The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece - Grey

This fleece is ideal for cool to mild weather as a standalone outer layer, or as a warm, breathable mid-layer in colder conditions when paired with a waterproof or windproof outer shell.

The 1/4 zip is highly functional. It allows you to easily regulate your body temperature by zipping it up for warmth or opening it for ventilation when you're active or the temperature rises.

Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach to maintain the fabric's properties.

No, as a microfleece garment, it is not water-resistant. While it provides warmth when wet, it is best paired with a waterproof outer shell in rainy or snowy conditions to keep you dry.

It means the fleece is made from polyester fibers derived from recycled plastic waste, reducing environmental impact. This doesn't compromise its performance, durability, or softness.

The product description does not specify any pockets for this particular model. If you require pockets, please verify product details for models that feature them.

While highly breathable, for very high-intensity activities, you might prefer a lighter, more moisture-wicking technical fabric as a base layer. This fleece is better suited for moderate activity levels where warmth and breathability are key, or as a warm-up/cool-down layer.

Utilize the 1/4 zip closure to regulate your temperature. Open it for increased ventilation when warm, or zip it fully for more warmth when cool. Consider adjusting other layers you are wearing.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time, especially in areas of high friction. To minimize this, wash the garment inside out and air dry. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

Ensure you are washing the fleece promptly after use. For persistent odors, consider using a specialized sports detergent designed to remove sweat and bacteria from synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storage.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat and flatten fleece fibers. Always air dry or tumble dry on very low heat to help maintain the loft of the microfleece. Over-washing at high temperatures can also affect softness.
