Does the Scuba Hoodie III run true to size?

It is cut relaxed and most owners say it runs roomy. If you want a closer fit, size down one; if you plan to layer thick tops underneath, take your usual size.

Is it warm enough for winter?

The thick cotton-polyester fleece is warm for cool fall and mild winter days, especially layered. It is not a substitute for an insulated jacket in freezing weather.

How should I wash it to avoid shrinkage?

Wash cold and tumble dry low or hang dry. Hot water and high heat are the main causes of shrinkage and pilling reported by owners.

What is the difference between the Scuba Hoodie III and earlier Scuba hoodies?

The III keeps the classic relaxed fit and thick fleece but uses a cotton-elastane lining and ribbing for a softer feel. Owners of older versions generally find the fit and warmth similar.

Is it good for working out?

No. It is a lifestyle hoodie in a heavy cotton blend with limited stretch, so it suits lounging and errands better than gym or running use.

When is the best time to buy it?

Lululemon marks down colors and sizes seasonally, and resale prices dip outside the holidays. Check the price history before buying at full price.

Our take on the Lululemon Scuba Hoodie III

The Scuba Hoodie III is Lululemon's relaxed, hip-length zip hoodie in a cotton-polyester fleece with a soft cotton-elastane lining. It keeps the thick brushed-back fabric and roomy fit the Scuba line is known for, with a full zip, hood and ribbed cuffs and hem. It is a lifestyle layer rather than a performance piece, so it suits lounging, errands and cool-weather walks more than workouts.
