Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece is as simple as putting it on. Ensure it fits comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion. For optimal warmth, zip it fully and ensure the elasticated cuffs and hem are properly seated.
Compatibility
This fleece is highly compatible with other outdoor apparel, particularly as a mid-layer. It pairs well with:
- Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking t-shirts or long-sleeves for enhanced comfort and moisture management.
- Outer Shells: Designed to fit comfortably under waterproof, windproof, or insulated jackets for comprehensive weather protection.
- Pants: Complements various outdoor pants or casual trousers.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with similar colors. Cold water helps preserve the fabric's integrity and color.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties.
- Tumble Dry Low: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. High heat can cause the fleece to melt, pill, or lose its softness.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can flatten the fleece fibers, reducing insulation and potentially damaging the fabric.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can be too harsh for the fleece material.
