Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Hooded Fleece Jacket is a versatile mid-layer designed for active adults who prioritize temperature regulation and comfort during outdoor pursuits like hiking or skiing. Utilizing an innovative grid fleece pattern, it excels at trapping body heat while simultaneously wicking away moisture to keep you dry and comfortable. While it provides excellent breathability and a compressible build for easy packing, users should note that as a fleece layer, it is not windproof or waterproof on its own and is best utilized as part of a technical layering system.

FAQs
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, calm conditions, but keep in mind it offers no wind or water resistance.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed with a snug-fit, elasticized construction to keep it securely in place without the need for manual drawstrings.
What is the primary material?
The jacket is made from a performance-grade synthetic fleece designed for moisture management and warmth.
Does it have side pockets?
Yes, it includes hand pockets secured with high-quality YKK zippers.
Is it suitable for winter sports?
Absolutely. It is highly effective as a thermal mid-layer under a ski jacket.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Check for fabric caught in the YKK track. If clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth to improve movement.
Reduced moisture-wicking performance
This often occurs due to detergent or fabric softener residue. Run an extra rinse cycle or wash with a technical garment cleaner to clear the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the technical grid fleece, ensure you follow these guidelines:
- Layering Compatibility: This garment is designed as a mid-layer. It fits best over a thin base layer and under a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking performance.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The material is quick-drying by nature, so avoid high heat in a tumble dryer to prevent premature breakdown of the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Hang the jacket or store it loosely in your pack. Avoid compressing it under heavy items for long-term storage to maintain the loft of the grid pattern.
