FAQs
What is the primary material of the Yumori 1/4 Zip Fleece?
The Yumori 1/4 Zip Fleece is made from 100% polyester high-pile fleece fabric, known for its warmth and softness.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather on its own?
While warm, this fleece is best described as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a more protective outer shell or insulated jacket.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to The North Face's general women's sizing chart. The product description notes a model wearing a size S is 5'6" for reference. It's always advisable to check specific measurements if available.
Can I put the fleece in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the fleece, but it should be on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fleece fibers and affect its softness and loft.
What kind of items can I store in the zippered chest pocket?
The zippered chest pouch is suitable for small, essential items such as keys, credit cards, identification, or a small mobile phone.
Does the fleece have a hood?
No, the The North Face Yumori 1/4 Zip Fleece does not feature a hood. It has a stand-up collar that is part of the 1/4-zip design.
What colors are available?
This specific product listing is for a Grey variant. Other available colors may include Granite Grey and Lemon Mist, depending on retail availability.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers. If this has occurred, try a second rinse cycle without detergent. Ensure you are washing and drying on appropriate, low-heat settings.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Garment lost its shape.
Ensure the fleece is being dried according to care instructions, preferably air-dried or tumble-dried on low. Binding at the cuffs helps maintain shape, but consistent high-heat drying can affect this.

Compatibility: The Yumori 1/4 Zip Fleece is designed as women's apparel and pairs well with various bottoms, from jeans to hiking pants. It functions effectively as a layering piece over base layers or t-shirts and under insulated jackets or parkas.
Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece's softness and performance:
- Machine Wash: Wash with like colors in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's loft and insulating properties.

- Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not require ironing and high heat can melt the fibers.
