Product Information
Full details
The North Face Glacier Zip Through Fleece Gilet is designed for adults seeking a versatile, lightweight mid-layer that balances warmth with core mobility. Crafted from durable polyester fleece, it excels at providing thermal insulation without the bulk of a full-sleeved jacket, making it an ideal choice for hiking, layering, or casual everyday wear; however, users should note that the open-arm design provides less wind protection for the arms compared to full-sleeve alternatives.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, this is a fleece garment and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it is machine washable and can be tumble dried on low heat, though hang drying is recommended to extend the garment's life.
Does the XXXL size run large?
The North Face sizing is generally true to fit, but it is designed with enough room to comfortably wear a base layer underneath.
What is the primary material?
The garment is made from high-quality, durable polyester fleece.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The concealed handwarmer pockets are designed for general utility and standard-sized items; they include reverse coil zips for security.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean any debris or dirt from the zip track using a soft brush.
Pilling on fleece surface
Occasional pilling is common with polyester fleece; use a fabric shaver to safely remove fuzz and restore the appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-on garment, no complex setup is required. The XXXL fit is generous, intended for layering over base layers or light sweaters. To ensure the longevity of the polyester fabric and the integrity of the stretch bindings, machine wash the gilet in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance properties of the fleece. Always close the zippers before laundering to prevent snagging, and hang dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting to maintain the shape of the elasticated hem.
