The brand

About Scuba Pro

Scuba Pro’s Everflex Yulex wetsuits use a polyester lining made from recycled plastic bottles, with roughly 45 recycled bottles going into each suit, and the natural rubber foam is sourced from FSC certified farms.
Scuba Pro is owned by Johnson Outdoors Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin, and in 2012 became the first diving brand to introduce X-Foam, a limestone based neoprene that is petroleum free and complies with PAH and REACH chemical regulations.

Where this brand isn't perfect

Check firstNot a certified B Corp

Scuba Pro is not a B Corp. The brand-level labels are thinner than the product-level ones.

What the label won’t tell you

The questions sensitive skin actually asks, answered

0/0 styles scanned, no sampling 0% plant · 100% synthetic PFAS-free (brand claim) ✓ read from the live product feed, not the marketing page
?Are there hidden chemicals against my skin?
~9% of people react to formaldehyde, common in wrinkle-free and easy-care finishes.
Scuba Pro is PFAS-free (brand claim). Dye process on record: see the sourcing ledger. We record the dye process and chemical flags for every brand.
?Is “100% cotton” actually 100%?
Most “cotton” underwear hides elastane or spandex in the waistband, exactly what sensitive skin reacts to.
We read all 0 styles individually: 0% plant, 100% synthetic. Even the elastics are bio-based, not spandex. We flag any style whose description hints at a trim.
?Is “sustainable” just greenwashing?
“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of clothing certifications are essentially meaningless.
We scanned 0 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage.
?Will the elastic bring me out in a rash?
Latex and rubber in waistbands are a top trigger for contact dermatitis and latex allergy.
0% plant, 100% synthetic across the catalogue means the elastics aren’t spandex. Set your allergy profile and we only show you brands that clear it.
?Am I shedding microplastics onto my body?
Synthetic underwear sheds microplastics into skin and water with every wash.
0% plant fibre, plastic-free, so there’s zero synthetic to shed. Every style read individually, no sampling.
?Where is it really made, and by whom?
“Ethical” brands rarely name the farm or factory, so wage and safety claims cannot be checked.
We publish the full sourcing chain, farm and factory certifications, traceability level and the honest red flags, including where sources conflict. Traceability on record: Not disclosed; factory: Not disclosed by brand; Sheico Group manufacturing is reported in Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

Sources: consumer research on formaldehyde in easy-care fabrics (~9% of people react), PFAS in water- and stain-resistant finishes, and hypoallergenic underwear for eczema and contact dermatitis.

Scubapro (owned by Johnson Outdoors) publishes material technology claims, such as limestone-based petroleum-free neoprene, but does not publish any supplier or factory list, factory locations, or fibre/raw-material origins. Independent industry sources indicate its wetsuits are produced by OEM Sheico Group in Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, but this is not brand-disclosed. Supply-chain transparency for Scubapro is effectively absent.

Sourcing flags & notes: No supplier or factory list; no factory locations or certifications published; manufacturing partner only known via third-party industry sources; no fibre/raw-material origin disclosure.

How it was read: Every product listed in Scuba Pro's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually, from the Scuba Pro product page, Scuba Pro's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage for Scuba Pro is published only when 100% of the Scuba Pro catalogue has been read. Items Scuba Pro sells that carry no clothing textile, such as gift cards, packaging, jewellery and homeware, are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Why excluded: Nothing was excluded: every item counted is a textile product.
