FAQs

Is The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket waterproof?

No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

What does 'zip-in compatible' mean?

'Zip-in compatible' means that this fleece jacket can be securely zipped into a compatible outer jacket from The North Face, often called a Triclimate jacket. This allows you to combine the two pieces into one functional jacket system.

How should I wash this fleece jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?

While it provides good warmth, this fleece is primarily an insulating mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, it should be worn as part of a layering system, with a warm base layer underneath and a robust, insulated, and weather-protective outer shell over it.

What material is the jacket made from?

The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket is made from fleece material, known for its warmth, softness, and quick-drying properties.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket features two practical hand pockets, which are great for keeping your hands warm or storing small essentials.

Troubleshooting

Fleece starts to pill after washing or wear

Pilling is common with fleece. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid excessive friction in the wash, and tumble dry on low. A fabric shaver or lint roller can remove existing pills.

Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather

This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over it to maximize warmth and protection.

Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently rubbing a graphite pencil or a specialty zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fleece seems to lose its softness over time

Avoid using harsh detergents or excessive fabric softener, as these can affect the fleece fibers. Washing with a mild detergent and air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can help maintain softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Wear

No specific 'setup' is required for this fleece jacket. Simply unpack and wear. For optimal comfort and to remove any manufacturing residue, it's recommended to wash the jacket before its first use according to the care instructions.

Compatibility

This jacket features zip-in compatibility through its center front zip. This means it can be securely zipped into specific compatible outer jackets (often referred to as Triclimate jackets) from The North Face. This creates a versatile 3-in-1 system, allowing you to adapt to changing weather by wearing the fleece, the outer shell, or both combined.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and longevity. Always check the garment's internal care label for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for fleece:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage fleece fibers.
  • Bleach/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Fabric Softener: Avoid using fabric softener as it can reduce the fleece's wicking and breathability over time.
