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.
Personally speaking - I own two of the OG full zip scubas. They have not faded after many cold wash and air dry cycles. One is “camo green multi” and the other is “heathered speckled black”. They look new. I fell in love with the funnel neck in “dark forest gold”. I’ve washed it 10 times in cold with air drying - it is fading. It’s making me nervous to spend $148 on the “espressso gold” knowing it likely will fade faster than the green.

I used to own “heathered speckled black” and this did not fade. I am wondring if the dye that LL is using is cheap so that is why it fades within a couple of washes. (though they charge a lot…)

To see the darker NEW scubas not living up to the price and expected quality is sad. I definitely will avoid super dark colours. No navy or black. So frustrating.
