FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the 100 Glacier Fleece?

Its primary purpose is to provide mild warmth and breathability, making it ideal as a standalone jacket in cool weather or as a mid-layer for added insulation in colder conditions.

Can this fleece be worn on its own in cold weather?

It offers mild warmth and is best suited for cool temperatures. For colder weather, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially under a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

How do I know if another jacket is compatible for zip-in functionality?

Look for The North Face jackets specifically labeled as 'Triclimate' or those that mention zip-in compatibility with fleece layers. The fleece has specific connection points at the collar, cuffs, and hem to integrate with compatible outer shells.

Is this fleece waterproof or windproof?

No, the fleece itself is neither waterproof nor windproof. It is designed to be breathable and warm, and should be paired with a waterproof and windproof outer shell for protection against the elements.

What material is the fleece made of?

The fleece is made from 100% Polyester microfleece.

How should I clean my fleece to keep it in good condition?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and do not iron or dry clean.

What are the dimensions of the hand pockets?

The product description does not specify the exact dimensions of the hand pockets, but they are designed to securely hold essentials like a phone or keys.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Check care label for proper washing instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating loft. Ensure it was dried on low heat and not exposed to high temperatures.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Some pilling is normal with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize, follow care instructions closely, wash inside out, and avoid abrasive contact.
