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.
