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.

  • Really enjoy the brand and their mission, however I do wish that they had a more inclusive sizing.

  • My favorite product is the exercise dress; it fits like a glove and is perfect for walking and errands (I’ve even worn it to work!). I love the built in shorts and pockets underneath and love how it matches with athletic wear and also more casual outfits!

  • Love my outdoor voices athletic dress. SO easy to dress up or down and can wear it for so much! One of the most versatile pieces in my closet

    Feedback

    For the athletic dress I did order in my normal size but found that the top was a little larger than I had hoped. Tightening the straps definitely helps but would not use for more high intensity things.

  • I only wear like 3 brands and OV has been one of them for years! Before we had a shop in ATL, I was an online shopper who rarely had anything to return because their sizing is accurate, their materials are great, and their assortment changes often. RecTrek is my favorite material and I've got everything from basic shorts and pants, to overalls and zip-off cargos. My go to for sure!!! Yes, they're a tad pricey but I am currently wearing some RecTrek shorts I bought 2.5 years ago and they still look like the day I got them. Fan for LIFE! I've also interacted with their CX team a couple of times and they're always so helpful! One time they replaced a pair of rainbow shoelaces that accidentally got tossed that came with a special edition pair of HOKAs. I wasn't expecting that but they made it happen!

    Cute athletic wear that has lasted the test of time. Also love that they offer a fixed 20% discount to students.

  • Fabrics are insanely soft and remain that way over time, never any pilling. The fit is also perfect feels super comfortable and easy to move around in whether working out vigorously or taking a walk to grab a coffee.

    Feedback

    I will say the designs are lacking for me. While they are sleek and usually good basics, they feel less diverse, unique, and exciting than I would prefer.

  • Outdoor Voices has very trendy, cute pieces for the outdoorist who also likes to look good. The pieces I have from them - including the iconic exercise dress - have held up great after multiple wears and I’m excited to try future products. One drawback is the high price and expensive ($20!) shipping to Canada.

    Feedback

    Free shipping to Canada would be great as we don’t have a physical store to try clothes on and I made the mistake of ordering some pieces in the incorrect size!

  • Long-time fan of the brand! I've always been happy with my purchases, although quality has slightly decreased over time.

  • What I love most about Outdoor Voices is that their clothes do exactly what they're supposed to while still being colorful and fun to wear. It's always fun looking at their new colorways and patterns when shopping. Their customer service is great, if you ever have any issues they will help you out right away and they're always super friendly.

    Feedback

    Their sizing tends to change somewhat frequently and I feel that their quality has decreased over the years. I have pieces from years ago that are still in excellent condition and pieces I got last year that look way more worn than they should.

  • I got their original workout dress and am still obsessed. They made some improvements since then (adjustable straps being the main one for me). I love their mix between comfy/outdoorsy and daily athleisure. I feel like I can make my dress work for whatever casual event I'm attending.

    Feedback

    The only improvements I can think of would be a built in shelf bra and silicone lining in the shorts to prevent them riding up. If those two features were added, I don't know if I'd wear much else.

  • I really wanted to like this brand because of the fun sense of community the brand portrays and the colorful clothing. My OV clothing is so cute however, the quality confuses me a little bit. I recently ordered multiple pairs of leggings that are super stiff and already starting to pill. The straps on my exercise dress have completely fallen apart.

    Feedback

    I get MAJOR camel toe from the leggings and constantly have to pull them up while working out, which is weird because they are so hard to put on in the first place.

  • Used to love them (obsessed at one point), but I noticed their quality has gone down over the past few years... the material feels a bit cheaper now and my body hasn't changed (my old clothes from a few years ago still fit), but the small size feels less well fitted now.

    Feedback

    Material + fit

  • The products are high quality, but I did have an issue with the leggings slipping down during my workout

  • I absolutely love Outdoor Voices. Their colors and fit of their products are amazing. It just makes me feel good when I wear it!

    Feedback

    A bit expensive for my taste but the products I’ve invested in have been worth the money!

  • I have many OV products, ranging from their cloudknit, to running shorts/leggings, to the iconic exercise dress. As someone who works out 5-6 times/week, I feel these products are much better for leisure or light activity rather than rigorous workouts. I have a couple pairs of OV running shorts and the fit always feels just off, I generally will choose other brands from my drawer over my OV pairs. That being said, OV's cloudknit shirt and joggers are hands down my favorite and most-worn loungewear.

    Feedback

    Fit of running shorts could be improved for the price.

  • I own the exercise dress and I absolutely love it! It is so comfy and can be worn for so many different occasions. I really want to get it in more colors now :)

    Feedback

    I wish there was some padding for the chest area or if there was a thicker lining there

  • The rectek pants from Outdoor Voices are part of my regular rotation. From travel to hiking, they are incredibly comfortable and have held up very well!

  • I’ve had a great experience with Outdoor voices. Their sports bras, t shirts, socks, and crew neck sweatshirts are my favorite.

    Feedback

    Leggings could use a little work. I am short so that are often very long for me. I would love some petite sizing.

  • I have a single t-shirt from there and I really enjoy it.

    Feedback

    Everything fits really small and the clothes are not made for people with curves.
