My son loves these Rec Trek shorts by outdoor voices. The material is a thick active abrasion resistant but comfortable and breathable for your active child. The quality in material is better than most name brand active wear.

The shorts are waterproof, so it’s suitable for all sports including water sports. It’s super soft and has some thickness, so it’s not sheer. Has drawstring to tie for my boy on the slim side. Overall very comfortable and clean look.

Like the shorts can’t wait until summertime for my son to be able to wear them. He seems to be pretty excited about them. It is a little cold right now to try to wear them for long periods of time outside as the weather is cold.

These shorts were a miss for us. I'm not sure why they are so highly rated, but we live in FL so that could be the disconnect. We need soft LIGHT fabrics - this is a very heavy almost hard material. It doesn't match the cloud tee for kids. We're returning. These also run a little different size wise, whereas my son is a true 6/7 and the M shirt was good, these shorts would have been better in a S but we're returning.

Seems nicely made but they are a sort of parachute material that is stiff and makes a crinkly sound when you move. These are not a tech short/running short material. My son did not like how they felt - returning.
