FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof or windproof. It is designed to provide warmth and works best as a mid-layer, ideally paired with a waterproof outer shell in wet or windy conditions.
How do I wash this fleece jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, iron, or dry clean.
What does 'zip-in compatible with Triclimates' mean?
This feature means the fleece jacket can be zipped into specific outer shells from The North Face's Triclimate range. This allows you to combine the fleece for warmth with a protective outer shell for a versatile, single jacket system.
Can I wear this jacket as an outer layer?
Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, for protection against wind, rain, or very cold temperatures, it's recommended to layer it with an appropriate outer shell.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester fleece, offering warmth, breathability, and comfort.
Is this fleece suitable for extreme cold?
While it provides good warmth, for extreme cold, this fleece is best used as an insulating mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system, including a base layer and a protective outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold conditions.
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder temperatures, ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath and an outer shell (especially a Triclimate compatible one) for wind and moisture protection.
Fleece is pilling or looking worn.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid excessive agitation, and do not use fabric softener. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. For stiffness, you can try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) along the teeth. Always operate the zipper carefully to avoid damage.
