Product Information

Full details

The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for adults seeking versatile warmth without bulk for outdoor activities or everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in providing gentle insulation and excellent breathability through its unique microfleece construction. However, it functions best as a layering piece rather than a primary outer shell in harsh weather conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While it provides gentle warmth, the 100 Glacier Fleece is best suited for mild to cool conditions, or as a crucial mid-layer in a more comprehensive layering system for very cold weather. It is not designed as a standalone heavy winter coat.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in dry, calm conditions. However, for protection against wind or rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof and windproof shell over the fleece.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners and do not bleach or iron. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended.

Does it have pockets for storage?

Yes, this fleece features two zip-fastening pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials like keys, phone, or wallet.

What does 'microfleece' mean?

Microfleece refers to a lightweight, finely knitted fleece fabric. Its 'lofted design' means it has small air pockets that trap body heat, providing warmth while remaining highly breathable and less bulky than traditional fleece.

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Yes, the The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to reduced environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too warm or too cold during activity

Utilize the 1/4 zip feature to regulate your body temperature. Open it for increased ventilation when warm, or zip it up fully for more insulation when cold. Adjust your other layers as needed.

Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fiber on the surface)

Pilling can occur with fleece, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize this, wash according to care instructions (30 degrees, no fabric softener, air dry). You can gently remove existing pills with a fabric shaver or a lint roller.

Reduced warmth or loft after washing

Ensure you are avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce their ability to trap air. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat to help maintain the loft of the microfleece. Over-washing can also compress fibers; wash only when necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective warmth without excessive bulk
  • High breathability prevents overheating
  • Made from 100% recycled materials
  • Versatile for layering in various conditions
  • Comfortable fit with reduced chafing features
  • Secure storage with zippered pockets

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof as a standalone outer layer
  • Limited warmth for extreme cold temperatures on its own
  • May experience pilling over time with heavy use (common for fleece)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on the fleece like any other garment. The 1/4 zip allows for easy donning and doffing, as well as quick adjustments for comfort.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed to be highly compatible with various layering systems. It pairs perfectly with a technical base layer underneath and can be comfortably worn under waterproof or windproof jackets for enhanced protection in adverse weather. Its streamlined design, especially the absence of shoulder seams, reduces bulk and friction, making it ideal for wearing with backpacks or other outdoor gear.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the wicking properties and breathability of fleece.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry. High heat can damage fleece fibers and lead to pilling or shrinkage.
  4. Bleach/Ironing: Do not bleach or iron the garment, as this can severely damage the fabric.
