Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Hooded Fleece Jacket is a high-performance mid-layer engineered for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and skiers who require reliable thermal regulation during active pursuits. Utilizing advanced grid fleece technology, it excels at moisture-wicking and heat retention while maintaining exceptional breathability, though its lightweight, performance-focused construction means it is less suited as a primary wind-blocking outer shell in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
No, the Versalite fleece is breathable rather than windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer underneath a wind-resistant shell.
Can I wear this while wearing a heavy backpack?
Yes. The jacket is specifically constructed with flat seams and a side-seam-free design to prevent chafing and discomfort while wearing a backpack.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed with a fitted construction to provide a secure, anatomical fit that stays in place during movement.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from an innovative grid fleece, chosen for its balance of warmth, breathability, and weight.
Does it have enough pockets for storage?
The jacket includes two hand pockets and one secure chest pocket with a YKK zipper for small items.
How should I clean the YKK zipper?
Keep the zipper free of grit and dirt by gently wiping it with a damp cloth if necessary. If it feels sticky, you can use a small amount of zipper lubricant.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or pilling on fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pilling; ensure you wash the jacket inside-out to prevent future friction damage.
Moisture-wicking efficiency seems to be decreasing
This often occurs due to detergent or softener residue; wash the jacket again with a technical fabric cleaner or a small amount of mild soap and skip the fabric softener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as a mid-layer underneath a windproof or waterproof shell for maximum protection.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking properties of the grid fleece.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain its shape, or keep it loosely folded in a dry, ventilated area to prevent odors.
