Shorts
The verdict
A fine cheap pick at $13.80 for a basic training short, but this price reads like a markdown, not the norm.
Fit
Vital is Gymshark's core basic line, so expect a relaxed, true-to-size mid-rise cut with soft-touch fabric rather than a compressive fit.
Quality
At this price point, construction is basic — simple seams and a wash-and-wear fabric typical of an entry-level line, not built for heavy daily rotation.
Is the price fair?
At $13.80 this sits in budget territory and is a fair deal if the price holds; at Gymshark's usual full price it would be closer to mid-tier.
Best for
Someone wanting a low-cost, casual training short to try the fit before committing to pricier lines.
Care
Machine wash cold and skip high heat to protect the soft-touch finish.
