Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Hooded Jacket is a technical fleece engineered for adult outdoor enthusiasts who require a balance of warmth and moisture management. Its specialized grid-pattern fabric effectively traps heat while promoting airflow, making it an excellent choice for active endeavors like hiking and skiing. While it offers superior breathability and packability, users should note that as a fleece garment, it is not designed to provide water or windproof protection on its own during severe weather conditions.

FAQs
Is the Versalite Hooded Jacket waterproof?
No, it is made of fleece and is designed for warmth and breathability rather than water protection.
Can this be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, it is suitable for dry, chilly conditions, but it will not provide protection against wind or rain.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent and hang to dry for best results.
What is the primary benefit of the grid pattern?
The grid pattern helps trap heat while creating channels for moisture to wick away, improving temperature regulation.
Are the thumb holes adjustable?
No, they are integrated into the cuffs for a consistent, secure fit.
Is this jacket suitable for summer use?
It is best for cooler weather; however, it can be useful in the mountains where temperatures drop, thanks to its high breathability.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have slight snagging or pilling.
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or hook-and-loop fasteners to maintain the smoothness of the fleece grid.
Jacket feels damp after a long hike.
This is likely moisture trapped from sweat; shake the garment and hang in a ventilated area to allow the quick-drying material to wick the remaining moisture away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as a versatile layering piece. It fits comfortably under most standard waterproof shells, parkas, or vests without restricting movement. To maintain the integrity of the grid-fleece material:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve fabric structure; if using a machine, select a low-heat, delicate cycle.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the garment tightly for extended periods to ensure the fabric loft remains consistent.
