FAQs

What is the primary use for this fleece?

The 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is primarily designed as an insulating mid-layer for warmth during cool or cold weather activities, and for casual everyday wear.

Is this fleece waterproof or windproof?

No, this fleece is neither waterproof nor windproof. It is designed for insulation and should be worn under a protective outer shell in adverse weather conditions.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean?

Anti-pilling means the fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, which helps maintain the garment's smooth appearance and feel over time.

What is the material made of?

The fleece is made from 160 G/M, 100% Recycled Polyester Knit Fleece.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by The North Face. This specific product is listed as size XS, corresponding to UK Women's Dress size 12.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

While this specific product description is for a women's fit, The North Face offers similar Glacier fleece styles in men's and unisex versions.

How do I care for the embroidered logo?

The embroidered logo is durable. Follow the general care instructions for the fleece (machine wash cold, tumble dry low) to ensure its longevity. Avoid direct high heat on the logo area during ironing if you were to iron (though ironing is not recommended for the fabric).

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash again with a mild detergent without softener.

Pilling is starting to appear

While treated to be anti-pilling, excessive friction can sometimes cause minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas. Always follow washing instructions carefully.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper still feels stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth for its weight.
  • Soft and comfortable microfibre fleece material.
  • Durable construction with anti-pilling treatment.
  • Versatile 1/4 zip for adjustable ventilation.
  • Made from recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough as a standalone outer layer in very cold weather.
  • Limited pocket options.
  • Relies on other layers for significant weather protection (wind/rain).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

This fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece. It pairs well with:

  • Base layers (e.g., thermal shirts)
  • Mid-layers (e.g., heavier fleeces or down vests)
  • Outer shells (e.g., waterproof or windproof jackets)
  • Various bottoms, from activewear leggings to casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece, please follow these care instructions:

  1. Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
  2. Use Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fleece's performance.
  3. Wash with Similar Colors: To prevent color transfer, wash with items of similar shades.
  4. Do Not Bleach: Avoid using any bleach products.
  5. Tumble Dry Low: Dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly once dry.
  6. Do Not Iron: The material does not require ironing. If creasing occurs, a brief period in the dryer may help.
