FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Glacier Full-Zip Fleece is designed for breathability and warmth, not as a windproof barrier. It is best paired with a wind-resistant shell.
Can I wear this in the rain?
It is not waterproof. If you plan to be in wet conditions, we recommend wearing it under a waterproof, breathable shell jacket.
How should I choose my size?
This garment features a regular fit. If you prefer a tighter, more athletic fit for layering, you may want to stick to your standard size or try one size down.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please follow the care label for specific temperature settings and avoid using fabric softeners.
Does this jacket have inner pockets?
The jacket features concealed external zip pockets; it does not typically feature internal stash pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the track is free of debris; applying a small amount of graphite or candle wax can help lubricate the teeth.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
Use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove pills; avoid pulling them by hand as this can damage the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your fleece, follow the care instructions on the interior garment tag. Generally, you should machine wash in cold water with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and diminish the fleece's moisture-wicking capabilities. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the stretch bindings. For compatibility, ensure your outer shell jacket is marked as part of the North Face zip-in collection to ensure the zippers align correctly. Store the garment on a hanger in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the collar and cuffs.
