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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Outdoor Voices has become a new go-to brand for me. I got these shorts for my daughter to use when running and exercising. They're comfortable and not flimsy. They allow for freedom of movement but still provide good coverage and modesty. Clearly a well-made product.

These are cute shorts but they feel very stiff. My daughter didn't care for them. I got the dark blue. I do like that it has pockets that can be zipped and even though the material feels stiff it seems like it could be great outdoor clothes for hiking.

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.
