The verdict
Fit
Relaxed, comfortable sweatshort cut typical of casual kids' wear. Sizing appears to run true to labeled numbers.
Quality
Fleece construction should offer warmth and softness; seams are likely double-stitched for durability during active kids' wear.
Is the price fair?
78 dollars is mid-range for branded kids' sweatshorts; fairly priced for the material and Aviator Nation's brand positioning.
Best for
Young wearers needing comfortable, casual fleece sweatshorts for layering or casual loungewear.
Care
Machine wash warm and tumble dry on low to maintain fleece softness and prevent pilling.
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.
