The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece - Grey - XXL

No, The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or heavy snow, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.

This fleece provides excellent warmth for cool to moderately cold conditions. For very cold weather or extreme temperatures, it is recommended to wear it as part of a comprehensive layering system, with a suitable base layer underneath and a warm, protective outer layer over it.

'1/4 Zip' (or Quarter Zip) refers to the zipper that extends from the collar down approximately a quarter of the way on the front of the garment. This design allows for adjustable ventilation, letting you open it for airflow when active or close it for warmth when static.

Yes, the fleece is made from 100% Recycled Polyester. This commitment to recycled materials helps reduce waste and lessens the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new fabrics.

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius (cold water) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry. Always refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions.

Yes, it features two convenient zip-fastening hand pockets, providing secure storage for your small essentials while ensuring they don't fall out during activity.

This fleece features a 'regular fit,' meaning it's designed to be comfortable and allow for easy layering without being too tight or too loose. It offers a good balance between comfort and mobility.

While marketed as a men's fleece, the regular fit and versatile design mean many women find it comfortable and functional for outdoor activities or casual wear. We recommend checking the size chart and considering personal preferences for fit.

Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees Celsius (cold water) and avoiding fabric softeners, which can block the fibers and reduce insulation. Tumble dry on low or air dry to fluff up the fibers. Over-washing can also compress fibers; wash only when necessary.

Static can build up in synthetic fabrics like polyester fleece, especially in dry conditions. Washing with a small amount of distilled white vinegar (instead of fabric softener) can help. If tumble drying, use a dryer sheet on a low-heat setting. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before wearing.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated debris, lint, or fabric snags. A silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil can be carefully applied to the zipper teeth to improve smooth movement. If the zipper is bent, gently try to straighten it.
