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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I used to be super obsessed with OV. I’ve since chilled out a little and realized that they do certain things very well and I’d love and repurchase but others are just OK. I love my exercise dresses (have them in 2 colors) they’re good quality and are really cute! They do ride up a little though. My holy grail from here are the rectrek pants. I have them in 3 colors and I use them everywhere: rock climbing, work, everyday wear. They have zippered pockets which are great and are unbelievably stretchy and comfortable while not looking tooooo much like sports pants. The leggings are solid and have lasted me a while but I have preferences for other stores for leggings.
Love almost everything from OV. Quality bd fit are consistent and great. Love that they have all sorts of styles for different activities. Workout dresses are amazing and most have built in shorts.
I have many things from outdoor voices and love this brand. the quality is high and they have amazing customer service. it washes and dries really well and fits great! Runs true to size
I have the move free tank top and the all-time bra. I do like both of the pieces. I wish the sports bra fit better, as I had to size up for my rib cage and it led to gaping by the armpit area. I also tried on the exercise dress and was somewhat disappointed with the quality. The fabric felt thin and less compressive than I expected. I also overheard people discussing how the straps had stretched out and there wasn't much that could be done to fix them.
Original OV used to be that girl. And now…it’s very fast fashion in its trend cycles. The sizing in terms of diversity is not good. It could be so much better.
Feedback
There are more sustainable and size inclusive brand out there that are doing what OV is trying to do.
Love love love my rec-tek zip-off pants. So great in the spring when you start the hike cold and get warm by the end. Super stylish as well.

Check out their workout stuff as well as their everyday active wear.

LOVE LOVE THIS BRAND.
I like their apparel look and feel but I don't feel like they are great for high-intensity workouts. The quality has lasted well for me but maybe because I don't reach from them in my drawer very often.

Huge let down...Heard of this brand a lot. Heard a ton from the founder about how she took the time to find the right fabrics, cut them in the right way to make it super comfortable. NOPE! Feels like a fabletics brand. the waistband is constantly riding down and creates a gap between the leggings and the thigh (chafe central)
I really like outdoor voices. Their stores are so inviting and nice, but prices are definitley a bit high. I purchased a workout dress from them in white, and loved it upon first try. Then I wore it in day light and it was so see through I was showing off a bit too much... The black one I wear a ton, but it shows every DROP of sweat, so I have to choose wisely the days I wear it on.
Feedback
Thicker/not as sheer fabric. Sweat proof/wicking fabric. Wish there was a length option for the workout dresses since I am tall and they are pretty short on me. They definitely run big so size up
I wish they had a better men's section.... The fit is a bit clunky
I learned about Outdoor Voices through my sister. She had ordered and was constantly wearing the Rectrek pant. I was going on a trip for hiking and could not find pants that fit appropriately. I am more pear shaped and the majority of hiking pants I tried on at REI just didn’t work. I quickly ordered the original Rectrek pant and the zip off version. They fit great and I now wear the Pants all the time. I have since ordered other products like shorts, leggings, and the exercise dress and have found them all to be high quality.
Feedback
My only issue has been with some of the sizing of the leggings. The size that fits my hips the best usually sags in the waist. I also wasn’t sure size wise which pants would fit best and ordered multiple pairs because Outdoor Voices has a really easy return policy.
My OV stuff I love—I really love. My OV stuff I don't—I really don't. For some reason, the tops always work out (great fit, colors, materials), but the bottoms never do (lose elasticity easily, deteriorate in quality quickly—with the exception of the RecTrek shorts those are great). I'll keep repurchasing sports bras and tanks but going to keep passing on the pants/shorts.
Feedback
Pls make your bottoms quality more durable
cute stuff but sizing can be off
Feedback
Some of their items run really big and most of the fabrics are nice, but some are not my fave
Love the fun colors and styles! I have a few pairs of the freeform bike short and adore them! I also have the leggings, but don't love those as much as they ride down on walks/runs.

Just got their ribbed leggings and they are such good quality and feel so great.

The cloud knit fabric is always my go to for loungewear and even for travel. They have a wide variety of men's shorts for whatever type of activity you're getting into. Excellent fit across the board and always a great gift idea for anyone in your family. I recently saw that they're finally opening a store in Atlanta and I could not be more excited!
I love their overall vibe and the aesthetic of their products and in their stores. I own the Hudson shorts in pink, which I LOVE and have worn for many years), as well as the Exercise dress (note: received this for free at an event). I appreciate how they've rallied the community with #DoingThings and celebrating all forms of movement. I went to one of their pop-up events in NYC, which included a live workout and dance party in the middle of Lincoln center and was a ton of fun.
Feedback
I'd recommend trying for fit before committing. I don't love the Exercise dress as there is zero support in the chest but does not offer enough room to allow for a sports bra comfortably. I've tried on the leggings as well, but the material didn't adhere well to my body and felt ill fitting in some areas.
The brand has improved and I like some of their styles and materials. At the beginning their materials were really thick and not breathable. They have more of a variety now but not my favorite workout brand. A good comparison would be Vuori but Vuori tends to be a little more comfortable.

I have the exercise dress and a couple of leggings from here. The dress is okay but the leggings are terrible quality and feel rough on.
