Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
I feel that the improvements were made this year. The sleeves are longer and it is a bit longer in the torso compared to last year (2007). It works wonderful for me as I am 5'10" and usally have difficulty with clothing being too short in sleeves and torso. I am very happy with this top as it serves multiple purpose - walks/plays in the park with my toddler to hiking, grocery shopping, relaxing and staying warm during the ski season, etc.

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
This is a terrific fleece pullover. The colors are gorgeous -- even nicer than the color swatches shown, for example the "Blush Red" is a beautiful melon color. The fit is perfect -- not too bulky and not too tight. The princess seaming is very flattering and eliminates that "I'm wearing a blanket" look you can get with fleece. I read all the other comments and I'm glad there are no pockets -- that's why it fits so well! This is a very contemporary light-weight fleece sweater -- all-season and pretty much all-occasion -- looks nice with shorts, jeans, or a skirt. Get more than one color, you won't regret it.

This is a great fleece! My first choice for a round of golf. I have three colors and looking to buy more.

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
My opinion is that there's no design flaw. It is a layering piece, not a jacket, therefore I like the fitted torso and shorter length. The material is thin but warm. The quality fleece can withstand wash after wash to retain its shape and integrity. It is a lot pricier than those cheap fleec tops out there but why not treat yourself to something truly nice for a change?
Highly recommend it!

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
I took this top with me on a rafting trip with some friends, and it literally saved my life. We had rain, snow, and hail the entire trip and the warmest it got was about 40 degrees. I was constantly in and out of the river and soaking wet. This top kept me warm even though it was dripping wet. Whe I squeezed the water out of it, it was completely dry. I was one of two out of 10 people not to get hypothermia.
After the trip I washed it and I didn't think that any of the stains would come out, but it came out just like new and it didn't shrink. Definently one of the best investments I've ever made.

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
This is one piece of clothing I cannot do without, all seasons of the year! I bought this as a mid-layer for climbing Kilimanjaro, and I have lived in this fleece ever since. It is super light weight, but warm and soft. On a cool summer night, I always takes this on walks for when the temperature dips. On cold winter days, it goes snowboarding and snowshoeing with me. It dries very fast in the humidity of Peru, and blocks out the wind on the glacier of Kilimanjaro.
After many many washes, there is no sign of the fabric deteriorating. It is as good as day 1. I highly recommend buying this item for anyone considering it. I have gotten more use out of it than any other expensive gear I have owned.

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
I gave one to my daughter a year ago and got one this fall for myself since she really likes hers. I am adding this to my wish list for the holidays. This does run small and both my daughter and I had to go up in size. I usually wear a ladies small (or a smaller size medium) but had to go up to a large to get it long enough in the sleeves and through the torso.

Comments about The North Face TKA 100 Glacier Fleece Quarter-Zip Top - Women's:
I bought this in both black and white just as a light pullover for fall/early winter and spring. It is very comfortable and warm. It has a nice cut to it so you'll look nice wearing it.
I've had mine for over a year and I feel the wind and cold getting through the fabric more than before. If going out in the cold (40 degrees or so) I'd layer something over or under it. A vest works perfectly. The white will get dirty but I've never had a problem getting stains (dirt, coffee) out.

I have been using this fleece for the past month outdoors and in. It's perfect for cool weather, is wind resistant and WARM. I throw it on before bed on cold nights and sometimes can't take it off in the morning. I've been using it as a layer over a tank top or tee and can't wait to take it camping and backpacking. I haven't had any problems with this top thus far. Fantastic product.
