No, this fleece is designed for insulation and breathability, not as a waterproof or windproof outer layer. For protection against rain, snow, or strong winds, it should be worn under a waterproof and/or windproof shell jacket.
Microfleece is a lighter, finer type of fleece fabric. It's known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, softness, and breathability, making it ideal for layering without adding bulk. It offers good insulation while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Look for a compatible zipper system and snaps at the cuffs and back collar on your outer jacket, typically found on The North Face triclimate or zip-in compatible shells. The fleece has a specific zip-in loop at the back collar and tape & snap on cuffs.
While breathable, it's designed for cooler temperatures. In warmer weather, it might be too warm for active use, but it could be comfortable for cool evenings or air-conditioned environments as a lightweight outer layer.
It means The North Face has designed this product with its end-of-life in mind. Once you're done with it, you can return it to The North Face, and they will recycle it into new products, reducing waste. Check their website for details on participation.
Store your fleece clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods if possible, as this can flatten the fibers and slightly reduce its loft and insulating properties. Hanging it or folding it loosely is ideal.
This fleece is designed primarily for layering. In very cold or windy conditions, wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over it for maximum warmth and protection.
Pilling can occur with fleece over time due to friction. To minimize this, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with similar soft fabrics. Avoid washing with rough materials or items that have zippers/Velcro that can snag the fleece. You can carefully remove existing pills with a fabric shaver.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (available at outdoor stores) or a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
While breathable, fleece can trap heat during intense activity. Consider unzipping the front to ventilate, or remove a layer. Ensure your base layer is also breathable and moisture-wicking to prevent sweat buildup against your skin.
