Hi. I appreciate if you can share your wear and tear (as well as color fading) with the scuba hoodie you own. (half zip, full zip and funnel neck).

Especially for the scubas that you wear on regular basis. (not like once a month)

I see a lot of bad reviews on the web site so it would be helpful if you can share your experience.

I own 2. First one was purchased in March 2022, half zip in Heathered Core Ultra Light Grey. I have worn this over 100 times, and it is still in good shape.

The stains do come out and a there is bit of pilling in the inner fleece.

The second one was Funnel Neck in Grey Sage. Bought March 2022, and developed a tiny hole in the ribbed fabric area under the left armpit in 6months.

Also, I washed this in cold gentle cycle inside out, but after the laundry was done to so I can air dry, the scuba was not wet/damp at all as if was water repellent…

Also, there is some color fading and I don’t know but some weird stains on the back which I have no clue. (not like I spilled food/drink )

Since then, I do not feel like buying any more Scubas but just wear the HCUL until it breaks.

    They shrink and the more saturated the color the more it will fade regardless of how you watch it (eg color protector detergent). And now, new issue that I’ve seen on this sub, hard to zip because the material catches in the zipper 💀💀💀

    They are definitely thinner and way lower in quality.

    I’d only buy a scuba if it was a color I absolutely loved or a neutral color that won’t fade like heathered bone, grey etc.
