Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glacier Fleece Zip-Up Jacket is a versatile mid-layer designed for adult women who need reliable warmth during outdoor activities or casual everyday wear. Its primary benefit is the moisture-repelling fleece fabric that keeps you dry and insulated on hiking trails or in unpredictable weather, though users should note it is not waterproof on its own and works best when paired with a shell layer in heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the fleece is moisture-repelling but not waterproof. We recommend pairing it with a waterproof shell jacket for rainy conditions.

What is the Circular Design initiative?

It is The North Face's program to design products with end-of-life in mind, focusing on reducing waste and ensuring materials can be recycled.

Can I use this for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its breathability and moisture-wicking fleece make it suitable for hiking and active outdoor pursuits.

How should I clean the jacket?

Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Does it have pockets?

The design features a focus on the zip-up structure and high neck for thermal retention; please check specific pocket configurations based on current production runs.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than when new

Check for excessive pilling or fabric wear. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they can clog the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull

Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or stray threads. Apply a small amount of non-staining wax or graphite to the teeth to improve sliding performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly breathable material
  • Versatile for both active hiking and casual city wear
  • Moisture-wicking properties keep you dry during activity
  • Easy to layer under waterproof outer shells
  • Sustainable design focus

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof on its own
  • Regular fit may feel loose for those preferring a skin-tight feel
  • Requires an outer shell in severe weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your fleece in peak condition, machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the moisture-repelling performance of the fleece fibers. Always hang to dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting. The jacket is designed for full compatibility with other North Face layers, specifically matching well with their waterproof shells that feature internal attachment systems or standard zip-layering profiles. Ensure the main zip is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items.
