The North Face 100 Glacier Cropped Quarter Zip Fleece - Black

The 100 Glacier Cropped Quarter Zip Fleece provides light to moderate warmth and is ideal for cool conditions. For very cold winter weather, it's best used as a mid-layer under a heavier, insulated jacket.

Recycled polyester is made from recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, melted, and spun into new fibers. This reduces waste and conserves resources compared to virgin polyester production.

The fleece features a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders. For an accurate fit, it's recommended to consult The North Face's official size guide, paying attention to chest and sleeve measurements. If you prefer a more fitted look, you might consider sizing down, but be aware of the cropped length.

While suitable for light walks and casual outdoor use, this fleece is not designed for strenuous hiking or activities requiring technical performance gear. Its primary purpose is comfort and casual style.

The cropped design typically ends around the natural waistline. Its exact position will depend on your torso length and the rise of your bottoms. It's intended to be a stylish cropped fit, which may expose a small amount of midriff depending on personal fit and styling.

Polyester is generally good at retaining color. To prevent any potential fading, always wash in cold water with a mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint roller to carefully remove them.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can build up on synthetic fibers. Ensure you're washing with a mild detergent and tumble drying on low heat, or air drying.

Static can be common with polyester. Try using dryer balls during tumbling, or lightly misting with an anti-static spray. Ensure the fleece is not over-dried.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. If needed, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax-based stick) to the teeth.
