Product Information

Full details

This guide helps adult users, particularly males, effectively utilize and care for The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece. Designed for versatile warmth and comfort, it excels as a mid-layer for outdoor activities or as a standalone piece. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth through soft microfleece made from 100% recycled polyester, offering a sustainable choice. A potential caveat is that while warm, it is not windproof and functions best as part of a layering system in very cold or windy conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece provides excellent warmth but is best utilized as a layering piece in very cold conditions. Pair it with a proper base layer and an insulated, windproof outer shell for optimal warmth in extreme temperatures.

How should I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C (30 degrees Celsius) on a gentle cycle, preferably inside out. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry to preserve the fabric's softness and integrity.

What does 'Regular Fit' mean for this fleece?

A 'Regular Fit' indicates a standard, comfortable cut that is neither too tight nor too loose. It allows for a good range of motion and makes it easy to layer over a t-shirt or base layer without feeling restrictive.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

Yes, the two zip-fastening pockets are generally spacious enough to securely hold most modern smartphones, keys, and other small essentials.

Is this fleece windproof or waterproof?

No, this fleece is made from microfibre polyester and is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a barrier against wind or water. For protection against the elements, you will need to wear a windproof or waterproof outer shell over the fleece.

What are the benefits of using 100% Recycled Polyester?

Using 100% Recycled Polyester helps reduce landfill waste by repurposing plastic bottles into new fabric. It maintains the durability, softness, and performance characteristics of virgin polyester while being a more environmentally conscious choice.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or has lost its fluffiness after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoiding fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on very low heat is crucial, as high heat can damage polyester fibers.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck occasionally.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, try rubbing a small amount of zipper lubricant, a bar of soap, or pencil graphite along the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Small pills or bobbles appear on the surface of the fleece.

Pilling is common with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a lint roller. Washing the garment inside out can help reduce pilling.

Fleece doesn't seem to keep me warm enough in cold conditions.

Remember this fleece is best as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over the fleece to maximize warmth and protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable and soft against the skin
  • Provides reliable warmth for various conditions
  • Made from 100% recycled materials, promoting sustainability
  • Versatile for layering or as a standalone top
  • Secure zippered pockets for essentials
  • Easy to care for with machine washable instructions

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an outer shell in windy conditions

  • Regular fit may not appeal to those preferring a more athletic or slim cut
  • Info needed: May not be suitable as a primary outer layer in extremely cold temperatures without additional insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no complex setup required for your The North Face 100 Glacier Quarter Zip Fleece. Simply unpack it and it's ready to wear. It is designed to be worn directly over a base layer or a light t-shirt.

Compatibility

This fleece is an ideal mid-layer and is highly compatible with a variety of outdoor and casual apparel:

  • Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking base layers for enhanced warmth and comfort during active pursuits.
  • Outer Shells: Easily fits under waterproof jackets, windbreakers, or insulated coats, providing an additional layer of warmth without bulk.
  • Casual Wear: Pairs well with jeans, hiking trousers, or shorts for everyday use.
  • Sizing: Designed with a `Regular` fit, it accommodates a standard body type and allows for layering underneath.

Care

Proper care will ensure your fleece maintains its softness, warmth, and appearance over time. Follow these instructions carefully:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius (30°C). Use a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to turn the fleece inside out before washing to protect the outer surface.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce its breathability and wicking properties.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach. Bleach can damage the polyester fibers and affect the color.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat or hang to dry. High heat can damage the polyester fibers, leading to pilling and reduced softness.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Following these care instructions will help preserve the `100% Recycled Polyester` material and extend the life of your fleece.
