Women's Fleece

The North Face offers a wide variety of fleece options for women, each designed for different levels of warmth, performance and style.  

Amongst pullover, full-zip, half-zip and quarter-zip women’s fleece styles, you’ll find a range of types, including:

• Polar Fleece: Often referred to as just "fleece," polar fleece is a synthetic fabric known for its excellent insulation properties. It's made from polyester fibers that are tightly woven together to create a dense and plush texture. This unique structure traps air, which in turn helps retain body heat, making it an ideal choice for lightweight yet warm outerwear or layering.  

• High-Pile Fleece: High-pile fleece is also known as Sherpa or fuzzy fleece. It is exceptionally soft and warm, but may also be slightly bulkier than other fleece types. This type of fleece is best for colder weather.  

• Performance Fleece: This is a unique category of fleece that is often made with polyester and spandex blends for stretch and moisture-wicking properties. As the name suggests, performance fleece apparel is designed for activities that require athletic performance, where breathability, temperature regulation and freedom of movement are key. 

• Microfleece: Microfleece is a thin, lightweight option that is highly breathable and can help wick moisture away from the body. It is ideal for layering or slightly chilly weather. It is also a popular packable outerwear choice. 

People choose fleece outerwear because it's warm yet lightweight, breathable, quick-drying and soft. A women’s fleece jacket is versatile enough to be worn as outerwear or get layered under a heavier coat or parka. While it’s perfect for outdoor adventures such as hiking and camping, fleece also provides casual comfort for everyday outfits.  

• Denali Collection: Our Denali fleece is an icon. Originally introduced in 1988, it has become a versatile classic for both outdoor exploration and everyday wear. Known for its durability, many pieces in the collection today are made with recycled materials, reflecting our focus on sustainability. 

   

• Osito Collection: Our Osito women’s fleece jackets are among our softest fleece outerwear. They are a midweight option perfect for casual wear in cooler weather. They’re a great choice for home or around town.  

   

• Canyonlands Collection: For performance-style fleece, look no further than our Canyonlands collection. With a smooth-feeling fabric, these women’s fleece jackets and hoodies are designed for active use and easy layering.  

   

• Shelbe Raschel Collection: Unlike our other fleece collections, our Shelbe Raschel jackets are fleece-lined, with a wind-resistant outer shell. They are perfect for transitional seasons (spring and fall) and are available in several styles, including a parka and a hoodie. 

   

• Glacier Collection: Our Glacier collection features microfleece, a lightweight option for layering or transitional weather. These women’s fleece jackets are made from 100% recycled polyester, making them a more sustainable choice.  

   

• Yumiori Collection: Yumiori is a midweight fleece with a higher pile. It is made from 100% recycled fleece and is part of our Circular Design initiative, meaning it can be recycled into new gear at the end of its life.
