I was having doubts about these shorts when I first saw them because of the texture but I was wrong. My daughter loves them. She loves that she can stretch in them without a problem. She says they are very comfortable (didn't want to wear them at first😂) and now she wants to wear them all the time. The zipper pockets are amazing! She can keep stuff in the pockets without having to worry she will lose her things.

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 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.

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.

These girls shorts are absolutely fantastic. They are lightweight and not too bulky. They are great for hiking outdoor activities as well as school. They are made extremely well and also feature a functional drawstring if you wanted to size up and zippered pockets I Would definitely recommend these shorts

My daughter loved these shorts. I was very shocked about how thick and durable the material was. These are awesome for heavy duty playtime outside or would look great going out to a nice dinner during the summer. She liked the pockets the buttons the zipper was very top quality craft-man ship even down to the stitching. These shorts are great. What she liked most was the pink tips on the zipper pockets. The drawstring is great quality. There's nothing worse than getting a pair of shorts and having the drawstring be all wound up after a few washes.I would highly recommend.

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.

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.

These shorts aren't what we thought they would be. The material was very rough. Almost stiff and not comfortable. My daughter does not want to wear them. The waistband is also very big and bulky. Will leave the imprints on skin if too snug. I would not recommend.

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.
