Helly Hansen Versalite Mens 1/2 Zip Fleece 2027

The Piece

The Versalite is a grid fleece half-zip built to sit under a shell or stand on its own on a mild day. The grid pattern inside the fabric traps warm air where you need it and lets moisture move out, so you're not clammy after a hike up or a hard lap on the hill. It's got some stretch to it too, which matters when you're reaching for a pole plant or bending down to buckle boots.

What We Like

We like that it doesn't try to be everything. It's warm without being bulky, so it layers clean under a shell jacket without making your arms feel stuffed. The stretch in the fabric is real - you notice it when you're skinning up or just moving around at work. And the quick-dry factor means you can wear it two or three days in a row on a trip without it turning into a swamp.

Fit & Sizing

This runs true to a standard athletic fit - not baggy, not skin-tight. If you like room to layer a baselayer underneath, go with your usual size

Why Willis

We've been fitting Pittsburgh skiers and riders in the right layers since 1970, and a midlayer is one of those pieces people get wrong more than you'd think - too heavy, too light, wrong fit under a shell. Stop into any of our three locations and we'll help you sort out the right layering system for how you really ski.
