The North Face Glacier Hiking Sweatshirt is engineered for active use, particularly hiking, trekking, and general sport activities. Its 100% polyester construction makes it a highly effective mid-layer, providing warmth and moisture management without feeling bulky. The full zip fastening is a key feature for hikers; you can zip it up to your high neck to retain warmth during chilly morning starts or when facing a cold breeze on a ridge, and then easily unzip it to vent excess heat as you climb or the day warms up. The two zipped front pockets are strategically placed and sized to secure small items like your phone, keys, or a trail map, preventing them from falling out during movement. Its zip-in compatibility with The North Face Triclimate jackets significantly extends its utility, allowing it to become an integrated insulating component within a robust outer shell system. This means you can adapt your jacket system to a wider range of temperatures and conditions without needing entirely separate pieces. For example, wear it alone for a cool evening walk, under a rain shell for a damp autumn hike, or zipped into a waterproof outer jacket for winter excursions.
Setup: This product requires no setup. Simply wear it as a standalone top or as part of a layering system.
Compatibility:

Secure sleeve openings via designated loops on compatible outer jackets for a snug fit.
