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.

  • I have found outdoor voices to be really hit or miss depending on what I have bought. Over the years, I have not found the brand reliable since they change the materials so often and feel like there has been a lot of experimentation. I do really like the look of the clothes, but I have found other brands to be way more reliable in terms of fit and quality.

  • Quality clothing in really stylish colours.

    More colours of the Doing things hat!

  • I'm a long time fan of OV. I love how bright and colorful it is but I think they need to extend their sizes.

    Feedback

    Offer XXL in all of your styles, especially the dresses.

  • I loved OV and own multiple exercise dresses as well as shorts and sports bras. My only qualm with them is their sizing in stores- I rarely find my size in store and have to order online.

    Feedback

    Extended sizing in stores (bigger than XL bc their XL isn't that large)

  • I love the brand and the clothes but I can't buy any because it doesn't fit me! I'm like one size below the smallest. Would definitely be a loyal customer if I could fit into it

    Feedback

    Smaller sizes :)

  • I have never ordered online because I went to the OV location in SF. I liked their clothes but there was not a lot of variety and was not very size inclusive.

    Feedback

    More size inclusive and a larger variety in products.

  • The best customer service and I love the variety. Some of the bras run a little high up towards the neck and the leggings tend to run looser at the ankles, but the coverage is great.

    Feedback

    Overall the leggings run large

  • So high quality and a great price point!! These sets hold up super well. I also loved the hokas they collaborated on

  • Good customer service - one of my (many) pairs of pants unraveled and they replaced

  • As many echoed, sizing runs smaller than expected - probably because the material is thicker and less stretchy than what we're used to. I love love love their designs, colour, and price-point though 🥺 Willing to give it a second chance.

    Feedback

    Canadian here, so $25 standard shipping hurts quite a bit, especially when exchanges/return are so hard to handle due to customs and border issues... so anything that can address that for your North American neighbours would be 💯

  • I love OV. Most of my closet is OV. They have nice basics and cute outfits. Recently launched really cute clothes. Pricey. But good. Better than lululemon.

  • Have two of their sets and think they are good but still prefer lululemon bikers to their material in the biker shorts. Good pricing and great branding drew me in initially to the brand. I would like to try them out again with the exercise dress.

    Feedback

    Making the material a bit softer, the elastic in a sports bra can get uncomfortable after all-day wear

  • I tried this brand wanting to expand from Lululemon. They are close in price but that is about it. The quality just didn’t feel the same. I returned right after trying them on.

  • The Sunday Shorts are my go-to shorts nearly every day of the week.

  • I like Outdoor Voices sportswear, but I would say that it's better as athleisure than for hard workouts compared to other workout brands. I have a couple of their sports bras and a pair of their leggings. Their TechSweat 7/8 Two-Tone Leggings and Venus crop top is great for low-impact workouts like yoga or pilates, and the All-Time bra is high-support and good for runs.

  • I have been wearing OV apparel since 2017, and I continue to return as a loyal customer. Yes, there have been some misses and some shifts in quality, but overall, I continue to find the brand high quality for the price with good sales and deals often available. Sizing is consistent, colorways are great, and the designs are versatile for a wide array of uses.

  • Not bad, but definitely not my favorite activewear. The material isn’t as soft or compressive/supportive as other brands.

  • Have been a big fan for years. Comfy cute functional versatile. Love the diversity and inclusivity.

  • Their cloudknit material is 10/10 - bought the shirts and pants in it and it’s all my wife and I want to wear at night. Washes well and keeps its shape and softness.
