The North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's
The North Face Women's TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Pullover is a soft microfleece pullover perfect for layering or just bumming around on a crisp fall day. The North Face's TKA microfleece is extremely lightweight. It resists pilling and fading, and keeps its shape so it will keep you comfortable for years to come. The TKA 100 is quick-drying and has a relaxed fit so you can really kick back or kick it up a notch.
Bottom Line: Keep on top of your game with the help of The North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Pullover.
I typically wear size 10-12, depending on make. I got the TKA 100 in large based on other reviews. Above the waist fits great, below is quite snug for this 5'5", 155lb. gal. I would wear this over a tank or jogbra for skiing as there's not much more room for anything much thicker. Otherwise, warm, comfortable and figure-flattering for those with a figure!
The wife loves her TNF fleece. She wears it out, on the trail, working out, and around the house. The wind can cut through it, but a light shell fixes it right up. It's retained its shape and doesn't show any signs of wear after dozens of washes. The wife loves it because she has a long torso and this fits her great. One caveat: she has the white, and other colors can bleed onto it quite easy, so be careful. Overall, a great layering piece.
I have this in black, and I wear it all the time in winter as a base layer. It is form fitting, but not too tight. It is also super soft! I am 5'5" and about 112, and I wear a small and it fits perfectly, even with my longer arms. It is also very light weight, and it is great for backpacking during the early spring.
It definitely runs a bit small/tight. I am 5'3", 125 lbs, and a medium fit perfectly, with just a little bit of breathing room. The feel is extremely soft. It will work great as a layer for outdoor wear or even by itself with a tank underneath. I now wish I had bought more than one in different colors when they were on sale. Great product!
I bought 9 of these as christmas gifts. When everyone opened they all laughed like I had no imagination. 2 weeks later everyone came back with "best gift i received this year" Reviews were: comfortable, warm, washes great, looks casual yet not grungy, and I wear it once a week.
This fleece is awesome! It is a great fit and very flattering for a woman, no boxy fleece look! I layered this with TNF long-underwear coolmax top underneath and was toasty warm--down to the low 20s without a jacket! I bought the burnt red color and then after having it for three days, got online and ordered another! Well worth the money and another great product by TNF!
Two questions... The first is, is the logo on the black one black or white. On the North Face website it's white but on others its black. Also, I've read that it's a snug fit. I have the Fuji Peak Full zip in a medium and I wore a long john shirt and a polo under it and still had some room. Should I order a medium in this?
I love this pullover and had to buy a second one. I bought one last year and found myself wearing it as a second layer all Fall and Spring. During the Winter it can be used as one of several layers and during the Summer it's fantastic for that slight chill at night. For traveling it's perfect; it's light to pack, easy to layer and great for hiking or walking casually around the city. It's comfortable and true to size. It also looks great. I definitely recommend it.
I bought this fleece in black a year ago for a trip to San Francisco in early December. I ended up wearing it nearly every day over my fitted t-shirts while I was out there. It was the perfect light, layering piece. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a jacket. If you are looking for more of a fleece jacket, go with the Denali. One year later, I am still getting a ton of use out of this fleece. It holds up so much better than the cheap-o fleeces from Old Navy. The black Old Navy fleece I bought at the same time is already pilling and ratty looking- headed for the garbage. But my NF Glacier fleece looks like new, after much more wear! I'm already looking for new colors to add to my wardrobe. Also going to buy one for my brother's bday.
I am very pleased with this fleece. Its exactly as fleecy as you want it, not too thick, but not skimpy either. Couple that with slightly fitted lines and a sturdy zipper and its the perfect layering piece. I am 5'6 36" 27" 36" and the small fits just right, if not a little baggy around the waist. NF runs a bit on the large side compared to Marmot or Patagonia, but I am always a small in NF, where I might be a medium in others.
I ordered this to be fitted, but not constricting, I am normally a small and I ordered a medium - it is very snug - uncomfortably so and is not as long as I would like for wearing with low rise jeans and such. I might order the size up.
Glad I bought it. Used it in low 20's w/just a base layer and it was fantastic. Take note that if you are a medium---order a large!!! This item does run a size smaller...
If it's possible to be addicted to a fleece, I am! I have three of these in different colors & my hubby is also up to three of the men's version. They are light enough to layer with or wear on their own and the best part is that they don't pill up like cheap fleece will. It's worth it to pay a little more for the quality - my oldest one still looks great, almost new! I do wish they were just a bit longer but I am fairly tall.
I love this fleece! I'm a pretty style-conscious girl and this is the only "sweatshirt" that I would ever wear! The fit is flattering and the colors are great and it washes up perfectly! Love, Love, Love it!
This fleece is wonderful. Just as you want it: 1/2 Zip, comfortable and not too tight, soft but sturdy material, just what i want to put on a cold winter evening under my jacket. I am 5'6, 36" 28" 36" and the small is perfect, if not a little loose in the waist. NF runs just a tad large, so order your size and expect a little room to wiggle.
Wear this fleece over a Cold Gear baselayer, add a shell, and you're ready for any weather conditions. I use mine every time I go snowboarding because it's thin, not too bulky, yet nice and warm. Great price, too!
I purchased a couple of these as light packing alternatives to bulky sweatshirts. They took up hardly any space in the suitcase and arrived virtually unwrinkled. I wore them with a pair of starched jeans and pulled off a nice, casual look. I ordered the Large and had a comfortable, non-clingy fit that was not sloppy looking.
I bought this as a gift for my wife. She is petite, but the size small fit a little bit more loose and gave room for layering or a sweater. It is really light weight, but a good midpoint between light and warm. And it is really soft.
I think that is each manufacturers attempt to corner the market in their own little way. I can vouch for the sizing charts on each product. They're usually fairly painless and seem to be right on.....usually.Hope that helps.
Got the 1/4 zip for my wife for her bday as she was asking for a "fleece" - this was NOT a fleece...more like a thick shirt really. I was surprised at how "thin" the material was; maybe it does a great job with warmth, but it just didnt seem to be what I was after.
Great fleece, lightweight but keeps you warm with soft material. Did I mention that this site rocks? Awesome service this is the best place to get The North Face gear!
i love this good-looking 1/4 zip pullover, but i was under the impression it would be thicker. i probably didn't read the description well enough. this pullover looks best when worn with a thin base layer or by itself. not a source of significant warmth, but nice and easy to wear.
I just can't decide what size to get! That's always my problem. I want this fleece to be fitting, and not loose, but not constricting either. My measurements are: bust=33in. waist= 27in. and hips=35in. So I really can't figure it out. Some say it fits tight but others say too loose! What size should I get??
Depends on your build. I'm 5'9-1/2", (160 lbs) with long torso, wide shoulders and long arms, so I ordered XXL (up one size). Street clothes I wear XL. This XXL fits perfect---good length, "huggy" but not constrictive. No matter what the mfg. says, I find after laundry there's always some shrinkage, so wash in cold water and "line dry." The material of this fleece is totally WOW!
This fleece is a great lightweight zip pullover that can be worn anywhere. It feels so soft and is perfect for the mild winters in Oklahoma. I love it, and I wear it al the time!
I love the cut and quality of the fleece in this jacket. Its feminine shaping fits me like a glove, and the thin but warm fleece does not pill or sag. With the pink accents in the zipper pull, it goes well with my brown Horny Toad fitness pants that have a pink stripe. I'm seriously thinking about buying more colors.
This was a Christmas gift for my teen daughter - who has told me she absolutely LOVES it "it's SO soft and fits perfect". I loved the price as well. I know it's true - she hasn't stopped wearing it since we gave it to her!
My wife asked for a casual, warm, STYLISH fleece for Christmas. I asked my all knowing:) teen daughter for ideas and she recommended the TKA 100. I shopped other options (LLBEAN, EMS, Patagonia..) and found them to be off the mark (either style, comfort or cost wise). The 2005-6 TKA100 model though( with the North Face logo on chest vs. 2007 version on hip) is really sharp looking. Rare gift for either teen or mom. PS - Christmas 2007 - buy these early, they flew off the shelves both online and locally in '06.
The best in both. We got our order FAST, and it was perfect, exactly as we ordered it, no tears or seams coming apart. They fit perfect. They do run a bit on the smaller side, so consider that when ordering, which I did. Therefore I don't have to do any returns. Quality is A++++, my girls love they product & they are so light weight, but still keep them warm & dry!
This pullover is perfect for chilly days, and is stylish. Also, this pullover is well made; some of mine are several years old, and they still look good.
Great fleece. Lightweight and warm! Managed to get a tear at the seam the third time wearing it and exchanged it. You guys were great as usual...had the new one to me ASAP. Great job guys!
Great to wear under fleece - as it is, a little light for warmth when camping, cross country skiing and hiking. Great fit and very flattering for figure.
Got it for my daughter who is a camp counselor. North Face was the pull over of choice among the counselors. She loves it. It came in so quickly. Just in time for her birthday.
This fleece is great, The North Face is really good quality. The fleece is very light weight but extremely warm. I would suggest ordering a size bigger than you think, they are pretty snug to get on, but once on they fit great.
My boyfriend bought one and I kept stealing it so he got me one for my birthday. Everyone says if runs small in the women's sizes, I'm a medium in women's and he bought me a men's small, it fits amazingly and is surprisingly flattering despite being a men's!
I absolutely LOVE this fleece! I bought the pink lemonade in a large and it fits perfect. It's loose enough to wear a tight shirt underneath as well. I usually where mediums in North Face but I got this in a large so I could layer and it works great. Its a very soft, warm fleece that you can wear for all different kinds of activities. The first time I wore it I layered it over a fitted sweat wicking shirt and hiked a 14,000 ft mountain. I stayed dry and warm. And other times I just wear it casually with jeans. Im tempted to buy more in different colors! This fleece is a great buy that you will get a lot of wear out of.
I have 3 of these and get compliments on it all the time. It is lightweight enough to wear in the house and still provides warmth when outside. It is perfect to wear to the gym in the winter with a tank underneath. Grab the pants too and I can scoot around all day without going home after the gym. I have had one set for 2 years and it still looks great. I still get compliments on it all the time cuz the fit is perfect.
My wife purchased one for me and she wore it for a few months. Then we decided to purchase one for her and loved it. Bought another one. Now she loves to have one for outdoors and going out. Would hightly recommend for anyone who is in the outdoors.
I agree that you should order a size up than you normally wear but this shirt is so very warm and comfortable I wear it all the time! I even had to run outside one night to my car and didn't put a jacket on but I didn't need one. It really keeps you warm and although it is still lightweight enough to wear you don't overheat. I love it and want to buy more in different colors.
I found this product to run a bit small. I usally order medium sized tops because they are roomy. I ordered this product in a medium also and the size would have been ok if I were to wear this by itself, but layering under was not really possible and ended up looking bulky because the fleece was too tight. For layering purposes, I would order a size up.
I bought three of these shirts and they fit my sister and me perfectly. These were soft and comfortable and it kept us warm on the slopes! To make the most of it we had to put on a coat before heading out (obviously), and for us it was used as layering piece.
It is a great fit and so warm.I wear it over a t shirt and it is so comfy. I have the black fleece pants and wear it around the house on cooler days. It is great with jeans too. A heavenly purchase! I will buy more in the future.
This is my third purchase for the North Face TKA 100. I love them and have worn them all winter so far. It is a great alternative to a sweater or sweatshirt. The only con would be there really is no room to wear a top underneath unless it is a form fitting short sleeve t-shirt. Otherwise this is one of the best purchases I have made. They are soft, warm, lightweight and not bulky at all. Nicely fitted for a womens shape.
I just bought this TNF fleece this morning in ALBA green. I will indeed use it to layer under my ski jacket for this season. I will agree from previous experience that this fleece will hold up to the wear and tear that I will give it. I only wish I lived in the USA...the prices are sooo much better!!!!
This fleece is exactly what I thought it would be - soft, light weight, warm, and perfect for layering. Bonus: it's stylin'. I read about 30 of these reviews before buying it, and decided to trust everyone and order a size up. That was good advice. I'm always a small, but the medium leaves more room for layering on frigid ski days but it still works with just a tank top.
This fleece is the softest thing ever! I was really impressed by the fit-it was not bulky, but nicely tailored. I will def buy more North Face products!
The fleece is great. Lightweight, soft, minimalist bells & whistles. But it's just not designed for an average human. It seems to be sized a little small... If you want a fleece that's tight, and doesn't fit over a T real well, this one is great. But if you're an average-sized person (not super thin and wirey), try something else.
If you ever need a gift idea for someone, think "TNF's TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece." It's super soft, warm, well made, versatile, and looks great. Can be worn pretty much anywhere... and everywhere! It's a base layer when you hit the slopes, or a nice fleece pullover to wear on a hot date.
This fleece is the perfect weight for layering, or for wearing out on a chilly day. Super soft with a flattering fit. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a good basic piece.
If you're like me, shopping for your GF is more stressful than getting up on Monday morning. One thing's for sure, your girl loves the Glacier TKA 100 fleece. How do I know? It could be the fuzzy-bunny feel, down to earth price, or excellent (and sexy with the zipper down) fit. All I know is if you're a good boyfriend, get a TKA 100 for your girl. 5'2" and petite fits the size Small perfectly.
This is hands-down one of my favorite fleeces. I have it in White and Black. I particularly love the white one. It's tailored and very flattering. I've given this fleece as a gift many, many times and everyone loves it -- from my friends who actually do outdoor activities to those that just want to stay warm walking around town.
A couple of Christmas' ago I gave my mom a North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece top, and she absolutely loves it. She started to wear hers almost every day that winter, and after a couple months she said that she wants a few more! She had to have some more colors to go with the one I got her. The next Christmas (Dec 2006) I got her 2 more TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zips in two different colors, and she couldn't have been happier. The shirts are very light in weight, but the fleece is thick enough to keep her warm when the temp starts to drop. Also an excellent 2nd layer to wear skiing/boarding. Very simple, but very good looking shirts. If you want your mom to love you more... you know what to get her this Christmas!
