The verdict
Fit
Youth sizing; neon pink and smiley design will appeal to younger wearers. Likely runs true to standard kids' sizing with a comfortable, relaxed fit.
Quality
Aviator Nation's kids' line uses similar fleece to the adult offering. Expect decent durability, though bright neon dyes may fade noticeably with repeated washing.
Is the price fair?
At 125 USD, reasonable for a branded kids' sweatpant—similar value-to-price ratio as adult basics, though the neon colorway adds a slight novelty premium.
Best for
Parents buying for younger children who like bright, playful branding and don't mind color fading over time.
Care
Wash in warm water with mild detergent; turn inside out to protect the smiley graphic and neon tone from fading.
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.
