FAQs
What material is The North Face Glacier Heavyweight Full Zip made from?
This jacket is made from 100% Polyester, providing excellent warmth and durability.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is not waterproof. It is designed primarily for warmth and insulation. While the ripstop panels add durability, they do not provide waterproofing. For wet conditions, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell over this jacket.
Can I wear this jacket in extremely cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather as part of a layering system. For extreme cold, it should be used as an insulating mid-layer with a proper base layer and a protective outer shell.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, it features two secure zip side pockets for storing small items.
Is this jacket suitable for both men and women?
Yes, The North Face Glacier Heavyweight Full Zip is designed as a unisex garment.
How should I store this jacket?
Store the jacket clean and completely dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently cleaning the zipper teeth with a small brush and applying a zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth.
Fabric appears pilled or has small fuzz balls.
Pilling can occur with wear or improper washing. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to carefully remove pills. To prevent future pilling, wash inside out with similar fabrics and avoid abrasive surfaces.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the conditions. This jacket is an insulating layer; for very cold or windy conditions, pair it with a windproof/waterproof outer shell and a suitable base layer. Check that the full zip is completely closed.
Odd odor persists after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage. If an odor persists, wash with a dedicated athletic wash detergent or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (in addition to detergent) to help neutralize odors. Do not use bleach.
