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.

    For me personally I went into it with realistic expectations. They have a high cotton content, so they’re going to shrink and fade. That being said, I wash all my blue/green clothes together, black clothes together, pink/purple, light grey and white together. So my fading has been pretty minimal. I have cats and haven’t really had any issues with nails causing holes. It’s only due to the fact the newer ones have cheaper fabric I’m not buying much anymore. Quality is more like the dupes out there. It’s like they’re trying to dupe themselves to save a buck on production, all while still charging more.
