Product Information

Full details

The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece is an essential layering piece for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults seeking a reliable balance of warmth and breathability. Crafted from soft, recycled polyester microfleece, it excels as a mid-layer during hiking or as a cozy staple for daily wear; however, its lightweight construction means it is not designed to serve as a standalone heavy-duty barrier against extreme cold or high-velocity winds.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, it is designed for breathability. It is recommended to pair it with a windproof or waterproof outer shell in gusty conditions.

Can this be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it is suitable as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, but it offers limited protection against rain and wind.

Does the shoulder design help with backpacks?

Absolutely. The seam-free shoulder construction is specifically engineered to reduce rubbing and pressure points while wearing a pack.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, this product is part of The North Face Circular Design initiative, utilizing recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.

How should I wash it?

Wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and air dry whenever possible.

Are the pockets large enough for a phone?

The pockets are designed for small essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones will fit securely, but very large devices might be a tight fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric starts to pill after heavy use

Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills and avoid washing with rougher garments like denim or those with Velcro.

Static buildup in dry conditions

Avoid over-drying in a machine; air drying is the best way to prevent static accumulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and breathable properties
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled materials
  • Seam-free shoulder construction increases comfort under gear
  • Versatile layering piece for multiple seasons
  • Lightweight and packable for travel or hiking

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an additional shell in extreme conditions
  • Limited to a quarter-zip rather than a full-zip closure
  • Lightweight fleece may show wear faster than heavy-duty materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a technical layering garment, proper care is essential to maintain the moisture-wicking properties of the microfleece. Always machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce breathability. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the elasticized cuffs and hem. For compatibility, this piece pairs seamlessly with standard hardshell jackets or windbreakers, fitting closely to the body without being overly restrictive. When choosing your size, remember that the XL fit is designed to accommodate base layers underneath.
