The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece excels as a versatile layering piece for various outdoor activities and casual wear. Its microfleece construction with a unique lofted design effectively traps air for warmth while remaining breathable, preventing you from overheating during moderate activity. This makes it an ideal mid-layer for hiking, trekking, or camping in cool to cold conditions.
For example, when hiking in spring or autumn, you can wear it over a base layer for comfortable warmth. If the weather changes or temperatures drop, its zip-in compatibility allows you to seamlessly integrate it with a waterproof shell jacket, providing a comprehensive protective system. The full-zip closure offers instant ventilation control; you can fully zip up for maximum warmth or partially open it to cool down quickly during exertion.
The elastic binding at the hem and cuffs ensures the fleece stays in place and effectively seals out cold drafts, maintaining core body temperature. The two zipped side pockets are practical for securely storing small items like keys, a phone, or trail snacks, ensuring they don't fall out during movement. Its anti-pilling property means it will maintain its soft feel and neat appearance even after repeated use and washing, making it a reliable companion for many adventures.
Unpack: Carefully remove the fleece from its packaging.
Adjust: Use the full-zip closure to achieve your desired level of warmth and ventilation.
Layer (Optional): For colder conditions or enhanced weather protection, wear it over a base layer or zip it into a compatible The North Face outer shell jacket.
Zip-in Compatible: This fleece is specifically designed to zip into compatible The North Face Triclimate jackets or other shells with zip-in compatible features. Look for a central front zip, zip-in compatible tape and snap at the sleeve opening, and a zip-in compatible loop at the neck on your shell jacket.
General Care: The microfleece is designed to be anti-pilling, contributing to its longevity and appearance.
Washing: Info needed: Specific washing instructions (temperature, detergent, drying) are not provided in the product description. Generally, fleece garments benefit from washing inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric and reduce its wicking properties.
Drying: Info needed: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to maintain fabric quality and prevent shrinking or damage.
