Product Information

Full details

This guide is for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly women seeking a versatile fleece for hiking and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth and moisture management without bulk. A caveat is that while it offers some water resistance, it's not a waterproof outer layer. The North Face Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is constructed from 100% recycled polyester, offering a lightweight yet warm layer with a convenient quarter-zip for temperature regulation. Key features include moisture-wicking properties, reinforced binding for durability, and a design that minimizes waste through its circular initiative.

FAQs

What is the primary use case for this fleece?

The fleece is designed as a versatile mid-layer for hiking and outdoor activities, providing warmth and moisture management. It's also suitable for casual everyday wear.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the fleece is not waterproof. It offers warmth and moisture-wicking properties but should be paired with a waterproof outer shell for protection against rain and wet conditions.

How does the Circular Design initiative work?

The Circular Design initiative means the fleece is designed to be easily disassembled and recycled by The North Face at the end of its life. This allows the raw materials to be used in creating new products, minimizing waste.

What is the gram weight of the fleece?

The fleece has a body weight of 165 G/M² and the pocket lining is 90 G/M².

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

As a mid-layer, it provides good warmth, but for very cold conditions, you will likely need to layer it over a warmer base layer and wear an insulated or windproof outer shell.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

The fleece fits true to size with a regular fit and regular length. We recommend ordering your usual size. You can refer to standard sizing charts for specific measurements if needed.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, this fleece model is available in various color families, including Pink and Purple, across a range of sizes from XS to 2XL.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels damp or clammy.

This can indicate that the moisture-wicking is working by drawing sweat to the surface. Ensure you are not overheating. If the issue persists, check that the garment is clean and free of residues that might hinder wicking. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Fleece loses its loft or warmth.

This can occur with excessive washing or heat. Always follow the recommended care instructions, especially avoiding high heat drying or ironing. If the material appears damaged, it may be time to consider recycling the garment through the Circular Design program.
