FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece?

The primary purpose is to provide lightweight warmth and moisture-wicking capabilities for outdoor activities like hiking, as well as for casual everyday wear.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to be moisture-wicking and warm, but for protection against rain and heavy wind, it should be layered with a waterproof and windproof shell.

How does the Circular Design initiative affect the product?

The Circular Design initiative means the fleece is made with sustainability in mind, designed to be disassembled and recycled by The North Face at the end of its life, turning it into raw materials for new products.

What type of material is it made from?

The fleece is constructed from 100% recycled polyester.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, additional insulation layers will be necessary.

How do I clean the fleece?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

What does the '1/4 Zip' mean?

It refers to the zipper at the neck, which extends about a quarter of the way down the front of the garment. This allows for easy on-and-off and adjustable ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is properly washed and dried according to care instructions. For extreme exertion, consider a more advanced base layer or an additional wicking layer underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fleece pilling after several washes.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. You can use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Color fading.

Wash with like colors in cold water and avoid direct sunlight during drying. Use a mild detergent.
