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

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.

I ordered a large as most shirts I wear are a large from TNF. The sleeves are WAY too short along with the torso. Do not plan to extend your arms or raise your arms above your chest without the pullover going above your pants and sleeves about 4 inches below your wrist. I found the GRDN LYON pullover in large fit much better when I visited the store and did not have the length issues the TKA 100 had. I really loved how soft this was but unfortunately have to return it as an XL is WAY too baggy.

Im not going to rip an entire company over one product, but this is not up to the quality that Im used to with TNF. I hope this isnt a trend. Like many others have said, it just feels cheap. Ive owned other lightweight pullovers from TNF and have never felt this way. Dont expect it to be as good as in the past. Is it still a decent pullover, yes. And for other companies Id give it a 3/5. But Im sorry, I hold them to higher standards.

As far as fleeces go, this is my most expensive and cheapest made. It is paper thin and is already stretched out at the bottom. I’m disappointed and have now learned that under armor is just a name, not a quality product.

I bought this in October, from the sizing chart the medium seemed like it would be a good fit for me. 510 175lbs It was a perfect fit, I wore it for about a month and a half on and off, it was washed 3 times without a problem. On the fourth wash it shrunk, a lot, the sleeves were basically 3 inches past my elbow, the bottom was around my belly button. I guess this is going to my 6 year old nephew in a few years, it will be a perfect fit for a 9 year old now. I ended up getting a new one, in large, its a little big on me but at least when/if it shrinks it might be back to that perfect size again.
