Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Jacket is a versatile, high-performance fleece designed for adult women who engage in active outdoor pursuits such as skiing and hiking. Its primary strength lies in its unique grid fleece fabric, which effectively balances thermal regulation with moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you comfortable during high-intensity activities. While it offers excellent packability and essential features like YKK-zipped pockets, users should note that the snug fit may feel restrictive if you prefer layering thick base garments underneath.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Versalite is a fleece jacket intended for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof shell.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The design features two external hand pockets with YKK zippers but does not include internal storage.
Can I machine wash this garment?
Yes, machine wash in cold water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to protect the technical fabric.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a snug, performance-oriented fit. If you prefer a loose feel or plan on wearing thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.
Does the grid fleece keep you warm in sub-zero temps?
It serves as an excellent mid-layer, but for sub-zero temperatures, it should be paired with a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Check for loose threads or debris caught in the YKK track. Use a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.
Moisture is not wicking as expected.
Residual fabric softener or oils from detergents may have clogged the fibers. Re-wash using a technical fabric cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow standard technical apparel care. Wash in cold water using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the moisture-wicking performance of the fleece. For the best longevity, air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. Due to its snug fit, this jacket is best compatible with lightweight, technical base layers. When zipping up, ensure the chin guard is properly positioned to prevent the zipper from snagging on delicate skin or under-layers.
