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!
