The North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece - White - XS

The '100 Glacier' in the name typically refers to the warmth rating or weight category of The North Face fleece, indicating it's a lightweight yet effective insulating layer suitable for a range of activities.

The 100 Glacier Fleece is an excellent insulating mid-layer. For very cold weather, it should be used as part of a comprehensive layering system, combined with a suitable base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

This feature allows you to seamlessly zip the fleece into compatible outer shell jackets from The North Face. This creates a versatile 3-in-1 system, offering combined warmth and weather protection in one garment.

To maintain the anti-pilling properties, follow the care instructions carefully: wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, avoid harsh detergents, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Excessive friction during washing or drying can contribute to pilling.

Yes, recycled polyester is known for its durability and retains the high-performance characteristics of virgin polyester, including strength, warmth, and resistance to stretching and shrinking.

It's ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, and casual wear in cool to mild conditions. Its lightweight and breathable nature makes it versatile for active use or everyday comfort.

Over time, fleece fibers can become compressed. Ensure proper washing and drying (low heat, no fabric softener) to restore loft and insulating properties. Avoid tightly compressing it for extended periods in storage.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the issue persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil or specialized zipper wax) can be applied to the teeth.

While anti-pilling, minor pilling can occasionally occur with heavy wear or friction. Use a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzing comb to gently remove the pills and restore the fleece's appearance.

This is often due to using too much detergent or hard water. Rerun the wash cycle without detergent, or add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help soften the fabric. Ensure you are not using fabric softener as it can have the opposite effect on fleece.
