The verdict
Fit
Aviator Nation's flex jogger cut runs relaxed through the hip and thigh; kids typically size true. Elastic cuffs provide adjustability for growth.
Quality
At this price, expect solid construction typical of Aviator Nation's kids line—no fraying, reinforced seams at high-stress points, and colorfast dye. Flex fabric resists pilling with normal wear.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier pricing for a kids' brand with real brand recognition and proven durability; $85 is fair for the build quality and lifespan.
Best for
Kids aged 6–14 who need shorts that survive active play and frequent washing without degradation.
Care
Machine wash cold, inside out if possible, to preserve the neon color; tumble dry low.
What owners report about Aviator Nation shorts
Third-party coverage of this line runs mostly through the brand's fleece pieces broadly, which its sweat shorts share. Reviews are polarized: owners praise how soft and comfortable the cotton-poly-rayon fleece feels and note the pieces are sewn in the USA, but a recurring complaint is that the fabric can feel thin for what the brand charges. Reviewers also flag defects, dye bleed and shrinkage in the wash, and a frustrating exchange policy when something goes wrong.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently report the fleece is exceptionally soft and comfortable from first wear, with the colors and retro stripes drawing compliments.
- Watch out for
- Recurring complaints are thin-feeling fabric relative to the high price, dye bleed and shrinkage in the wash, and a difficult exchange process.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by style — reviewers report pieces running both large and snug — and several choose to size up for a roomier fit.
