The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Jacket is engineered for adaptability across various cool weather scenarios.
As a Mid-Layer: Its primary strength lies in its zip-in compatibility. For cold, wet, or windy conditions, zip it into a compatible The North Face Triclimate shell. This creates a powerful 3-in-1 system, offering insulation from the fleece and protection from the elements by the outer shell. This setup is ideal for winter hiking, skiing, or commuting in unpredictable weather.
As a Standalone Jacket: In milder, cool, and dry conditions, wear the jacket on its own. It provides ample warmth for autumn walks, spring evenings, or cool indoor environments. The regular fit allows for comfortable movement, making it suitable for casual wear or light outdoor activities.
For Everyday Comfort: The soft polyester fleece fabric and high collar make it a comfortable choice for daily errands, lounging at home, or traveling. The zip side pockets offer convenient, secure storage for your phone, keys, or small wallet.
Outdoor Activities: Whether you're trail walking, camping, or simply enjoying the outdoors in crisp weather, this jacket serves as an excellent insulating layer. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to pack and carry.
This jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on as a standalone piece or prepare it for integration with a compatible outer shell.
Triclimate System: The key compatibility feature is its zip-in compatible design with The North Face Triclimate jackets. To utilize this, ensure your outer shell has the corresponding zip-in compatible tape and snaps. Simply align the zippers, fasten the loops at the neck and cuffs, and you have a unified, insulated, and weather-protected system.
Layering: While designed to integrate, it also layers well over base layers or light sweaters and under non-Triclimate waterproof or windproof jackets.
To maintain the jacket's quality and extend its lifespan, follow these general care guidelines for polyester fleece:
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Zip up all zippers before washing to prevent snagging.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to air dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage fleece fibers.
Ironing: Do not iron, as direct heat can melt or damage the polyester fabric.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing for long periods to maintain loft.
Info needed: Always refer to the product's internal care label for specific instructions, as variations may exist.
