The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket is designed to be a highly adaptable garment for a range of outdoor and casual scenarios.
Mid-Layer Warmth: Excels as a mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof shell, providing crucial insulation during hiking, trekking, or skiing in cooler temperatures.
Standalone Outerwear (Mild Conditions): Perfect for casual wear, dog walks, or light activity on dry, cool, and calm days.
Temperature Regulation: The full-zip feature allows for quick ventilation when your activity level increases, preventing overheating, and can be zipped up fully to seal in warmth when resting or in colder spots.
Moisture Management: While not explicitly sweat-wicking, fleece generally allows for some breathability, helping to manage moisture in conjunction with a good base layer.
Travel Companion: Its lightweight nature and comfort make it a great choice for travel, providing a cozy layer for planes, trains, or chilly evenings.
Hiking and Backpacking: Provides essential warmth without excessive weight, easy to pack and layer.
Everyday Wear: Comfortable and stylish enough for daily errands, casual outings, or relaxing at home.
Camping: Offers a reliable source of warmth around the campfire or inside a tent.
Skiing/Snowboarding: An ideal mid-layer for warmth under a ski jacket, with the full zip allowing adjustments on the slopes.
There is no specific setup required for this jacket. Simply unpack, put it on, and adjust the full-zip as desired for comfort and warmth.
Zip-in System: This jacket features a proprietary zip-in system, allowing it to be securely attached to compatible The North Face outer shells. This creates an integrated, warmer, and more protective jacket system without added bulk. Look for The North Face jackets marked with "zip-in compatible" for seamless integration.
Layering: Beyond zip-in compatibility, it layers effectively over base layers (like technical t-shirts or thermals) and under heavier coats or waterproof shells.
To ensure the longevity of your 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket and maintain its anti-pilling properties, follow these general care guidelines. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the jacket's internal label for the most accurate advice.
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage fleece fibers and reduce its anti-pilling effectiveness.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry flat. High heat can damage the fleece and affect its texture.
Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure it's clean and completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
