FAQs

Is The North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece waterproof or windproof?

No, this fleece is designed for insulation and is neither waterproof nor inherently windproof. For protection against rain or wind, it should be paired with a suitable outer shell.

What does 'zip-in compatible' mean for this fleece?

Zip-in compatibility means the fleece can be securely zipped into a compatible outer jacket, such as The North Face Triclimate shell. This allows you to combine the two pieces into a single, integrated jacket system for enhanced warmth and weather protection.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer?

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. Its soft feel and insulating properties make it comfortable for everyday wear or light outdoor activities when there's no strong wind or rain.

What material is the 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece made from?

It is made from 100% Polyester soft brushed microfibre fleece, providing excellent warmth and comfort.

How should I wash and care for my fleece?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry low and remove promptly. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the fleece's integrity.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the fleece features two front pockets with secure zipper closures, ideal for safely storing small personal items.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

While it provides good insulation, for very cold winter weather, it's best utilized as a mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system, combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.

Troubleshooting

Fleece doesn't feel warm enough in cold conditions.

This fleece is designed as an insulating layer. For very cold weather, ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer underneath and consider adding a windproof or waterproof outer shell to block wind and retain heat.

Fleece feels clammy or causes sweating during activity.

The full-zip closure allows for ventilation. Unzip the fleece partially or fully to release excess heat. If layering, ensure your base layer is made of moisture-wicking material.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the fleece.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint roller to carefully remove them.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, graphite from a pencil, or wax to the teeth, then work the zipper up and down gently to distribute.

Fleece is attracting a lot of static.

Static build-up is common with synthetic fabrics. Use a dryer sheet when tumble drying or spray with an anti-static spray. Ensure the fleece is fully dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no complex setup required for the 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece. Simply wear it as a standalone jacket or as a mid-layer. Ensure zippers are functioning smoothly before use. To utilize the zip-in compatibility feature, locate the compatible zippers within your The North Face Triclimate jacket and align them with the fleece's zippers, securing any additional attachment points like loops or snaps if present.

Compatibility

This fleece is specifically designed to be zip-in compatible with various The North Face Triclimate jackets. This allows you to combine the fleece with an outer shell to create a single, integrated jacket system, providing warmth and weather protection simultaneously. Always check the compatibility of your specific Triclimate jacket model.

Care Instructions

Proper care will prolong the life and performance of your fleece. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Using a mild detergent is recommended.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly to avoid wrinkles and excessive heat exposure, which can damage fleece fibers.
  3. Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can break down the fibers and reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. The high heat can melt the synthetic fibers.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
