Lightweight and durable cap that is designed to hold dome shape and rounded fit with no wrinkles, which reduces drag. The silicone allows the head to breath for a more comfortable fit and can be stretched to over double its original size. Quick and easy to take on and off while not snagging hair.
This is a great cap! I’m on my 5th cap now I think. Silicone is great and lasts forever. Unlike rubber (which can snag hair) and latex (which some people are allergic to) silicone fits smoothly over wet hair, has a glossy finish so it looks great and doesn’t lose elasticity. I have a some advice if you want to try this product that I’ve learned overt the years:1. Always rinse and hang dry. I’ve left wet caps in my gym bag and after a month of two of neglect, it develops black spots. I don’t know if it’s mold, it doesn’t wash off…and you’ll have to buy a new cap if you don’t like the spotted look.2. Pull it on gently. I’ve ripped one when I was trying to stretch it over my head because my long nails cut right through it. It’s not cloth so you have to be careful. This goes for latex and rubber, too.3. Wet your hair first. If your hair is dry when you put it on, you will trap air under the cap. And since it’s not a permeable material, the cap will start to come off while you swim because of the air trying to escape inside.4. Pick a fun color.That’s it. Have a great swim!
COMFORTABLE AND DURABLE I have used this cap almost daily for over a year. It still fits snugly and is very comfortable. Writing this review has made me think to order another one now, for the inevitable day my old one wears out.I have a rather large head and found many caps didn’t fit comfortably. This one is very elastic and is great.UPDATE: 12-2011 Bought an extra but still on the first one, despite years of daily swimming. Impressive!UPDATE: 8-2013 Finally ripped after over six years of daily use! Unbelievable.
Great Swim Cap I had trouble getting water in my ears before wearing this cap. Now no problem! It keeps my hair fairly dry, or at least drier than with other caps I’ve tried. It’s easy to put on and take off–no hair pulling. It’s lasted well so far. Much better than wearing a cap with a chin strap.
