The verdict
Fit
Kids' sweatpants scaled to the Aviator Nation aesthetic with a comfortable mid-rise and straight leg. True to brand sizing for young wearers.
Quality
Built with the same durability standards as the adult line: quality fleece, reinforced seams, and graphics applied for longevity through multiple washes.
Is the price fair?
At $125 USD, pricing is high-mid for kids' sweatpants and driven by the brand name and cheerful graphic rather than fabric performance.
Best for
Young wearers and parents who value the Aviator Nation brand and want playful, recognizable graphics.
Care
Machine wash inside-out to protect the graphic, use cold water, and tumble dry low.
What owners report about Aviator Nation sweatpants
Owner reviews are polarized. The consistent praise is comfort: reviewers describe the sweatpants as exceptionally soft and cozy, and some long-time owners say their pairs still hold up after years of wear and washing. The recurring complaints are quality control at the price — dye bleeding onto other laundry, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, and sweats that feel thinner than expected for pants running upwards of $160. Hand-made-in-California production is the justification owners most often cite for the price, while critics conclude they are paying mostly for the look and the label.
- Strengths
- Genuinely soft, cozy fleece and distinctive retro styling, with some long-term owners reporting pairs that survive years of regular wear and washing.
- Watch out for
- Dye bleed and shrinkage in the wash, fabric that stains easily, and thinner-than-expected material are the recurring complaints, made worse by the high price.
- Sizing
- Fit reports vary by style — some pairs are described as running large and others snug — so owners advise checking each style's cut and reviews rather than assuming one consistent size.
