Full details
This North Face 100 Glacier Full-Zip Fleece Jacket in Beige, Medium, is designed for adult males seeking a reliable insulating layer for cool weather. Its primary benefit is providing consistent warmth thanks to its soft microfibre fleece construction. A minor consideration is that it's an outerwear piece and may require layering for extreme cold.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece jacket?
Its primary purpose is to serve as an insulating mid-layer for warmth in cool to moderately cold weather conditions.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation and may offer some water resistance but will wet out in sustained rain.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
It can be worn in very cold weather as part of a layering system, typically over a base layer and under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
What does '100% recycled polyester' mean?
It means the fabric is made entirely from polyester fibers that have been reclaimed from post-consumer plastic bottles or other polyester waste, reducing environmental impact.
How should I clean the fleece to maintain its loft?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can damage the fibers and reduce softness.
Does it have adjustable features?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners. If already used, try rinsing the garment again with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help restore softness. Ensure you are tumble drying on a low setting or air drying.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the jacket less frequently and inside out. Use a fabric shaver gently on affected areas if necessary.
