FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece provides excellent warmth for its weight. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system, combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell.

Is the fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain or snow, you will need to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

What is the material composition of the fleece?

The fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to its soft feel and thermal properties while promoting environmental sustainability.

Does this fleece have a hood?

No, the North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece features a quarter-length zip to the collar but does not include a hood.

How many pockets does it have?

The fleece is equipped with two zip-fastening pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.

Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity activities?

While it offers good breathability, for very high-intensity activities, you might prefer a fleece with more advanced moisture-wicking properties. However, the quarter-zip allows for good ventilation, making it suitable for moderate activity levels.

How do I ensure the fleece retains its softness after washing?

To maintain softness, wash the fleece at 30 degrees Celsius, avoid using fabric softeners, and either air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees Celsius and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat fibers and reduce loft. Air drying or low tumble drying helps maintain texture.

Zipper snags or gets stuck.

Gently pull the fabric taut around the zipper area. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if issues persist.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out with similar fabrics. If pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver or lint brush to gently remove them.
