FAQs
Is The North Face Glacier Fleece Jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is designed to repel moisture and manage sweat, but it is not fully waterproof. For protection in rainy conditions, it should be worn with a waterproof outer shell.
What is the jacket made of?
The North Face Glacier Fleece Jacket is made from 100% Polyester fleece material.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners to maintain its performance.
What does 'Circular Design initiative' mean?
The Circular Design initiative signifies that this product is part of a collection created with the goal of minimizing waste and pollution. Once the product reaches the end of its life, it can be recycled back into new products, promoting a more sustainable lifecycle.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
While it provides good warmth, for extreme cold conditions, this fleece should be used as part of a comprehensive layering system, including a warm base layer and an insulated outer shell, for optimal thermal regulation.
Can this jacket be worn as an everyday casual item?
Absolutely. While highly functional for outdoor activities, its comfortable fit and style, including the unique floral pattern, make it an excellent choice for casual everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This fleece is designed as a mid-layer; consider adding a base layer underneath or a shell over top for increased insulation or wind protection.
Jacket gets wet when exposed to rain.
This fleece jacket is moisture-repelling but not waterproof. For protection against rain, always wear it in conjunction with a waterproof outer shell.
Fleece appears to be pilling after washing.
Pilling can sometimes occur with fleece. To minimize this, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle, use cold water, and avoid washing with abrasive materials like towels or denim. Air drying can also help.
Static cling is an issue.
Polyester fabrics can sometimes build static. Try adding a quarter cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle during washing, or use dryer balls when tumble drying to reduce static.
