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.

These are better than expected! I got them for my daughter to wear camping/hiking. The material seems like water would roll off. They are not very thick but not see through at all and seem like they will stand up well to outdoor wear. The zipper pockets are nice and deep. I like the loose fit in the legs. I do think they run a little on the large side.

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.

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.

Want to start off, shorts are true to size. Don’t size down, that for sure. There is a bit of stretch but not like normal athletic attire. This are very breathable, my daughter is very much enjoying them inside the house and outside while being very active as a kid is. We love the well made zippers and style. Stated its shape after first wash and hang dry.

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.

My daughter loves these! They are super soft and she loves how the material is stretchy. She is a size 10 and these fit perfect. The cute zipper pockets are a plus and hold her phone perfectly when at the theme parks. They dry super fast when going on those water rides and loves to tell me that my pants don’t dry as fast as hers.

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 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 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.
