FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Glacier 100 fleece provides moderate warmth and is best suited for cool to mild conditions or as a layering piece under a more substantial jacket for colder weather.
How do I know if the XXL size will fit?
This fleece is designed for a regular fit. For precise measurements, please refer to The North Face's official sizing chart, typically available on their website.
Can I wear this fleece for active sports?
While comfortable for light activities, this fleece is primarily designed for casual wear and moderate warmth. For intense sports, consider garments with enhanced breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
What does '100' in 'Glacier 100' signify?
The '100' often refers to the weight or thickness of the fleece, indicating it's a lighter-weight option within The North Face's fleece collection.
How durable is the polyester fleece material?
Polyester fleece is generally durable and resistant to shrinking and stretching. Proper care, as outlined in the instructions, will help maintain its quality and softness.
Are the side pockets insulated?
The product description does not specify insulated pockets. They are standard side pockets designed for convenience and hand warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can degrade fleece fibers over time. Tumble dry on a low setting to help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a bit of wax can help lubricate the teeth.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid excessive friction during washing and drying.
