You could spend a little more on a couple of cheap fleece pullovers and jackets in various thicknesses and be done for ten months, or you could buy this versatile and long-lasting TKA 100 1/4 Zip Glacier Jacket from The North Face. Unlike bargain discount fleece, The North Face TKA 100 1/4 Zip Glacier Jacket has a special fabric design that resists pilling and fading without falling apart--no matter how many times you wash it. Granted, it won't hold up to a decade of rolling around on granite boulders, but when you consider that the cheap stuff often frays and pills under a waterproof shell, well there isn't much of a comparison. This is a great summer piece for evening camping and it also layers well beneath an insulated performance shell throughout the skiing and climbing season.
The TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Shirt by The North Face might be one of the most coveted pullovers you own this winter and fall. Made with TKA, a high performance microfiber fleece, that has a silky finish and a very warm, comfy feel next to the skin. A great addition to your layering system in the cold months not just because it is super warm, but it lays flat and doesn't give you the bulk that other fleeces can add, making it difficult to move around.
Easy to take care of, weighs almost nothing, and incredibly soft. Also, when wearing it during high aerobic activities, you can pull the zipper down deep and get a good air flow - keeping you from sweating too much in the winter which in extreme cases can lead to hypothermia.
Around town, in between activities, and anything else you can cram in, pull on the versatile TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip from The North Face; it's lightweight - so it won't slow you, and soft enough to wear daily. This all-around, easy-to-maintain fleece pullover is thermally efficient, incredibly soft and the durable polyester fleece resists pilling and fading while maintaining shape.

Very nice | |
| Rating: | |
| First of all I would not call this garment a “jacket”; it’s a pullover or a shirt. This shirt is very comfortable, practical, feels like butter against the skin (better than cashmere) and, if that isn’t enough, looks good. One of my luckiest purchases on line, ‘cause, as anybody is aware, what looks okay on a monitor not necessarily is good enough in reality on your particular body. I’m 5’10”, 150 lb and a medium size fits just right. If you have pets (I’ve got a cat and a dog), this shirt is way better than polartec in resisting hair pick up. It’s not wind resistant, but quite warm – good for mild spring/fall weather and as a base layer in the cold days of winter. I haven’t washed it yet, so I can’t testify about its washing machine durability, but it seems well made and sturdy. | |

Gift for my boyfriend | |
| Rating: | |
| My boyfriend absolutely loves these pull over fleeces. I had previously bought him two of these jackets. Since he is going away to college, I went online to buy him another. Altrec had the best deals. They said it wasn't going to ship until July 10 but we had the jacket within 3 days. He loves this jacket because he doesn't like zippers. It's light and versatile, but he even layers them in winter. The brown, black and deep water blue are amazing. This jacket does not disappoint. They are one of the few things he makes sure not to lose, because he wears them so often. By far Altrec had the best selection, shipped fast, and had the lowest price. I definitely recommend this jacket. | |

"Very nice fleece" | |
| Rating: | |
| I purchased the soil brown and I like it because the NF emblem is the same color as the fabric. I'm not a huge fan of labels on clothes. Anyway, I love the feel of this fleece. It is so comfortable and warm down to the upper 50's with a t-shirt underneath (for me). I machine wash and hang dry. Hopefully it will take longer for it to pile. Not sure if they do. Just a precaution. They're not cheap so you may as well make it last as long as you can. I will be buying more of these. Nothing looks worse than a pile of fleece. | |

"Awesome fleece sweater..." | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this for my son to add to the two he already has. They look great, wear well, never pill, are stretchy and comfortable, soft, and warm... what more can I say? Perfect for wearing over a tee shirt. They are easy care and great for him to take to college. He likes them for travel too because they pack well without wrinkling and are light weight and great for layering. The New Taupe Green color rocks... he's 6'1" 145# and the medium fits him perfect. | |

Best Fleece Ever | |
| Rating: | |
| As computer and network consultant my job takes me from behind a warm desk to snowy rooftops. I swear by these fleeces as a warm and comfortable mid-layer i can wear day after day and rely on to keep me warm, dry and comfortable, inside and outside. I never feel restricted or bound by this fleece, as i have with others. The best part? They are so affordable, you can get a different color for every day of the week! | |

The perfect fleece | |
| Rating: | |
| I have two -- one in port, one in black. I want to wear this every day, it's that comfortable. Never seems to get too hot or cold. Just right, incredibly soft. Excellent cut/fit. I am 6'2 215 with long arms, and XXL fits beautifully. I have sweaters and other fleeces and somehow are not quite as good. Somedays I will pull this out of the hamper to wear instead of switching to my REI or other fleeces. | |

"Incredibly soft!!" | |
| Rating: | |
| I own three of these and and in love with every one of them! They are incredibly soft even after many washings. I am so protective of them I do not let the dryer beat them up, so I air dry them. And they are still soft after that!! I would recommend these to anyone who likes comfort and warmth and the ability to layer if you choose to do so. | |

Great All Purpose Fleece | |
| Rating: | |
| These fleece's are the best. They're lightweight, breathable, and warm. They wash up easily and dry out quickly and still look good after years of use. I have 4 different colors and live in them all winter long. If the wind whips up you better cover up, because they're very breathable...which means they're also not windproof. But at least you can zip up the neck for protection from the cold. | |

Fine product! | |
| Rating: | |
| I purchased this jacket for fall season. It has been working perfect in the sense that it is very comfortable, light, and warm. The texture is easy to skin, which is essential when it is used for hours. Advertisement is accurate in color and size. If you are looking for a light jacket before you put Denali on, go ahead and get it! | |

Great Fleece! | |
| Rating: | |
| I wear the Glacier Fleece often for lightweight warmth. I wear it at home, when hiking, when cross-country skiing, whenever I want a little more warmth than a long-sleeve T-shirt. It's very comfortable, and seems more wind-resistant than other fleece I've owned. The medium size fits me well, and I'm 5'10" and 150#. I like it enough that I own two. | |

TNF TKA Glacier Half-Zip | |
| Rating: |  |
| The TKA Half Zip is a venerable light layering piece and has been a core item for TNF for years even after the VF monopoly. Used for layering or next to skin. The color I ordered was described as 'Rubix Red' and should have been called 'buttery pumpkin roll' as it is easily more orange than any shade of red. A bit narrow through the shoulders for a big guy who wears a 45 coat size. Order up. | |
