The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The shorts weigh only about a third of a pound, so they're genuinely light for active use in warm weather.
- You get actual zippered pockets rather than just open ones, which matters if you're running or doing anything where things might fall out.
- The 5-inch inseam is on the shorter side, so these sit well above the knee rather than hitting mid-thigh like some gym shorts do.
As of Aug 16, the VPOS Gym Shorts for Men 5 Inch is a good price at $9.99 — versus a $9.50 typical price and a $7.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “63% off,” measured against a $27 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $10 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $27 “list price” untouched for 16 months — while the item actually sold for about $10. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
