Product Information

Full details

This Helly Hansen Juniors' Versalite Jacket is designed for active kids who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and skiing, offering warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. While it excels as an outer layer in cool weather or a mid-layer in colder conditions, its primary limitation is its suitability mainly for active use rather than standalone protection against heavy rain or strong winds.

FAQs

What is grid fleece and why is it used?

Grid fleece is a type of fleece fabric with an innovative grid-like pattern on the inside. This structure creates small air pockets that trap body heat for insulation, while the channels between the grids allow moisture vapor to escape, enhancing breathability and wicking.

Can this jacket be worn in the rain?

The Versalite Jacket is made from fleece, which is not a waterproof material. It offers some resistance to light moisture but is best worn as an insulating layer under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions or as an outer layer in dry, cool weather.

What is the best way to layer this jacket?

For cool, dry weather, it can be worn as an outer layer. For colder or wet conditions, it serves as an excellent mid-layer, providing warmth over a base layer and under a waterproof and windproof jacket.

How should I size this jacket for my child?

The jacket is available in specific children's UK sizes. Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer, considering your child's measurements for chest and arm length to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter days?

On its own, it's best suited for cool conditions or as part of a layering system. For very cold winter days, it should be worn as a mid-layer in conjunction with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.

What activities is this jacket ideal for?

It is ideal for hiking, skiing, playing outdoors, and general active use in cool to moderate temperatures. Its design prioritizes warmth, breathability, and freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating and wicking properties. Tumble dry on low heat if possible, as this can help to restore loft to the fleece.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket seems to be retaining moisture.

Check that the garment is not inside out when washing and that no fabric softener was used. Ensure the washing machine's spin cycle is adequate to remove excess water. Air drying completely is essential.
