Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Fleece Jacket is an ideal technical mid-layer for active women who enjoy skiing, hiking, and outdoor exploration. Its primary benefit is a highly efficient grid-fleece construction that balances thermal retention with moisture-wicking properties, ensuring you stay dry and warm during intense activities. While it offers excellent performance, users should note that as a dedicated technical mid-layer, its snug-fit design may feel restrictive if layered over excessively bulky base garments.

Is this jacket windproof?
No, it is a fleece jacket designed for breathability. It is best used as a mid-layer beneath a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?

Does the sizing run small?
The jacket has a snug-fit design. If you prefer a looser feel for casual wear, you might consider sizing up.

What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured in a way that minimizes environmental impact and ensures the safety of workers and the final consumer.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed to be secure and low-profile, making them suitable for keys, a wallet, or a standard-sized smartphone.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track. If the zipper is clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a pencil graphite lead along the teeth to improve movement.
Fleece feels less warm after multiple washes
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during laundry, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the grid structure's heat-trapping ability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Helly Hansen Versalite, ensure the jacket is worn as a mid-layer over a moisture-wicking base layer. The snug fit is intentional, designed to keep the grid fleece close to the skin for optimal heat regulation.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water.
- Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece.
- Hang to dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Close all YKK zippers before washing to protect the teeth and surrounding fabric.
