Whether you’re hiking, trail running, mountaineering, or ski touring in the backcountry, the Helly Hansen Versalite Hybrid men's fleece jacket keeps your core warm and protected from cold winds during your ascents. Protective and warming properties include wind blocking panels on the front, a high collar, a chin guard, and thumb holes. This jacket also has two convenient zippered chest pockets that won’t interfere with backpack straps or waist belts. Wear this stretchy and quick-drying fleece as a stand-alone jacket during high pulse activities or under a shell jacket in changing weather conditions. This onion layering system is made of three types of clothing. The first layer, worn next-to-skin will provide warmth and quickly move moisture away from your skin. Then, the second layer, is the insulation or fleece, that provides warmth while also dissipating heat during periods of high output. And finally, the third layer, the shell, which is the most weather-protective layer, worn on the outside of all other layers.
