What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% Polyester, offering durable warmth and breathability.
How should I wash this fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing. Use mild detergent and do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or air dry flat, and do not iron.
Does it have internal pockets?

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This fleece provides essential warmth for cool to cold conditions. For very cold or freezing temperatures, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a more substantial, insulated outer jacket to maximize warmth.
Is the branding embroidered or printed?
The North Face branding on the chest and back is typically embroidered, adding to its authentic outdoor credentials and durability. Info needed: [Confirm embroidery vs print for this specific model]
Troubleshooting
Fleece is pilling (small fabric balls forming).
This can happen over time with fleece. To reduce pilling, wash inside out on a gentle cycle, avoid excessive heat when drying, and refrain from using fabric softeners. A fabric shaver or lint remover can be used to carefully remove existing pills.
Zippers feel stiff or are snagging.
Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zipper teeth. Try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or specialized zipper wax) to the teeth to improve smoothness. Always zip and unzip gently.
Fleece has lost some of its warmth or softness.
This could be due to residue from fabric softeners or improper washing. Re-wash without fabric softener and ensure it's fully air-dried. Gently brushing the fleece with a soft brush can sometimes help restore its loft.
The garment retains odors even after washing.
Add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (during the rinse) along with your regular detergent. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing, as dampness can encourage odor-causing bacteria. Airing it out periodically can also help.
