The North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece
January 27, 2008

Another winner from The North Face. Perfectly proportioned, with the blessed extra room in the arms. This is a great fleece that makes an easy transition from the backcountry to a casual night out. I don’t know what this thing is made of but it’s some sort of miracle fleece that never lets the wearer get too hot or too cold (within reason, people, don’t wear a light fleece when it’s 10 below and expect to stay warm). This fleece was catapulted to the top of my “favorite shirt” list.
My one complaint – because there has to be at least one, sometimes – is the recent color selection. Blech, what happened to “normal” colors like green, blue, red, brown, yellow? I’m glad I got in on the light blue color before it disappeared into oblivion at the whim of fashion, or the whim of whoever decides what colors to release.
Don’t get this one confused with the “other” TKA fleece top by North Face, that one doesn’t fit as well. This one is the winner.
