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 remember when Outdoor Voices used to be one of the highest quality activewear brands but since they got really popular the quality has gone way done. I wouldn't buy from them again which is unfortunate because I used to be a fan.

  • Find casual cooler activewear great at leisure and a wide variety of styles and prints and you’ll find one that you like. It was really comfy. Fits well last long impressed with the quality makes a gift as well.

  • this brand of workout sets and clothes are super cute and trendy and my wife absolutely loves them. They are super comfortable on her and we wash them and she uses them multiple times throughout the week and they have held up.

  • They used to be good when they first came out, but somehow it declined as more brands came. I still like their sales and cute styles. I still wear their dress out on walks and love it. Hopefully I will get to see what uniqueness this brand gives in the future!

  • this brand is actually so underrated!!! the quality is so good and the prices are somewhat affordable. they have really cute designs for all ages (i got my dad a hat and he loved it) so definitely check this brand out

  • I love my pullover form Outdoor Voices. It has the perfect vibe between athletic and cute. It’s also a great temperature material - I can wear it when it’s cool or warm cause it doesn’t make me too hot.

  • Gift for my cousin, looked nice

  • Love their sweatshirts but find the active wear fabrics to shift a lot on the body when i wear them. Fabrics feel high quality but I have had a couple exercise dresses fall apart on me. Customer service was very helpful in replacing it thought!

  • I really like the design options that Outdoor Voices offers. I wish the store in DC was still open though. I really love my crop tee and leggings.

  • The fit of their clothing is hit or miss and I only enjoy the cloud knit fabric. Some of the legging material accentuates cellulite, so i've returned more than i've kept from this company.

  • I used to really love OV - they seemed to be one of the few reasonably priced athleisure brands that actually fit most bodies (and seemingly promoted inclusivity). But I think they may be downsizing or going out of business? I'm not sure that I've seen any new good clothing come from them recently.

  • (before this bankruptcy news) i went to their physical store and loved everything about it: felt like i was shopping a friend's closet with the said friend chatting and guiding me on what to buy. i ended up going for a couple leggings and a longline bra that i wear religiously as a bra and a top. i'm on the shorter side and the bra is the perfect length to hold me together but to also stretch past my stomach. the leggings are also super comfortable, they are compression but are soft instead of that typical compressive (ironic) feel.

  • I like the quality, I do feel like for a curvy girl it can sometimes feel restrictive but otherwise I love the company itself and the feel of the clothes. I feel like it is similar to lululemon but quality does seem a bit better at times. LOVE their socks, their socks are somewhat padded.

  • Quality products that hold up well during sweaty workouts and are comfy for everyday wear.

  • love these clothes! a bit expensive but great quality and lasts a long time. good color choices too

  • Exceptional product with competitive prices for the upmarket athletic wear sector. Bottoms don’t stretch out and aren’t see through like many other brands. Love the cut of their light shorts as well. So comfortable!

  • I have their atheltic dress - so comfortable, even to wear when swimming. Wicks away moisture.

  • I wanted to try this brand to see if there was smoothing different than the more well known athleisure fits. I have thicker legs and wearing the leggings, shorts, dresses and even skirts was a mission in finding the right size. I either have to sacrifice compression or comfort. I ended up sizing up in everything to best fit my legs, but then the waist bands would be too big. Even for dresses, I have more mass in my lower half, so I have to size up, but then the top is very loose. I feel like these might best be for those who are more symmetrical or not as curvy. I will also say that their hats are my favorites to wear, but if its a sized product, it's not my favorite.
