FAQs

Is The North Face Glacier Fleece 1/4 Zip waterproof or windproof?

No, this fleece is made from 100% polyester and is not designed to be waterproof or windproof. It provides excellent insulation but should be layered with a waterproof or windproof outer shell for protection in adverse weather.

Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its breathable polyester material and 1/4 zip design for ventilation make it suitable for various levels of activity, including hiking and other moderate-intensity sports. It wicks moisture away and dries quickly.

How do I choose the right size?

The North Face Glacier Fleece features a regular fit. We recommend referring to the official The North Face size chart to find your best fit based on your chest and arm measurements. It's designed to allow for comfortable layering.

Will this fleece shrink in the wash?

Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking. To ensure the best care and prevent any potential issues, always wash in cold water and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry.

What is the best way to prevent pilling on the fleece?

To minimize pilling, wash your fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing it with abrasive fabrics like denim. If pilling occurs, a simple fabric shaver can effectively remove it.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or has developed pilling.

Pilling can occur due to friction. To mitigate, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive contact. For existing pills, a fabric shaver can effectively remove them without damaging the fleece.

Fleece retains odors even after washing.

Polyester can sometimes trap odors. Try washing with a sports-specific detergent designed for synthetics or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (during the rinse) to neutralize odors. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.

Static cling is an issue after drying.

Reduce static by air drying the fleece or using a very low heat setting in the dryer. Dryer balls can also help reduce static and speed up drying time without harsh chemicals. Avoid over-drying.

Fleece doesn't seem as warm as before.

Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can flatten the fibers and reduce insulation. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat fibers. If pilling is severe, removing it can sometimes restore some loft.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your The North Face Glacier Fleece 1/4 Zip arrives ready to wear. No special setup is required. For best results, consider washing it before your first use to ensure maximum comfort and remove any manufacturing residue.

Compatibility

This fleece features a regular fit and a unisex design, making it highly compatible with various body types and layering systems. It pairs well with:

  • Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking t-shirts or long-sleeve tops for active use.
  • Outer Shells: Fits comfortably under waterproof or windproof jackets for added protection in adverse weather.
  • Casual Wear: Easily integrates with jeans, athletic pants, or shorts for everyday style.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your polyester fleece. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Using cold water helps preserve the fabric's integrity and prevents shrinking or stretching. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers of synthetic materials, reducing their wicking and breathability over time.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry flat. High heat can damage polyester fibers, leading to pilling and reduced loft. Remove promptly when dry to prevent static.
  4. Bleach & Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as high heat will melt or damage the polyester fabric.
  5. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Ensure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
