The verdict
Fit
Relaxed kids' fit with text branding. Neon purple is vivid; true to typical kids' sizing.
Quality
Basic kids' construction—adequate for casual wear and play, though seams and fabric will show wear after a season or two.
Is the price fair?
At $78, standard kids' branded-shorts pricing. The text branding is straightforward; neon purple is the design limitation.
Best for
Kids who enjoy bright colors and parents seeking simple, recognizable loungewear for temporary seasonal wear.
Care
Cold gentle wash and low heat to preserve the neon dye.
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.
