Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glacier Fleece is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and casual users alike who need a reliable, lightweight mid-layer that provides consistent warmth without the bulk. This versatile piece excels as an insulating layer under a heavier shell or as a standalone top in moderate temperatures, though its lightweight fleece construction means it is not designed to withstand high winds or heavy rain on its own.

- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain fabric integrity.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to prevent pilling or heat damage to the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Hang the garment when not in use to maintain its shape, or fold it neatly to save space in your pack.
