The North Face Glacier Fleece Jacket - Grey - XL

No, the Glacier Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to repel moisture and provide warmth, but for full protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

The jacket is made from fleece, which is typically a polyester material known for its warmth and moisture-wicking properties.

As a mid-layer, it provides good insulation. For very cold or windy conditions, it is recommended to layer it with an insulating or windproof outer shell for optimal warmth and protection.

Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning.

It means the garment is designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to minimize waste and pollution. The intention is for the product to be returned and recycled at the end of its useful life.

This specific product listing is for a men's jacket. The North Face offers similar fleece styles in women's specific fits.

The full-zip allows for easy on and off, and crucially, provides adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up for maximum warmth or unzip it to release heat during physical activity.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricate the teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary and try again.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce fleece's insulating properties. Tumble dry on low heat can sometimes help restore loft.

Pilling is a natural result of friction with fleece. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully trimming them with small scissors.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Reshape the garment while damp and air dry flat if possible.
