FAQs

Is The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability as an insulating layer. For waterproof protection, it should be worn in conjunction with a waterproof outer shell.

What is the fleece made of?

The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is made from 100% Recycled Polyester microfleece. This material provides featherlight warmth and excellent breathability.

Can I wear this fleece on its own?

Yes, you can wear this fleece on its own in mild to cool conditions for comfort and warmth. However, its primary design benefit is as a versatile mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system for outdoor activities.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the integrity of the microfleece.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, the fleece features two zip-fastening pockets, providing secure storage for small items like keys, a phone, or other essentials.

What does 'lofted construction' mean?

Lofted construction refers to the unique design of the fleece fabric where air pockets are created within the material. These air pockets effectively trap warmth close to your body, providing insulation without adding significant weight or hindering breathability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides excellent warmth, for very cold weather, this fleece is most effective as part of a layering system. It functions as an insulating mid-layer, which should be combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell for optimal performance in extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too warm or causes sweating during activity.

Utilize the 1/4 zip fastening to increase ventilation and allow body heat to escape. If still too warm, consider removing an outer layer or reducing activity intensity. The fleece is designed to be breathable, but optimal comfort often involves adjusting layers based on conditions.

Fleece seems to have lost its softness or warmth after washing.

Ensure you are washing the garment according to the care instructions: machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can build up on the fibers and reduce the fleece's loft and breathability. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat to prevent damage to the material.

Zipper on the 1/4 zip or pockets is snagging.

Gently manipulate the zipper slider to free any caught fabric. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage. Ensure that the fabric lining is clear of the zipper teeth before closing or opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides featherlight warmth without bulk
  • Excellent breathability prevents overheating
  • Versatile and ideal for layering in various conditions
  • Comfortable fit with elasticated cuffs and hem
  • Practical zip pockets for secure storage
  • Made from 100% Recycled Polyester, supporting sustainability

Cons

  • Not waterproof on its own; requires a shell for rain protection
  • Quarter zip offers less ventilation adjustment than a full-zip fleece
  • Specific care instructions (machine wash 30 degrees) must be followed for longevity

Setup

No complex setup is required for The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece. Simply wear it as desired, either directly over a base layer or as a standalone top in milder conditions.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed for optimal compatibility within a layering system. It works perfectly as an insulating mid-layer, seamlessly fitting under waterproof or windproof jackets and over thinner base layers. Its streamlined design, including no shoulder seams, prevents bulkiness and chafing, especially when worn with a backpack.

Care

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

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius (86°F).
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce breathability and loft.
  • Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers. Do not iron.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Proper care helps maintain the fleece's loft, softness, and insulating properties.
