FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The Glacier Fleece is designed as a lightweight, comfortable mid-layer to provide warmth during cool or unpredictable weather conditions, suitable for various outdoor activities.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold, wet weather?

While it provides good warmth, it is primarily a mid-layer. For very cold or wet conditions, it should be worn under a waterproof and insulated outer shell.

How should I determine the correct size?

The North Face recommends going a size up for a better fit, especially if you plan to layer thicker items underneath.

Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the Glacier Fleece is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for children regardless of gender.

How do I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

What does 'pill-resistant' mean?

Pill-resistant fabric is treated or constructed to minimize the formation of small balls (pills) of fiber on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.

Is this product eco-friendly?

Yes, this product is made with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softeners. A low-heat tumble dry with a couple of clean tennis balls can help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. If still difficult, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the zipper teeth can help it glide smoothly.

Pilling has started to appear.

While the fleece is pill-resistant, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed to minimize future pilling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent lightweight warmth for its class.
  • The fleece material is very soft and comfortable against the skin.
  • Durable construction resists pilling, ensuring longevity.
  • Versatile design suitable for various outdoor activities and casual wear.
  • Features thoughtful details like a chin guard for added comfort.

Cons

  • The North Face recommends sizing up for a better fit, which may require adjustment.
  • As a fleece, it may not be sufficient as an outer layer in very harsh, wet conditions.
  • Limited pockets, typical for a mid-layer fleece design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed as a versatile mid-layer, it pairs well with base layers for added warmth or can be worn over a t-shirt on cooler days. It fits comfortably under a waterproof or insulated jacket.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Detergents: Use only mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fleece fibers and reduce insulation.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can melt or warp the synthetic fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can damage the material.
  5. Washing Frequency: Wash as needed, but frequent washing is not necessary unless soiled, as it can extend the garment's life.
