FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent as a mid-layer. For very cold or harsh conditions, it should be combined with a base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer shell for optimal protection.

How does the Circular Design initiative work?

The Circular Design means the garment is made with recyclability in mind. Once you're finished with it, you can return it to The North Face to be recycled into raw materials for new products, closing the loop and reducing waste.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

Yes, it can be worn as a standalone piece in mild to cool conditions. However, it is not waterproof or windproof, so for adverse weather, layering is recommended.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The body fabric is 165 G/M², and the pocket lining is 90 G/M². This makes it a lightweight fleece that doesn't add unnecessary bulk.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to The North Face's general sizing chart for women's apparel. The 'Regular' fit type suggests it is designed for a standard fit, not too tight or too loose.

Is the embroidered logo durable?

The embroidered logo is a standard, durable application designed to withstand regular wear and washing according to care instructions.

What type of zipper is used?

It features a reverse-coil center front quarter zip with a cord pull for easy handling, and reverse-coil, concealed-zip hand pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is not overly saturated. For best moisture-wicking performance, it should be paired with breathable base layers. Check that the fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can impede wicking capabilities.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth if it remains stiff.

Fleece shows signs of pilling.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact with other rough materials in the wash. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended.

Loss of warmth or loft.

Ensure the fleece is washed according to care instructions. Avoid high heat drying or ironing, which can compress the fibers. Regular washing with mild detergent can help maintain its properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.
  • Effectively wicks away moisture to keep the wearer dry.
  • Designed with sustainability in mind through its recyclability.
  • Versatile for both outdoor activities and casual everyday wear.
  • The 1/4 zip allows for easy temperature adjustment.

Cons

  • May require specific washing instructions to preserve material integrity.
  • Fleece material can be prone to pilling over time with heavy use.
  • Not a waterproof layer; requires pairing with a shell for wet weather.
  • As a 1/4 zip, it offers less neck coverage than a full zip when fully closed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. This is a ready-to-wear garment.

Compatibility: Designed as an outer layer or mid-layer for adult females. It pairs well with base layers and waterproof/windproof outer shells. Suitable for hiking, trekking, and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold with similar colors.
  • Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed.
  • Tumble dry low.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Due to its recycled polyester composition, avoid high heat settings to maintain fabric integrity and the moisture-wicking properties.
