The entire garment is stitched together with durable flat locked seams that eliminate bulk while preventing chafing. Wear it alone or as a layer under a breathable, waterproof shell.
I Love This Shirt!
I own several of these. What do I like about this shirt? It's warm, comfy, and practical. It layers well. The zip neck makes it easy to put it on even over a hat. And I like the way that it looks! Solid style but not over the top! This shirt is not the thickest fleece available and does not have windstop, however if used as an under layer it does what it's designed to do -- keep you warm! Great as a single layer in fall weather. A good choice for the outdoorsman who needs warm practical clothes. One last point -- seems to run a size small, so order a size larger than you usually do.
Perfect for cooler temps
Order a size up. Fits nice, looks great!
Exceeds my expectations!
A GREAT fleece shirt. As recommended by another customer of yours, I ordered 1 size larger (XL) than I normally do for a less snug fit - and as I was led to believe, it fit perfectly with additional room for layering. Very comfortable!

Excellent shirt..
I purchased this shirt as a mid layer for skiing, and the shirt performed beautifully. I agree with the other reviewers that noted the shirt runs a bit small. I usually take a Large, but ordered the XL and it fit the bill.
Favorite shirt
This is my favorite shirt. Lightweight and warm. I'm 5' 8" 155lbs and I got the medium. Fits perfect. I should have bought more than one. Have to wait for Altrec to get more in stock.
Aurora Zip North face
This is the second Aurora Zip Neck I bought for my son in law and he loves them for his active life in Colorado.It is easy to go to your site and know I will have success with my gift giving.
Nice fitting and very soft!
I purchased this for my husband and he loved it. It is somewhat slim fitting but I would still recommend ordering your normal size.
Lightweight
The North Face: Men's Aurora Zip Neck - Ready for running, cycling, climbing and more. Great as a primary or a secondary layer!...Read More...This lightweight, stretch fleece top is ideal for a wide range of high-impact outdoor activities.
Great Fit
Close fit is great for layering while allowing full range of movement.
Great
close fit great for layering. does not limit movement
Liket it a lot !
This is my 2nd fleece after the Denali, the Polartec 100 is of great feel and although is a rather close fit, if you order it a size bigger it won't feel too crumped. It is very lightweight and a pleasure to wear under my TNF Mountain Guide Gore Tex Jacket. Also bought one from my wife and she loves this one too.
Definitely another great fleece from TNF.
Very Small Fitting
This is a great fleece but it is very small. I own several North Face shirts that are very similar and I always wear a large. I ordered a large and I can't even put it on. I gave it to my girlfriend and she loves the shirt. So if you order this shirt order one or two sizes bigger or it will not fit you.
softshell support
i got this shirt for a mid layer under a softshell and found out it is warm and silky soft.the strech panels are a nice touch.this shirt is perfect as a next to skin layer and eliminates the need for a mid layer.a good looking and versatile piece.
Flexible
Great for all types of weather. Good as a light fleece in the fall and good as a base layer in the extreme cold.
Great all-purpose top
Love this shirt. Works well for running in chilly weather, or around town under a waterproof shell. Soft, almost cashmere like feel to the fabric. Runs a little small so you may need to go up a size. As always, Altrec provided great service and fast delivery.
the is the best winter accesory ever
The Aurora shirt by North Face is a must addtion to the winter wardrobe. It is light but warm and one really needs nothing else but a coat on a cold winter's day. I love it and so does everyone in our family. We all have several, only wish there were more colors.
Great buy!!!
I love my new fleece, it fits great, and feels great, its very soft.
Excellent value for the price paid.
Very nice shirt and extremely comfortable.

great cool weather fleece
Wonderful cold weather active wear fleece. Its been great for running in the fall, and I can still wear it as I warm up during the run. Thin and light enough to keep in my cycling bag for commutes to work also.
Highly recommneded.

Great feel, good ventilation, solid comfort, excellent breathability, provides needed warmth and still keeps you cool. I am very glad to have purchased this product, it has become my Go-To second layer.

Nice pullover!
This is a really nice fleece pullover. Super comfy and light! Sizing is a bit on the small size. I'm a men's small but medium fit better.

Very fitted, nice material and great construction
This is a perfectly fitted shirt for an athletic body with long arms and broad shoulders. It fits perfect and winter is so much more beautiful.
Great shirt
This shirt performed well on a long bike ride with heat and humidity. The long sleeves blocked the sun and it wicked away the moisture. I still need a yellow one.

One my best purchases!!!
A great pullover. It is soft, and incredible warm. Well worth it. I should say--with Northface stuff, always buy one size larger.

What a great shirt!
This is by far my favourite piece of clothing. It is extremely lightweight and very flexible - the perfect companion for cooler days. I've wearn it hiking Mt. Shasta, sitting in an air conditioned bus from Vietnam to Cambodia, and also during cool evenings here in L.A. If you want a versatile light shell for the mountain as well as for the town, this is your best choice.

Excellent Shirt for Autumn Days
Very comfortable shirt, good as base layer. I wear this also with Soft Shell Jacket and it works great.

Great item to keep you warm and lighten your load.
Trouble deciding which peice of clothing to leave behind to help lighten the load? Simple soulution. Combining my rain jacket with The North Face Aurora Zip solved the problem of having to take an outer shell. By using the Aurora Zip under the rain shell I found I could leave the bulkier outer jacket at home. The Aurora Zip is a great layering piece. I have found it to be very comfortable and warm by itself. A great item to make the trips a little lighter.
Close fit, very warm for weight
Close fitting for easy layering, and the warmth to weight ratio is unbelievable! As warm as it is, it still transitions well for going from the cold outdoors to warmth and not feeling like you'll burst into flames.
Excellent product
Great light weight fleece. Excellent construction and fit. Perfect for use when a 200 weight fleece is just too much. Also excellent second layer under heavier weight fleece.
Great all-purpose top
I bought this top as an insulating piece for running and hiking here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. The soft fleece is very comfortable, almost like cashmere. It is also a nice piece to wear around town under a rain shell. The Polartec 100 fleece kept me warm, but is not too heavy to overheat you. Runs a little small so you may want to size up.
AURORA ZIP NECK
Its a great shirt. I have three of them. I use them mostly for skiing right now. But I am sure they will be great for the spring and fall. My only regret was you ran out of my size in a couple of different colors. I would have ordered more.

Perfect Middle Layer
This fleece is the perfect middle layer for any outdoor activity. Great under a shell while snowboarding or skiing.

typical quality tnf
Luxuriously soft material and given the cut will work well under soft shell jackets - the tapered tight fitting cut may be a little snug for most body types. If you're looking for a little extra warmth under that soft shell, though, this may be your answer.

Durable, comfortable, and worth the price.
Its light, comfortable, and keeps you really warm. Some times too warm for moderate weather. The sizes run a bit smaller than the norm, so if you got a bit around the waist, get one size up. It is also durable. I have a cat who likes to paw on my Aurora. Unlike other fleece tops, it does't shed as much, nor does it tear...its not surprising, its a north face. I have other cheaper versions, and their reasons for being cheaper is quite clear. They just don't match up to the above qualities.

Perfect perfomance layer for activity
I needed a perfomance layer for skiing. I wanted something that was light yet warm, and this is both. It's light which allows ease of movement, while still being warm.

Everyone should own this shirt!
I love this fleece shirt! Not only does it fit like a glove, it's stylish and it will keep you warm on any chilly day or night.

Great for a cold morning run...
I truly love my aurora, I used it for a run in the cold winter's morning and was surprised at how warm it kept me, without any added weight. I love it so much that I bought two other in different colors.

Fantastic Purchase
I love this garment! Although I purchased it primarily for bicycle touring, I am already considering purchasing another . The cut is comfortable and the feel of the fleece is soft and luxurious.
It has impressive insulating qualities as a midlayer, superior wicking as a first layer. On several chilly morning rides, I have used it comfortably with only an outer-shell and while riding home on a warm afternoon, have had no inclination to remove it. As I am concerned with weight while I tour, I am convinced that this garment will offer me comfort in a wide range of temperatures while being incredibly light.
The only downside is the sleeves are several inches too long and the cuffs are not 'elastic' enough to keep the sleeves from crawling.
