FAQs

What material is The North Face Glacier Heavyweight Full-Zip Fleece Jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, providing optimal thermal insulation.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this fleece jacket is designed for optimal thermal insulation and wind protection, not waterproofing. For wet conditions, it's recommended to layer it with a waterproof outer shell.

How should I wash this jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. For best results, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, it features practical zipped pockets, designed for secure storage of your valuables.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The 'heavyweight' design offers optimal thermal insulation for cool to cold weather. For extreme cold, it is best utilized as a warm mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system.

Can this jacket be worn for active sports?

Yes, its sporty design and thermal properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities and sports. Its full-length zip allows for easy ventilation during active use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold conditions.

This fleece provides optimal thermal insulation but is best used as part of a layering system in very cold or windy conditions. Add a base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell over the fleece for enhanced warmth and protection.

Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even rubbing a graphite pencil lead along the teeth can help.

Fabric appears to be pilling after washing.

To minimize pilling, always wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim. Air dry if possible, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting.

Pockets are not zipping smoothly.

Check if any small debris or fabric is obstructing the zipper path. Clear any obstructions carefully. If the issue persists, the same zipper lubrication method as the main zip can be applied.
