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 only own one scuba. Im much more a Define girl. I bought it two years ago, it’s the heathered grey full zip. I’m very rough with it, I actually treat it like any other garment. I’m not careful with it and I don’t wash it separately like I do with all of my other Lulu. I also tossed it in the dryer and it’s held up really well. I’ve worn it to my local Lululemon store a few times, and the educators have commented on how nice it still looks. No shrink. No fading. I was told in store by an educator that the one I have was made long enough ago back when they were pre-shrunk. I’ve washed this thing on hot and it’s still good. Basically I was told I got one of the “nicer” ones made back in the day w the better material. Where I live, it hardly ever gets cold enough to justify wearing this all day long, but it’s definitely something I wear in the evening to walk the dogs or on the cooler days. Between that and the material quality going down over the last couple years, I won’t be buying another one.
