Velilla 103032S stretch trekking Bermuda shorts: the lightest in the range
At 180 g/m², these are the lightest work Bermuda shorts in the entire catalogue: less than half the fabric of the 103017S denim ones. The fabric is 86% polyester and 14% elastane, a trekking-type composition — very stretchy and quick-drying — with a slim fit cut and reverse zippers on the pockets.

Do not iron.
💡 Tip: This is a technical fabric, not a construction-site one. At 180 g/m² and with a slim fit cut, it won't withstand being dragged over rubble or rubbing against scaffolding: it snags and tears where a 200 g/m² twill would only fray. These are the shorts for moving a lot and sweating little, not for abrasive jobs. For that, there are the 103007 with rear reinforcement or the 380 g/m² 103017S denim ones.
