Designed for women who enjoy snow sports or winter mountain activities, the The North Face W Glacier Fleece Jacket is a lightweight, full-zip fleece jacket designed as a versatile midlayer. Made from 100% recycled polyester microfleece, it combines warmth, breathability, and stretch to support active sessions on the snow as well as breaks at the mountain hut. Its status as a classic layering piece makes it just as comfortable under a ski jacket as it is on its own during outings in mild temperatures.

A lightweight, warm fleece for days in the mountains

Weighing just 278 g, The North Face W Glacier Fleece Jacket provides real warmth without weighing down your gear. The microfleece fabric with a brushed interior effectively traps body heat while allowing sweat to escape, making it a mid-layer suitable for moderate to intense activity on the slopes or while snowshoeing. The fit is close enough to layer comfortably under an outer shell without adding unnecessary bulk.

Stretch and Freedom of Movement

The microfleece fabric’s inherent stretch is one of this fleece’s key advantages: it moves with you without restricting your shoulders or arms, whether you’re carving through turns or loading a backpack. Reinforced elastic cuffs, hem, and collar help keep the garment in place during wide movements, preventing it from riding up under a jacket. This combination of stretch and support directly contributes to all-day comfort while outdoors.

Features Designed for Practical Use

The W Glacier Fleece Jacket features several details that make it easy to use both in daily life and in the mountains:

• Full-length reverse zipper: allows you to put on and take off the fleece quickly, even while wearing gloves.
• Two zippered hand pockets: keep essential accessories secure while on the move.
• Reinforced elastic hems: keep the jacket securely in place on the body while moving.
• External hanging loop on the collar: makes it easy to store and carry in a locker room or mountain hut.

Environmental Responsibility and Circular Design

The entire fabric is made from post-consumer recycled polyester, reducing the use of virgin raw materials. The fleece also follows the Circular Design approach: it is designed to be easily disassembled and transformed into new gear at the end of its lifespan, making this garment part of an effort to reduce textile waste. This commitment does not compromise technical performance, as recycled polyester offers the same thermal and breathability properties as its standard counterpart.

Whether you wear it as a midlayer under a jacket on cold days or on its own during transitional seasons and less intense outings, the The North Face W Glacier Fleece Jacket adapts to a variety of conditions with remarkable ease of use. Its light weight, stretchiness, and sustainable manufacturing make it a great choice for female outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable fleece that’s easy to incorporate into a layering system.
