The 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece excels as a versatile mid-layer in a wide range of conditions. For a brisk morning hike, wear it over a base layer for immediate warmth. As the day warms up, the full-zip design allows for quick ventilation, or you can easily shed it and pack it away due to its lightweight nature.
When conditions turn colder or wet, this fleece is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible The North Face waterproof or windproof shells. The zip-in compatibility feature means you can effectively create a single, more protective jacket system, providing both insulation and weather protection.
Its breathable microfleece structure prevents overheating during moderate activity while still retaining critical body heat. This makes it suitable for activities like walking, hiking, camping, or simply enjoying cooler outdoor environments. The anti-pilling finish ensures it maintains a fresh appearance even with regular use, making it a reliable staple for both outdoor adventures and casual daily wear.
Initial Wear: Simply put on the fleece. No special setup is required.
Layering: This fleece is designed to be worn over a base layer (e.g., a technical t-shirt) and under an outer shell (e.g., a waterproof jacket) for optimal warmth and weather protection.
Zip-in Integration: Look for The North Face outer shells that feature "zip-in compatibility." The fleece can be zipped into these shells using the loop at the back collar and the snap tapes on the cuffs, creating a single, integrated piece of outerwear.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece.
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fleece fibers.
Bleaching: Do not bleach.
Ironing: Do not iron.
Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Pilling Prevention: The anti-pilling treatment helps, but turning the fleece inside out before washing can further reduce pilling. Avoid washing with items that have rough surfaces or zippers that could snag the fabric.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
