Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Varde 2.0 Fleece Vest is an ideal layering piece for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults who need reliable core warmth without restricting arm movement. Crafted from high-quality recycled Polartec Thermal Pro, this vest offers a soft, sweater-knit feel with excellent thermal properties; however, users should note that as a sleeveless garment, it is best utilized as part of a layering system in fluctuating temperatures rather than as a standalone shell in heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is the Varde 2.0 Fleece Vest waterproof?
No, it is not waterproof. It is designed for thermal insulation and breathability and should be layered under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
What does it mean that the product is bluesign certified?
This certification indicates that the product was manufactured with strict environmental and human safety standards, minimizing the impact on the planet and workers.
Can I dry this vest in a machine dryer?
Yes, it is machine washable; however, it is recommended to use low heat or hang dry to prolong the lifespan of the recycled fabric.
How does the fit compare to other Helly Hansen items?
This vest features a regular fit, which is generally true-to-size and provides enough room for layering without being baggy.
Does this vest have an internal pocket?
No, it features two external hand pockets with YKK zippers, but it does not include an internal pocket.
Is the fabric fireproof?
The vest features a heat-resistant chin guard for comfort, but the garment itself is not fireproof and should be kept away from open flames.
Troubleshooting
Fabric surface shows signs of pilling
Pilling is common in fleece; use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills and restore the smooth appearance.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Compatibility:
This vest is designed to be worn over a variety of garments, ranging from slim-fit t-shirts to thermal base layers. The regular fit ensures that it does not bunch up under bulkier outer layers, making it highly compatible with standard hard-shell jackets.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric:
- Close all zippers before placing in the washing machine.
- Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle in cool water.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical performance of the fleece fibers.
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent excessive pilling of the synthetic knit.
