When the Outdoor Voices hype first started a few years ago, the brand’s uniquely soft and stretchy CloudKnit sweats were among its most coveted offerings. We continue to think the hype is real and have even named the CloudKnit pants and long-sleeve as our best overall loungewear set for women. Should you want to try these sweats for yourself (or invest in a backup pair), almost every CloudKnit product is 30 percent off at Outdoor Voices right now, meaning our favorite sweatpants are priced at $61, down from $88. And all colorways are discounted, including red, gray, black, and blue.
CloudKnit pants have a worn-in feel but are plenty durable (my fellow Strategist writer Ambar Pardilla has been wearing hers for more than a year and says they look the same as they did the day they arrived in the mail). To me, there’s nothing worse than sweats that are soft when you buy them but immediately become crunchy and stiff after a few cycles through the washing machine; that’s not a problem with CloudKnit fabric. These pants are also just comfortable: loose in fit while looking elevated. I don’t usually like to wear athleisure clothing in public, but I would make an exception for these. Great Jones founder (and former Grub Street senior editor) Sierra Tishgart agrees, telling us that she likes them for late nights at the office as well as long travel days and that she “doesn’t feel like a sloppy mess at the airport when I arrive in them.”
The Strategist is designed to surface useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Every product is independently selected by our team of editors, whom you can read about here. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
