FAQs

Is The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or snow, you will need to wear a separate waterproof outer shell over the fleece.

What kind of weather is this fleece best suited for?

This fleece is ideal for cool to mild conditions. It serves as an excellent mid-layer for colder temperatures when combined with an outer shell, or as a lightweight outer layer in dry, cool weather during spring, summer evenings, or fall.

Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity activities?

Yes, its breathable microfleece construction makes it suitable for various activities like hiking or trekking. However, for very high-intensity activities, you might find it provides too much warmth, and a lighter base layer might be preferred.

How should I wash and care for my fleece?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Avoid ironing to prevent damage to the fabric.

What does 'Circular Design' mean for this product?

The 'Circular Design' initiative by The North Face means the product is designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to minimize waste and pollution throughout its lifecycle. This fleece is made from materials that allow it to be recycled, supporting a more responsible approach to product consumption.

Does this fleece have pockets?

Yes, The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece features convenient side pockets, perfect for warming your hands or storing small personal items.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too cold or not warm enough in cool conditions.

The 100 Glacier Fleece provides mild warmth. For colder temperatures, ensure you are layering appropriately with a suitable base layer underneath and a waterproof/windproof outer shell on top. This fleece is not designed for extreme cold as a standalone item.

Feeling clammy or sweaty while wearing the fleece.

While the fleece is breathable, intense activity or over-layering can still lead to feeling warm. Try adjusting your layers based on your activity level and the environmental temperature. If using as a mid-layer, ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking.

Fleece appears to be attracting lint, pet hair, or small debris.

Fleece fabrics can sometimes pick up lint due to static. Wash the garment inside out with similar colors. Use a lint roller to remove any clinging debris after washing or during wear. Avoid washing with items that shed a lot of lint.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently moving the zipper up and down a few times. If stiffness persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (specific for fabrics) can be applied, or rub a pencil lead along the teeth to help smooth operation.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its loft and breathability.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat. High heat can cause pilling or damage the fabric. Do not iron.
  3. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
