FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and insulation. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn with a waterproof outer shell.

Can I wear this jacket on its own?

Yes, this fleece jacket is perfectly suitable for wearing on its own in cool, dry conditions. It provides comfortable warmth for everyday wear or light outdoor activities.

How do I choose the right size?

The North Face generally offers a consistent sizing chart. It's recommended to refer to The North Face's official sizing guide, usually found on their product pages, and measure yourself to ensure the best fit.

What is 'zip-in compatibility'?

'Zip-in compatibility' means this fleece jacket is designed to zip directly into a compatible The North Face outer shell (often called a 'Triclimate' jacket). This allows you to create a versatile 3-in-1 system for varying weather conditions.

Does this fleece block wind?

While fleece provides some insulation against cold, it is generally not windproof. In windy conditions, you will likely need to wear a wind-resistant or windproof outer layer over this fleece for optimal comfort.

How durable is the fleece material?

The fleece material is designed for durability and warmth, but like all fleece, it can show signs of wear like pilling over time, especially in high-friction areas. Proper care, such as washing inside out, can help maintain its appearance.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

This jacket provides excellent lightweight warmth, making it suitable for cool temperatures or as a layering piece in cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be used as part of a comprehensive layering system, including a base layer, a warm mid-layer (like this fleece), and a protective outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than before

Fleece fibers can become compressed or clogged with residue over time, reducing insulation. Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing and consider a specialized fleece wash to restore loft.

Zipper snags or sticks

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Ensure there's no fabric caught in the teeth.

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Pilling is common with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to carefully remove pills. Washing the garment inside out can help reduce pilling.

Jacket doesn't zip into my outer shell

Verify that your outer shell is a The North Face 'Triclimate' or 'zip-in compatible' model. Not all outer shells are designed for zip-in integration. Also, ensure you are aligning the correct zippers; some shells have multiple zippers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for comfortable layering
  • Versatile as a stand-alone jacket or mid-layer
  • Zip-in compatibility extends its use with other The North Face shells
  • Soft and comfortable fleece material
  • Full-zip design for easy temperature regulation
  • Convenient hand pockets

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an outer shell in blustery conditions
  • Not waterproof, unsuitable for wet weather without a protective layer
  • Fleece material can pill over time with heavy use
  • Synthetic material may retain odors more than natural fibers if not washed properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack and wear. For zip-in compatibility, align the main zipper of the fleece with the inner zipper of your compatible The North Face Triclimate outer shell. Zip the fleece into the shell, ensuring both main zippers are engaged. Some compatible shells may also have loops or snaps at the cuffs and collar to further secure the fleece.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed for zip-in compatibility with specific The North Face Triclimate shells. Look for shells that explicitly state 'zip-in compatible' to ensure a perfect fit and function. It is primarily an adult-sized garment, suitable for males.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece jacket, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage fleece fibers.
  3. Bleach/Fabric Softener: Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog fleece fibers and reduce breathability and warmth.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Pilling Prevention: Turn the jacket inside out before washing to reduce friction and minimize pilling. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can carefully remove it.
