Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glacier Zip Through Fleece is designed for adult men seeking a reliable, versatile mid-layer for everyday wear or light outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the combination of thermal warmth and ease of layering, provided by its functional funnel neck and full-length zip; however, users should note that as a lightweight polyester fleece, it is best utilized as a layering piece rather than a heavy-duty standalone outer shell in extreme weather.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, it is made of polyester fleece designed for warmth and breathability, and it does not feature a dedicated windproof membrane.
Can I wear this as a winter coat?
It serves best as a mid-layer. For freezing winter temperatures, it is recommended to wear it underneath a heavier insulated or shell jacket.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a funnel neck design rather than a hood.
How should I store it during the off-season?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally on a hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is not waterproof; however, polyester naturally resists moisture better than cotton and dries relatively quickly.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and hang dry for the best longevity.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to operate
Ensure no loose fabric is caught in the teeth and clean the zip track with a soft brush to remove debris.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Use a fabric shaver or lint remover gently to remove surface fuzz, and ensure you are washing the garment inside out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your fleece remains in top condition, follow standard care protocols: machine wash in cold water with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the fibers over time. Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and prevent unnecessary wear. This fleece is highly compatible with other The North Face outerwear, fitting seamlessly under most standard-fit jackets, but it can also be worn as a standalone piece in mild indoor or outdoor settings.
