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.
