Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Versalite Half Zip is a versatile mid-layer designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable thermal regulation during skiing, hiking, or casual daily wear. Featuring a moisture-wicking grid fleece, it offers an excellent balance of warmth, breathability, and quick-drying performance in a regular, comfortable fit. While it is an exceptional technical piece, its lightweight construction means it is best used as part of a layering system rather than as a heavy-duty standalone outer shell in extreme weather.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and thermal warmth. It should be worn under a waterproof shell during rainy or snowy conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it is a mid-layer, the soft material allows it to be worn over a thin base layer or directly against the skin depending on your preference for comfort.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a mild detergent and washing with similar colors.
Does the fit run true to size?
The Versalite features a regular fit, which generally aligns with standard sizing, allowing space for movement and layering.
What is the primary purpose of the grid pattern?
The grid pattern creates small air channels that improve breathability and heat retention simultaneously, allowing moisture to escape while trapping heat.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Check the track for fabric snags; if the track is clear, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant.
Fabric appearing to 'pill' or fuzz
This is normal for fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove excess fibers and restore the garment's appearance.
