Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glacier 1/4 Zip is a versatile, lightweight microfleece designed for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking everyday warmth. Ideal as a breathable mid-layer under waterproof shells or as a standalone top, it offers efficient heat retention without the bulk of heavy materials. While it provides excellent thermal regulation, users should note that the lightweight fabric is not windproof and performs best when paired with an outer layer in harsh weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Glacier 1/4 Zip is designed for breathability. It is recommended to pair it with a windproof or waterproof shell in windy conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it can be worn as a layer, it is best suited as a mid-layer over a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino base layer.
How should I wash my North Face fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, and hang dry to preserve the loft.
Does the fit run true to size?
Yes, it follows a standard Regular fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you might consider your standard size.
What does Circular Design mean?
It means the product is designed to minimize waste and pollution, ensuring that materials can be recycled or regenerated at the end of the product's life cycle.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after multiple washes
This is likely due to detergent buildup. Run an extra rinse cycle or use less detergent in future washes.
Visible pilling on fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills, which are common in soft fleece materials after heavy friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the loft and performance of the microfleece, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and reduce the fleece's natural breathability. Always air dry the item whenever possible to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the stretch binding. The garment is designed with a standard Regular fit, making it compatible with most layering systems, but if you prefer a slimmer profile under technical shells, consider your sizing requirements carefully.
