I have a Scuba plush full zip from 2020 in heathered white. I like it so much I ordered another one in heathered black, and it arrived recently.
It’s thinner and lighter. Whatever they use for the lining has changed? My 2020 has a thick velour-like material with individual little tufts in a linear pattern. The 2025 has what looks to me like brushed fleece, and it’s definitely thinner. I can pinch the fabric and tell that the new one is thinner. The face fabric is different, too, but it’s hard to explain. It’s not as soft or as lofty.
I can tell just by holding them that my older one is heavier. The new one isn’t as warm, either, and it feels a bit less structured.
I don’t know if my mind is playing tricks on me, but I asked my husband to compare the two and he mostly agreed with my assessment.
Has anyone else noticed this?
These are the only Scubas I buy, I like the full length and full zip for lounging, and I get them oversized. I kept it because it’s comfortable. But I’m bummed.
