Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable thermal regulation during outdoor activities like hiking or skiing. Its key strength is the specialized grid-patterned mesh fleece, which provides an excellent balance between warmth and moisture-wicking breathability. One caveat to note is that because it is a fleece garment, it offers minimal wind or rain protection on its own, making it best suited as a mid-layer or for mild-weather wear.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Versalite jacket is made of mesh fleece, which is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof outer layer.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
It is best used as a mid-layer over a base layer or as an outer layer in dry, mild weather.
Does it contain recycled materials?
Yes, the garment is made from 94% recycled polyester.
How should I wash it to maintain its quality?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry; avoid fabric softeners.
Does the jacket provide wind protection?
The mesh fleece is breathable, so it does not block wind effectively. Use an outer shell for windy conditions.
What is the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features a regular fit, providing enough room for comfortable layering without being excessively bulky.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or catching
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track; clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.
Fleece appears to be pilling
Pilling is common with high-performance synthetic fabrics; gently remove fuzz using a fabric shaver or dedicated sweater comb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no special setup. To maintain the structural integrity of the recycled fleece, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish the moisture-wicking properties. Always zip the jacket before washing to prevent the YKK zippers from catching on other clothing. For best results, hang dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area to preserve the elasticity of the fabric.
