Outdoor Voices Girls Rectrek Shorts are high quality shorts for young girls. These shorts are ideal for school, leisure, or outdoor fun. Material is made of stretchy blend material that feels as if it's stain resistant (time will tell). Zippered pockets are also a nice added feature.

This outdoor short fits my 8 year-old perfectly and is true to size. It looks very cute and the fabric feels high quality and durable. This short is well made, with front pockets that have convenient zippers. The elastic waistband is comfortable, sturdy and holds up well. Overall, a stylish and practical piece for everyday wear.

My daughter really likes these shorts. When I first touched them I thought they were rough and stiff. However, once they were tried on she loved them. One thing I really liked was the fact that it had zippers for the pockets so you can put things in them and not worry about losing them. They fit true to size which was 10-12 Large.

These kids' shorts are a mixed bag, with some solid wins and a few noticeable downsides. If sun protection and quick-dry performance are your top priorities, these shorts are worth considering. But if your child cares most about comfort and softness, you might want to explore other options or use these primarily for outdoor or water-related activities.

These shorts will be great for hiking and outdoor activites. My daughter loved the texture. They seem high quality and are made of Heavy duty material like Columbia or Patagonia. They do run a bit big. She regularly wears size 10, and these are 10/12 and quite big around the waist and legs. We could probably still get away with a 7/8 in the short term.

These shorts offer a great balance of style and quality, making them a solid choice for everyday wear. Right out of the package, the overall construction feels durable and well made, with clean stitching and attention to detail that gives confidence they’ll hold up over time. The design is modern and versatile, easy to dress up with a nicer top or keep casual with a T-shirt. They also have a flattering cut that doesn’t look sloppy or overly sporty, which is a big plus. One of the standout features is the length. They’re slightly longer than many standard shorts, which makes them more comfortable and practical for walking, sitting, or staying active without constantly adjusting them. This extra coverage adds to their wearability and makes them suitable for a wider range of settings, from casual outings to travel or errands. On the downside, the fabric isn’t as soft as expected. While it feels sturdy and contributes to the overall sense of quality, it does have a slightly rough texture against the skin, especially noticeable during longer wear or in warmer weather. It’s not uncomfortable, but it’s something to be aware of if you prefer very soft, lightweight materials. Overall, these shorts deliver good quality, appealing style, and a practical length. If the fabric were softer, they’d be nearly perfect, but they’re still a worthwhile purchase for their look and durability.

My daughter loves the fit of these shorts. She is very active and likes that they fit well and she can move in them. I like that they wash well and I can get stains out easily. My daughter is between size 8 and 10 so we got a 10 and it fits perfectly.

I was super exited for these shorts to arrive for my daughter. They are cute for casual shorts. The reason for the lower rating is the material is stiff and the texture is unique. The other reason is the sizing is extremely large. We got a size 10/12 and it fits me who typically wears sz 2 in women's.

These shorts are fantastic! They are the perfect combination of cute and functional, which can be hard to find. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, my daughter loves how comfortable they feel whether she's running around at the park, at practice, or just lounging at home. The fit is just right, providing great coverage without being too baggy. The elastic waistband is secure but doesn't dig, and I highly recommend them for any active girl!

These shorts have stretch in the waistband. The material is very rough and scratchy. I'm worried how much this will rub my daughters' legs in the summer time. They aren't clingy which is good, especially if they get wet. These may chaff in the heat though.
