Product Information
Full details
The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers looking for a lightweight, breathable mid-layer that provides reliable warmth. Crafted from premium microfleece, it balances thermal efficiency with comfort, though it is not designed to be waterproof on its own and should be paired with a shell in inclement weather.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability. While it provides warmth, you will need a windproof shell in high-wind conditions.
Can I machine wash this?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle.
What does Circular Design mean?
It means the product is designed with the end of its life in mind, allowing it to be easily disassembled and recycled.
Does it have pockets?
No, this specific model features a sleek, minimalist design without pockets to keep weight and bulk to a minimum.
How should this fit?
It is designed as a technical layer, so it should have a relatively close fit to effectively trap heat, though it remains relaxed enough for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for fabric caught in the reverse-coil teeth and ensure the area is clean of grit or debris.
Fleece losing its loft/warmth
Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt that mat the fibers, then tumble dry on a low-heat air cycle to restore loft.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver or lint comb to gently remove pills after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners that can coat the fibers and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the structural integrity of the microfleece. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Storage: Fold the garment to maintain the shape of the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs perfectly with standard outdoor base layers and fits comfortably beneath most standard-sized waterproof shells.
