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.

    I have a sizable collection of both 1/2 zip hoodies and 1/2 zip funnel neck scubas, with a couple full zip crops. Approximately half I’ve gotten brand new and half secondhand, all manufactured between 2021-2023. There’s a small noticeable quality difference between older and newer, so maybe look into buying them secondhand if that’s an issue. I haven’t noticed any quality/manufacturing defects on my scubas upon first inspection (leggings are a different story!) On any given day as an exercise addicted gym teacher I’m usually wearing a scuba (I wear each ~4-5x before washing) and usually cycle them out for longevity. I only wash my scubas with each other on delicate with cold water and hang to dry. With all that being said, I’ve noticed certain funnel necks having more visible wear/fading/softness loss (specifically psychic & ripened raspberry, both of which I got secondhand so idk how they were cared for prior), but haven’t noticed much difference in the hoodies or full zips. I have a lot of vibrant and jewel tone colors plus some neutral ones and most haven’t faded at all! The only ones I worry about staining are sonic yellow and electric turquoise since they’re lighter, but I don’t baby them and haven’t had any serious problems. I got a large unknown dark stain on my poolside scuba at school that broke my heart but I was able to get it out with some dawn soap- it’s good as new. Overall I LOVE my scubas and can see myself wearing them for years to come with continued care!
