Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glacier Fleece 1/4 Zip is an essential layering piece designed for active adults who need lightweight, breathable warmth during outdoor pursuits or daily wear. Crafted from high-loft polyester microfleece, it effectively traps heat without the bulk of traditional heavy fleeces; however, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is not intended to serve as a standalone windproof barrier in extreme alpine conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, this is a breathable microfleece. It is designed to be worn under a windproof or waterproof shell in harsh conditions.

Can I wear this while exercising?

Yes, the microfleece is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for active pursuits like hiking or trail running.

Does this fleece have pockets?

This specific model features a streamlined design without pockets to reduce bulk and weight.

How should I wash it to maintain its loft?

Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and reduce breathability.

Is this part of a sustainable line?

Yes, this garment is part of The North Face Circular Design initiative, which focuses on reducing waste and environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Static electricity buildup

Lightly mist the fleece with water or use an anti-static spray, and ensure you are not over-drying the garment in a tumble dryer.

Pilling on fabric surface

Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull on the base threads.

Pros and Cons

  • Breathable material prevents overheating
  • Ideal for layering under waterproof shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece is designed for a regular fit; choose your standard size for the best layering performance. To ensure the longevity of the microfleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fiber integrity. If you must use a machine, select a low-heat, delicate setting.
  4. Storage: Hang or fold neatly; avoid compressing the garment under heavy items for extended periods to maintain its lofted heat-trapping structure.
