The North Face Glacier Fleece Jacket - Grey - XXL

No, the Glacier Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to be water-repellent, meaning it can shed light moisture, but it is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell for full protection in wet conditions.

The Circular Design initiative by The North Face aims to create products that are designed to be durable, repairable, and eventually recyclable, thereby reducing waste and pollution and keeping materials in use.

This fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially add a warmer outer jacket or insulating layer.

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can hinder moisture-wicking capabilities.

Refer to The North Face's general sizing chart for men's apparel. This specific item is in XXL.

The jacket is made from fleece material, which is designed for warmth and comfort.

Ensure the fleece is clean. Accumulated dirt and oils can reduce insulation. Check that it's not compressed under other layers too tightly, which can impede loft.

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the fibers. Ensure you are using a suitable base layer underneath that also wicks moisture.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully try to free it. You can lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it persists.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece, especially after repeated washing and wear. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Minimize friction against rough surfaces when wearing.
