FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece provides excellent insulation as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it should be combined with a warm base layer and a windproof, insulated outer jacket to maximize warmth and protection.

Is the fleece waterproof or water-resistant?

No, this fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It will absorb moisture. For protection against rain or snow, you will need to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

How should I wash this fleece to prevent damage?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent damage to the fibers.

What does '100% Recycled Polyester' mean for me?

This means the fabric is made entirely from recycled plastic materials, reducing waste and conserving resources. You benefit from a high-quality, durable fleece that also supports environmental sustainability.

Are the pockets secure enough for valuables?

Yes, the fleece features two front pockets with reliable zipper closures, designed to securely hold small valuables like keys, phones, or wallets during your activities.

What is the fit like for this fleece?

The North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece typically offers a standard, comfortable fit designed for layering. The elasticated cuffs and hem contribute to a snug feel that helps retain warmth. For specific sizing guidance, please refer to the brand's size chart.

Troubleshooting

Fleece is not as warm as expected.

Ensure you are using an effective layering system. This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. Add a proper base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell if conditions are cold or windy.

Fleece is pilling (small balls of fabric forming).

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid washing with abrasive items (like denim), and skip fabric softener. You can use a fabric shaver to remove existing pills.

Zipper is stiff or sticking.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. If still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the teeth.

Static cling is an issue.

Static build-up is common with synthetic fabrics. Try using an anti-static spray, a dryer sheet (if tumble drying on low), or air-drying to reduce static electricity.

Compatibility

This fleece is highly compatible with a layering system:

  • Base Layer: Wear over a moisture-wicking t-shirt or thermal top for optimal comfort and dryness.
  • Outer Shell: For windy, rainy, or very cold conditions, pair it with a waterproof, windproof, or insulated outer jacket.

It is suitable for a wide range of activities, from light strolls to more strenuous outdoor adventures, as long as appropriate outer protection is considered.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your fleece. Always refer to the care label, but general recommendations for fleece include:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid hot water, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fleece's breathability and insulating properties.
  • Bleach: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry flat or hang to dry. High heat can melt or damage fleece fibers.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
