FAQs

Is The North Face Glacier Fleece Jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is moisture-repelling, meaning it can shed light moisture and resist splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and will not protect you in heavy rain. For complete waterproof protection, we recommend layering it with a dedicated waterproof outer shell.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for a range of outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and trekking in cool conditions, as well as for everyday casual wear. Its versatility allows it to function well as both an outer layer in mild weather and a mid-layer in colder conditions.

How should I wash and care for my fleece jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. We recommend washing it with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry to maintain the integrity and softness of the fleece. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and do not iron.

What does 'Circular Design' mean for this product?

The North Face's Circular Design initiative signifies a commitment to minimizing waste and pollution throughout the product's lifecycle. It aims to create products that can be reused, repaired, or recycled more easily, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?

While the 100% Polyester fleece provides good warmth, for very cold winter weather, this jacket is best utilized as an insulating mid-layer. You'll want to wear it over a suitable base layer and under a heavy, insulated, and weather-resistant outer shell for optimal protection.

Does this jacket come with pockets?

Info needed: Please check the product images or detailed specifications for information on pockets. The general description provided does not specify pockets, but many fleece jackets include hand pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fleece is pilling (small fabric balls appear)

Pilling is common with fleece. To reduce it, wash the jacket inside out. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a specialized lint comb.

Zipper is sticking or hard to move

Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zipper teeth. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil lead or a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Jacket retains odors after washing

Ensure you are using enough detergent and washing in cold water. Adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle can help neutralize odors. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine.

Fleece feels less soft or matted after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can build up on fleece fibers. Ensure the jacket is tumble dried on very low heat or air dried completely. Over-drying or high heat can damage the fibers.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece jacket:

  • Washing: The jacket is machine washable. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions. Generally, wash with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage the fleece fibers.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry to prevent pilling and maintain the fabric's softness. Avoid high heat, which can melt synthetic fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron the fleece jacket, as high heat can damage the fabric.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
