so I wouldn’t wear it for rigorous exercise, but it’s great for a walk or yoga. The fabric on the straps is separating which sucks because the dress is in otherwise good shape. I’m typically a 4/6, 27/28, and a size small fits perfectly.

  • Is there anything better than the exercise dress?! It’s a staple in my day to day life and on vacation.

  • I love the old compressive styles from Outdoor Voices! They also give an amazing discount to workout instructors. The newer styles are a bit too stretchy and soft and I wish they would go back to releasing new cuts and styles in the old fabrics.

  • I love their shorts - they hit at the perfect spot and fit so well, tops, exercise dress, and sports bras are great but their leggings aren't that stretchy so I stay away from those

  • I like the quality and versatility of this brand's offerings! Their mission and sustainable efforts are great, but I can't get behind the cost for some of the options.

  • Outdoor voices is great! The quality is very good as well and they have a lot of cute styles!
