FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, The North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing. For wet conditions, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell over it.
Can I wear this fleece in very cold winter conditions?
This fleece provides excellent warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold winter conditions, it's best worn as part of a layering system, with a base layer underneath and a heavier, insulated, or waterproof outer jacket on top.
What is the material composition of this fleece?
This fleece jacket is made from 100% Polyester, providing lightweight warmth, durability, and quick-drying properties.
How should I clean my fleece jacket?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Close all zippers. Use a mild detergent and do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Will this fleece pill over time?
High-quality polyester fleece, like The North Face 100 Glacier, is designed to resist pilling with proper care. Avoiding friction with rough surfaces and following washing instructions will help maintain its appearance.
Is this fleece breathable for active use?
Yes, fleece fabric is known for its excellent breathability, which helps to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature during physical activities, making it comfortable for active wear.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and completely avoiding fabric softeners, which can build up on fleece fibers. A second rinse cycle might help remove detergent residue.
Static cling is present.
Static cling is common with synthetic fabrics like polyester. Try using an anti-static spray or dryer sheets during drying (if machine drying). Ensuring the fleece is completely dry before removing it from the dryer can also help.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Rub a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth, or apply a small amount of zipper lubricant. Work the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fleece fibers, reducing breathability and wicking performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or ideally, lay flat or hang to air dry. High heat can damage the polyester fibers.
- Bleach/Iron: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as direct heat can melt or damage the fleece material.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing for extended periods if possible, to maintain loft.
