Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This jacket requires no complex setup; it's ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply put it on and adjust the full zip for comfort.
Compatibility
- Layering: Designed to be worn as a mid-layer over a base layer (like a t-shirt or thermal) and under an outer shell (such as a waterproof or windproof jacket) for comprehensive weather protection.
- Zip-in System: It is zip-in compatible with many The North Face Triclimate jackets. Look for Triclimate shells that feature a compatible zipper system to integrate this fleece for a 3-in-1 jacket solution.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece jacket. Always refer to the specific care label on your garment, but general fleece care guidelines include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to turn the jacket inside out before washing to help protect the fleece fibers.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage the fabric.
- Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners. They can clog the fleece fibers, reducing breathability and wicking properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. High heat can cause the fleece to melt or pill. Remove promptly when dry.
- Ironing: Do not iron. Fleece material is susceptible to melting and damage from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
