The verdict
Fit
The CloudKnit 3.5" inseam is a snug active short. Outdoor Voices shorts tend to fit true; expect a higher leg opening suited to quick-dry fabrics. At this sale price, fit is a known quantity.
Quality
Outdoor Voices is mid-range athleisure. CloudKnit is likely a knit synthetic blend optimized for quick-dry and movement. At $15.97, you're buying brand recognition and clearance pricing, not durability longevity.
Is the price fair?
At $15.97 (down from typical $60+), this is a bargain for an Outdoor Voices short. Grab it; the value is obvious.
Best for
A buyer seeking an inexpensive, proven athleisure short for workouts, casual days, or as a backup pair.
Care
Machine wash in cold water; hang to dry to preserve elastic and seaming.
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.
