The North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece - XS - Grey

The 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece is designed as an insulating mid-layer, providing warmth for outdoor activities or as a standalone casual jacket in mild conditions.

No, the fleece is moisture-repellent, meaning it can handle light dampness or dew, but it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, an outer waterproof shell is recommended.

Refer to The North Face's general sizing chart for women's apparel. The product description provides sizes from XS to XL. It is recommended to measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart.

This particular model is designed for women ('Womens' in the description). The North Face offers similar fleece styles in men's specific fits.

It means the product is designed with its end-of-life in mind, aiming to be recycled. This contributes to reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable approach to apparel.

The anti-pilling treatment enhances the fabric's resistance to forming small balls of fiber. While effective, longevity can depend on washing methods and friction experienced during use.

The pocket lining is also made from 100% recycled polyester, aligning with the overall sustainable design of the garment.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Check that the fleece is fully dry before wearing.

While treated for anti-pilling, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Try washing inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other garments or surfaces.

Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Verify that your outer jacket explicitly states compatibility with 'Zip-in' or 'Triclimate' systems. Not all jackets are designed for this integration.
