This guide provides essential information for getting the most out of your **The North Face Glacier Full-Zip Fleece**. Designed for adults, this versatile jacket offers a reliable layer of warmth thanks to its soft, brushed microfleece construction made from 100% recycled polyester. While it excels as an insulating mid-layer or standalone piece in mild conditions, it is not intended as a primary waterproof or windproof outer shell.

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide insulation and warmth. For waterproof protection, you will need to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.
The Glacier Full-Zip Fleece provides excellent warmth, but for very cold winter weather, it's best used as a mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system. Combine it with a warm base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for optimal protection.
'Zip-in compatible' means this fleece has zippers and attachment points that allow it to be securely zipped into specific compatible outer jackets from The North Face. This creates a single, integrated, warmer garment.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, ensuring all zippers are closed. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
The Glacier Full-Zip Fleece features an anti-pilling finish designed to resist pilling and maintain its appearance. However, some pilling can occur over time with wear and washing. Following care instructions and washing inside out can help minimize this.
While it provides warmth, for very high-intensity aerobic activities, you might find it too warm, as fleece can trap heat. It's generally better suited for moderate activities or as a warm layer during breaks and in cooler conditions.
Fleece can become matted with dirt and oils, reducing its loft. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to restore its insulating properties.
Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out. You can also use a fabric shaver or a lint brush to carefully remove existing pills.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil along the zipper teeth.
Synthetics can sometimes hold odors. Try washing with a sports detergent designed to eliminate odors from technical fabrics. Ensure it's completely dry before storage.
The The North Face Glacier Full-Zip Fleece requires no special setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the zipper operates smoothly before first use.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece:
