Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Versalite Hooded Jacket is a versatile mid-layer designed for active adults who engage in hiking, skiing, and high-output outdoor pursuits. Its primary benefit lies in the specialized grid fleece construction, which balances thermal insulation with excellent moisture management to keep you dry and comfortable. While it offers superior breathability and a low-profile fit, users should note that as a fleece garment, it is not windproof on its own and should be paired with a shell in harsh, windy conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and warm, not to serve as a rain barrier.

Can I wear this as my outer layer?

You can wear it as an outer layer in dry, calm conditions, but it will not protect you from strong winds or rain.

Does the hood fit under a ski helmet?

Yes, the hood features a snug, low-profile fit specifically designed to sit comfortably under most climbing or ski helmets.

What is the benefit of the grid pattern?

The grid pattern creates channels that improve airflow and heat regulation, making the fabric more breathable than solid, heavy fleece.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the material offers natural stretch, allowing for a full range of motion during athletic activities.

Troubleshooting

Moisture accumulation during activity

Ensure you are using a breathable, moisture-wicking base layer underneath and that your outer shell jacket is properly ventilated.

Garment losing shape or pilling

Always wash inside out and avoid washing with heavy garments that have zippers or velcro to prevent abrasion.

Pros and Cons

  • High breathability for high-intensity movement
  • Highly packable for layering
  • Comfortable, secure fit with thumb holes
  • Fast-drying properties

Cons

  • Not windproof

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This jacket is cut for an athletic, snug fit. It is designed to be worn over a technical base layer and under a waterproof or windproof shell jacket.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water to maintain the integrity of the grid fleece.

  • Do not bleach or iron.
