Product Information
Full details
The North Face 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece is a versatile, lightweight insulating layer designed for adult women who need dependable warmth for outdoor activities or casual everyday wear. Crafted from soft, brushed microfibre fleece, it provides excellent thermal regulation, though its lightweight nature means it is best used as a mid-layer rather than a heavy-duty outer shell in extreme weather conditions. This garment stands out for its anti-pilling construction, secure fit through elastic binding, and iconic minimalist aesthetic, making it an essential staple for any layering system.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
The 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip is breathable and provides insulation but is not fully windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windproof shell in windy conditions.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the garment.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling treatment prevents the fibers from tangling and forming small balls of fabric on the surface, keeping the garment looking smooth after repeated washes.
Is this fleece suitable for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, its moisture-wicking properties and ability to vent through the 1/4 zip make it suitable for aerobic activities like hiking or light jogging.
How should this fit?
It is designed for a standard fit meant for layering. If you prefer a loose or oversized look, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or fuzz accumulating on the surface
While the fabric is anti-pilling, friction over time can cause minor lint; use a gentle fabric shaver or lint roller to restore the surface appearance.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip path. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Loss of heat retention over time
This may occur if the fleece fibers are matted from improper washing; avoid heavy fabric softeners and use a gentle brush to fluff the fibers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely soft and comfortable brushed texture
- Anti-pilling fabric finish ensures durability and aesthetic longevity
- Adjustable hem and cuffs help prevent heat loss
- Lightweight and breathable for active use
- Versatile design suitable for outdoor adventure or casual layering
Cons
- Not intended as a standalone outer shell for heavy wind or rain
- Microfleece may not provide as much warmth as heavier high-loft fleece options
- Requires careful laundering to maintain the integrity of the brushed surface
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your 100 Glacier Fleece in peak condition, machine wash it in cold water with similar colors and use a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties and compromise the brushed finish. It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the anti-pilling fabric integrity. When layering, this fleece is most compatible with breathable base layers and windproof or waterproof outer shells. Because it features a minimalist design, it pairs easily with various types of outdoor trousers or casual denim.
