Hudson 2.5" Short
The verdict
Fit
The Hudson 2.5" inseam on a sweat fabric sits shorter and relaxed. Outdoor Voices cuts are consistent; expect a soft, forgiving waistband and a straight, easy leg. Sizing runs true.
Quality
Sweat shorts from Outdoor Voices are casual basics. Construction is standard: flat-lock seaming, elastic waistband, and lightweight knit blends. Expect them to soften and relax with wear.
Price check
At $88, the price is reasonable for a branded casual short, though not a bargain. Fair if you like the brand's aesthetic.
Best for
A wearer seeking a comfortable, low-stakes short for home lounging, errands, or light activity.
Care
Machine wash warm; tumble dry low to preserve elastic.

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.
