The verdict
Fit
7-inch inseam, designed for active wear. Pockets add bulk—expect a relaxed fit. True to size.
Quality
Pocket construction on athletic shorts demands good stitching; typical of Outdoor Voices' durable mid-range line.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for shorts that include well-executed pockets, a functional detail often cut at this price point.
Best for
Active men who need secure pocket space for keys, phone, or other essentials during outdoor activities.
Care
Pocket seams benefit from careful washing; cold water and hang drying extend pocket durability.
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.
