The North Face 100 Glacier Fz Fleece is an essential piece for building a flexible wardrobe that adapts to varying conditions. Its design emphasizes warmth, breathability, and layering versatility.
As a Mid-Layer: Integrate this fleece into your outdoor system by zipping it into a compatible The North Face Triclimate shell. This combination provides a warm, insulated core with a waterproof or windproof exterior, ideal for hiking, skiing, or urban exploration in cold, wet, or windy weather.
Stand-Alone Outerwear: On cool, dry days, this fleece serves perfectly as a lightweight outer jacket. Wear it for casual walks, running errands, or during cool evenings outdoors. The full-zip front allows for easy temperature regulation.
Travel Companion: Its lightweight and relatively packable nature makes it a great choice for travel, offering warmth without taking up too much luggage space. It's excellent for chilly plane cabins or hotel rooms.
Remember, while the fleece provides excellent insulation, it's not windproof or waterproof. For optimal performance in adverse weather, always combine it with an appropriate outer layer.
Setup Simply put on the jacket over your desired base layer. To utilize its Triclimate compatibility, align the front zipper of the fleece with the inner zipper track of your compatible The North Face Triclimate outer shell. Zip them together, then secure the sleeve snaps and neck loop.
Compatibility This fleece is specifically designed for 'zip-in compatibility' with The North Face Triclimate jackets. This feature allows you to attach it securely to a range of The North Face outer shells, providing an integrated 3-in-1 jacket system. Always check your outer shell's product details for Triclimate compatibility.
Care Proper care extends the life and performance of your fleece:
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to turn the jacket inside out before washing to help prevent pilling and protect the exterior.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as softeners can clog the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat. Remove promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkles.
Do Not: Bleach, iron, or dry clean this garment.
