Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Fleece Jacket is a high-performance mid-layer designed for active women who enjoy skiing, hiking, and outdoor exploration. Its primary benefit lies in the specialized grid fleece construction, which balances thermal retention with effective moisture management to keep you comfortable during high-intensity activities. While it offers excellent warmth and packability, its snug-fit design may feel restrictive if you prefer layering thick items underneath.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
The Versalite Fleece is designed to be breathable, so it is not windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer underneath a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash in cold water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain the integrity of the fleece fibers.
Does it fit true to size?
The jacket has a 'snug-fit' design. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer thick clothing underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Is the jacket suitable for spring skiing?
Absolutely, it is an excellent layer for high-activity spring skiing because it provides warmth without bulk and dries quickly if you get warm.
What is the benefit of the grid fleece construction?
The grid pattern creates channels for air circulation, which helps regulate body temperature by releasing excess heat during movement.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks slightly pilled after frequent use
Use a specialized fabric shaver to gently remove surface pilling; this is normal wear for performance fleece and does not affect warmth.
Moisture is not wicking as effectively as before
Wash the jacket without fabric softener, as chemical buildup from detergents or softeners can block the breathability of the grid fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Versalite Fleece remains in top condition, wash it in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and diminish the moisture-wicking performance. Hang to dry whenever possible, as the material is inherently quick-drying. This jacket is highly compatible with most technical shell systems due to its low-profile fit. Always ensure the zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items.
