Product Information

Full details

The North Face Glacier Fleece 1/4 Zip is an essential piece of technical apparel designed for adult men who need reliable warmth without the bulk. Crafted from high-quality polyester microfleece, this garment excels as a versatile layering piece for mountain excursions or casual daily wear, offering excellent breathability to prevent overheating. While its lightweight, lofted structure provides warmth, users should note that as a fleece, it is not windproof and should be paired with a shell in harsh, breezy conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, the Glacier Fleece is breathable and is not windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windproof or waterproof shell.

Can I put this in the dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the fleece to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers and maintain the loft of the material.

Does it have pockets?

The standard 1/4 zip design of the Glacier Fleece typically does not include pockets to maintain its lightweight and streamlined profile.

What is the circular design initiative?

It is a program where the brand designs products with recyclable materials and provides a system for you to return the item once you are finished with it, ensuring it stays out of landfills.

What should I wear under this?

A synthetic or merino wool base layer works best to maximize moisture management and heat retention.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Pilling is common with microfleece after heavy use. Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz.

Zipper feeling stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, lightly run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly packable
  • Excellent breathability for active use
  • Comfortable seam-free shoulder design
  • Environmentally conscious circular design
  • Versatile layering capability

Cons

  • Provides no wind protection on its own
  • Not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions without a shell
  • Limited pocket space due to 1/4 zip design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece features a regular fit, meaning it is designed to accommodate layers underneath without restricting movement. It is fully compatible with most waterproof hardshells or insulated parkas in The North Face lineup.

To ensure the longevity of the microfleece:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  2. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers.
  3. Air dry whenever possible to maintain the loft of the fleece.
  4. If the garment reaches the end of its life, check the brand website for instructions on how to return it to the Circular Design recycling program.
