The North Face Men's TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip

Comment

Nicely made, lightweight, warm, and comfortable. Works well as part of a layered combo, or by itself if its not too cold and windy. -------------------------------------------------------------- Update 4/10/16: After several months of use and once a week washing, the microfleece fabric has lost its even appearance and is looking rough and worn. I only wear this around town and never out in the wild or on hikes, etc, so it has never been treated roughly. My old TKA 100 purchased back in 2006 still pretty much has its even appearance and is holding up well after all these years, so I am wondering if I received a counterfeit item, or if TNF garments are being made of cheaper microfleece than in past years. The older shirt was made in Indonesia, and the newer one in Jordan, if that makes any difference. I have included comparison photos. The one on the left is my older top, and the one on the right is the newer one, purchased about 4 months ago.

Very cheap feeling and low quality. Does not feel to be the same fabric that North Face uses for their traditional pullovers. Have you ever felt those cheap blankets they sell at IKEA? This fabric is identical to that. After a week, the threading around the cuff is falling apart as shown in the picture. I hope CS can reach out to me and rectify this issue, then I will edit my review.

Not at all what I expected from North Face. It started to pill even before first washing. Looks and feels cheap. Not at all warm. Looks much better in picture. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

I just bought The North Face TKA Glacier 1/4 Zip pullover, in Asphalt Grey. I normally buy a Medium size in most things, but when I received it and tried it on, it fit very tight. I was wearing a long sleeved button down business shirt with a tie, and pulled it over like I would if I were wearing it normally, and it felt more like a small to me. Im 510" and weigh about 165 lbs., btw. I ended up sending it back and buying the Large, which is scheduled to arrive today, so I will update later as to its fit. I am really hoping the large size does not shrink up much, as some buyers have mentioned, because I dont want to end up with another Small. Anyway, you should know that this size runs smaller than what you may be accustomed to with your normal clothing purchases. Additionally, when I returned the item, I was informed that Good Sports charges between $3 and $4 for a return shipping charge, so you should know that there is a cost to return items you are not satisfied with - something that I think should be made more clear in the original description page.

Feels like really cheap material. The fleece got fuzzy balls after washing just a couple times. Maybe fake? It definitely doesnt feel like other north face pull overs Ive bought in the same price range. It feels more like $5 fleece pull overs Ive bought at Dollar General. It is cut like NF but material is garbage. Will prob have holes worn in the elbows from the arm rest in my truck within a few more wears
