The verdict
Fit
7-inch inseam lands mid-thigh on most men; appears to be a regular fit. Order true to size unless reviews suggest otherwise.
Quality
CloudKnit is an Outdoor Voices signature blend. At this price, expect smoother hand feel and durability comparable to mid-tier athletic wear.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier pricing justified if CloudKnit genuinely improves comfort and longevity over basic nylon; otherwise a luxury markup.
Best for
Men who want a comfortable all-day short for casual wear and light activity.
Care
Wash in cold water; CloudKnit blends typically dry quickly, so standard air drying works well.
What owners report about Outdoor Voices shorts
Reviewers of the RecTrek shorts describe a very stretchy, durable fabric with deep trouser-style hand pockets that hold a phone securely, and note the colorblock seams have held up well in use. The main criticism is that the fabric sits at the heavy, thick end for shorts, making them better suited to cooler days than dedicated summer use. Broader owner feedback describes the brand's clothing as well-made with good freedom of movement, though the pricing draws comment.

- Watch out for
