Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Glacier Full-Zip Fleece requires no complex setup. Simply unpack and wear. For optimal fit, ensure the elastic bindings at the hem and cuffs sit comfortably without being too tight.
Compatibility
- Layering: Designed as a mid-layer, it pairs well with a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and a waterproof/windproof shell over the top for complete protection.
- Zip-In System: This fleece features a zip-in compatible loop along the back collar and zip-in compatible tape & snap on cuffs. This allows it to be zipped into compatible The North Face outer shells, providing an integrated, warmer jacket system. Check your outer shell for 'Triclimate' or 'zip-in compatible' features.
Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the fleece's warmth, softness, and anti-pilling properties.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Close all zippers before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog fleece fibers and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the polyester fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Pilling Prevention: Turning the fleece inside out before washing can help further prevent pilling over time.
