FAQs

What material is this fleece made from?

The North Face 100 Glacier Cropped Quarter Zip Fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, offering a sustainable choice.

How should I wash this fleece?

Always check the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, it's recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain fabric quality and prevent damage.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece provides lightweight warmth and is ideal for cool conditions, transitional weather, or as a layering piece. It is not designed for extreme cold weather protection on its own.

What is the fit of the cropped design?

The fleece features a modern cropped design, intended to end around the waistline, and dropped shoulders for a relaxed and comfortable fit. It pairs well with high-waisted bottoms.

Does this product contribute to sustainability?

Yes, this fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, reflecting The North Face's commitment to using more sustainable materials and reducing environmental impact.

Can I wear this for hiking or active sports?

While comfortable for light activities, this fleece is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday outings. For strenuous hikes or high-intensity sports, you might find performance-specific technical layers more suitable for moisture-wicking and durability.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can sometimes reduce fleece's breathability and softness. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat can help maintain the fabric's original texture.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move

Gently rub a graphite pencil lead (from a regular pencil) along the teeth of the zipper. This can act as a lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause permanent damage. If the issue persists, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Product feels too tight or too loose

This fleece is designed with dropped shoulders for a relaxed fit, but sizing can vary. Always consult The North Face's size chart before purchasing. If the fit is not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size or styling it differently (e.g., more fitted with a thin top underneath, or looser over a thicker base layer).

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup There is no complex setup required for this fleece. Simply put it on as an outer layer or a mid-layer over your preferred base top. Ensure the quarter-zip is adjusted to your comfort level. ### Compatibility This fleece is highly compatible with a range of casual wear. It layers well over t-shirts, tank tops, or light long-sleeve tops. Its cropped design makes it an excellent match for high-waisted trousers, jeans, leggings, and skirts. For cooler days, it can be worn under a light jacket or vest for added warmth, making it a versatile layering piece. ### Care To ensure the longevity and quality of your The North Face 100 Glacier Cropped Quarter Zip Fleece, always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label. Generally, fleece garments benefit from gentle washing. We recommend washing in cold water on a delicate cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric fibers and reduce softness. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to air dry to prevent shrinking and maintain the fleece's soft texture. Do not iron or dry clean.
