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

Machine wash at 30°. With 14% elastane, hot water is its worst enemy.
No fabric softener: it reduces the quick-drying ability of the polyester.
Air dry: it's dry in an hour.
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 dragging 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 work. For that, go for the 103007 with rear reinforcement or the 380 g/m² 103017S denim shorts.
