FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, The North Face 100 Glacier Full Zip Fleece Jacket is made from fleece material and is designed to provide warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof or water-resistant. For protection in wet conditions, it should be worn with a waterproof outer shell.
Can I wear this jacket on its own?
Yes, this fleece jacket can be worn as a stand-alone outer layer in cool, dry weather. It provides comfortable warmth for everyday activities or light outdoor pursuits. For colder or wet conditions, it's best utilized as a mid-layer in a layering system.
What does 'Zip-in compatible' mean?
This feature allows you to securely zip the fleece jacket into certain compatible The North Face Triclimate outer shell jackets. This creates a versatile 3-in-1 system where the fleece acts as an insulating liner, offering adaptable protection for varying weather.
How should I wash this fleece jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Always check the care label inside the jacket for precise instructions.
Are the hand pockets zippered?
The jacket features two hand pockets for convenience. Info needed: The product description does not explicitly state if these pockets are zippered.
What material is this fleece made from?
This jacket is constructed from fleece material, which is known for its ability to provide lightweight warmth and breathability. Info needed: The specific type or weight of the fleece (e.g., 100-weight, polyester content) is not detailed in the product information.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm or appears flattened over time.
Ensure you are washing the jacket according to the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Also, make sure to dry completely on low heat without over-drying.
Jacket will not zip into my outer shell jacket.
Verify that your outer shell jacket is indeed a The North Face 'Zip-in compatible' Triclimate model. Check that both zippers are correctly aligned and are of a compatible type and size for integration. Sometimes, a slight adjustment to the shell's inner zipper can help.
Fleece is pilling or showing small balls of fiber.
Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially in areas of high friction. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can carefully remove them.
