Women's Fleece

We offer a wide variety of fleece options for women at The North Face, each designed for different levels of warmth, performance, and style.  In addition to the type of fleece outerwear (pullover, full zip, half zip, and quarter zip fleece), you'll find different options in fleece material including the following:

• 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 fleece or fuzzy fleece.  It is easily spotted for its fluffy, plush look and feel that resembles sheepskin or wool.  It is exceptionally soft and warm but because of this may also be slightly bulkier than other fleece types.  It is best for colder weather.

   

• Performance Fleece:  This is a unique category of fleece that is often made with polyester and spandex blends for increased stretching 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 and quick-drying, and soft.  It is also versatile enough to be worn as outerwear or layered under a heavier coat or parka.  It is perfect for outdoor adventures such as hiking and camping, and 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.

   

• Campshire Collection:  The North Face Campshire collection is known for being cozy with a relaxed fit.  It is a higher pile fleece than our other collections.
   
• Osito Collection:  Our Osito jackets are among our softest fleece outerwear.  They are a midweight option perfect for casual wear in cooler weather.  It is a great choice for around home or town.
   

• Canyonlands Collection:  For performance style fleece, look no further than our Canyonlands collection.  The jackets and hoodies are designed for active use and easy layering with a smooth feeling fabric.
