Full details

The North Face Glacier Heavyweight Full Zip Jacket is a premium fleece designed for adult women who need a versatile, insulating layer for everyday outdoor activities or casual wear. Its core strength lies in its heavyweight fleece construction and Triclimate compatibility, offering reliable warmth and layering options for fluctuating weather conditions; however, potential users should note that as a fleece garment, it is not inherently waterproof and may require a shell in heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.

Can I attach this to any North Face jacket?

It is specifically designed for compatibility with the North Face Triclimate layer system. Always verify your outer shell supports the zip-in integration.

How should I wash this garment?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric quality.

What is a zip garage?

A zip garage is a small pocket of fabric at the top of the zipper that covers the pull, preventing it from rubbing against your neck or chin.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The garment features mechanical stretch binding at the cuffs, collar, and hem, which provides added durability and a flexible fit.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper teeth and gently clean the track with a soft brush to remove dust or lint.

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to safely remove surface pilling that may occur over time with regular friction.

Triclimate layer not aligning

Double-check that both the shell and the fleece are from the official The North Face Triclimate compatible line, as zippers may not match across different series.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention due to heavyweight fleece material
  • Versatile layering capabilities with Triclimate compatibility
  • Secure storage with zippered pockets
  • Enhanced durability and fit via stretch-bound cuffs and hem
  • Comfort-focused design with an integrated zip garage

Cons

  • Provides no inherent waterproof protection against heavy rain
  • Fleece material can be susceptible to wind penetration
  • Limited to specific North Face layering systems for full compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To utilize the Triclimate feature, align the jacket's centre front zipper with the corresponding internal zipper of your outer shell layer. Ensure the garment is fully zipped up before connecting the two pieces.

For care, machine wash the fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle. To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric and the stretch binding, it is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impact the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic material.
