The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece - Black - XXL

Microfibre fleece is a synthetic fabric made from very fine polyester fibers. This construction creates a soft, plush material that is excellent at trapping air, providing good insulation and warmth while remaining lightweight and breathable. It's also typically quick-drying.

The 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece provides good warmth as a mid-layer or for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as part of a comprehensive layering system, with a thermal base layer underneath and a waterproof/windproof outer shell on top for maximum protection.

This fleece is made from 100% polyester but is not designed to be waterproof or wind-resistant. It will absorb water in the rain and strong winds will penetrate it. For wet or windy conditions, it should be worn as an insulating layer under a suitable waterproof and windproof jacket.

This can happen over time due to dirt and compressed fibers. Ensure you wash it according to the care instructions (machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius). Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce fleece's wicking ability and loft. Air dry to maintain the fiber's loft and insulation.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) to the teeth, then work the zipper up and down a few times.

Pilling is common with fleece over time, especially in areas of high friction. Use a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzer to carefully remove the pills. Washing the garment inside out and avoiding abrasive surfaces during wear can help reduce future pilling.
