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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
