Full details

The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, comfortable, and warm mid-layer. Ideal for various activities from casual wear to trekking, its key strength lies in its effective layering capability and warmth provided by recycled polyester fleece.

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection against rain, it should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.

What kind of activities is this fleece suitable for?

This fleece is highly versatile and suitable for a range of activities including trekking, hiking, camping, casual everyday wear, and as a comfortable layer for outdoor sports in cool conditions. Its quarter zip allows for adaptable ventilation during different activity levels.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

Does this fleece have pockets?

Yes, it features two zip-fastening pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials like keys, phone, or wallet.

What is 'mechanical stretch binding'?

Mechanical stretch binding refers to a type of fabric edge finish at the collar, cuffs, and hem that provides inherent stretch without the addition of elastic fibers. This enhances durability and helps the garment maintain its shape and fit over time, particularly in areas of high wear.

Is this fleece environmentally friendly?

Yes, this fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, which helps reduce waste and conserves resources compared to using virgin polyester.

What does 'standard fit' mean for this fleece?

A standard fit means the garment is designed to be comfortable and allow for a full range of motion without being too tight or too loose. It's ideal for layering, as it provides enough room for a base layer underneath while still fitting comfortably under an outer jacket.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

This can happen if fabric softener is used, which coats the fibers. Re-wash the fleece without fabric softener and ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried. For future washes, avoid using fabric softener.

Fleece is pilling excessively.

Pilling is common with fleece. To reduce it, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing it with rough items like denim. You can use a fabric shaver or a dedicated lint remover to gently remove existing pills.

Quarter zip feels stiff or catches.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down, ensuring it's clean. If the issue persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) can be applied to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use

Your The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece is ready to wear straight out of the package. We recommend washing it before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues and soften the fabric further.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed as a highly versatile layering piece:

  • Base Layers: Wear over a moisture-wicking base layer for optimal thermal regulation during active pursuits.
  • Outer Layers: It pairs perfectly under a waterproof or windproof shell jacket for enhanced protection in adverse weather conditions. The standard fit allows for comfortable layering without restricting movement.
  • Casual Wear: Excellent as a standalone outer layer in cool, dry conditions for everyday use.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties.
  • Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Pilling: To minimize pilling, wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or towels.

Always refer to the care instructions on the product label for the most accurate and specific guidance.
