This cap is great for long hair.  So easy to put on, doesn''t pull your hair like most.

I''ve been using this cap for over a year and it is still in great shape.  I have long, thick hair and have a difficult time with other caps.  This one covers, is comfortable, and attractive.  I really want another but in a different color.

I have really long hair - I sit on it when it's down. I have never been able to find a cap that fits my hair - until now! This cap is fantastic. It's so easy to put on and because it's two (almost) separate layers, I can adjust the fit. No, it's not waterproof (it's Lycra, not silicone) so your hair will get wet. But, it keeps your hair out of your face and tangle-free! I would definitely recommend this product. I bought two because I am in the pool so often (I train every weekday) - I've had both for 7 months and they're still in great shape (I rinse with cold water and a mild detergent wash every other use).

Love love love this product.

This is a great swim cap that's used by both myself and my three-year old daughter. It does a terrific job of keeping long hair out of your face and is very easy to put on and comfortable to wear.

I just wish they made a waterproof version. What I've done with my daughter is to put this cap on her, then put a waterproof one over it (it's much easier to put the silicone cap on over this one than to put in on by itself).

I had high hopes for this product.  I wanted a great fitting snug cap that was long-lasting, easy to put on, and gentle on my hair.  I was/am sorely disappointed.  I've been using it as a swim cap for lap swimming 5 days per week for the past 3 months.  The cap is already rotted and falling apart like a cheap lycra swimsuit.  The cap was snug at first, but loosened fairly quickly.  Probably by about a month into use, it was limp and my ponytail was flopping around in there.  I was VERY careful to wash, rinse, and hang-dry after each and every use, and it still disintegrated.  I paid over $25 for this cap, for only 3 months of use.  It's SUPPOSED to be made of a long-lasting fabric.  Sadly, it isn't long-lasting, and I'm out the money.  I think I'd be better off just using cheap lycra caps.

I had tried a few other swim caps to fit my long hair, but could never get them all the way on.  This cap is AWESOME!  I watched the YouTube video on how to put it on, and I love it.  I don't even have to use a hair tie.  But, don't buy it expecting it to keep your hair dry.  It just keeps your hair out of your face and your goggles in place which was what I was looking for.  Overall, it is great!

I was a little worried that this cap wouldn't be big enough as I have a big head and long hair.  Thankfully, it JUST fit and has been amazing ever since.  It's really easy to put on if you watch the youtube video.  I don't have any problems with it slipping while doing laps.  It won't keep your hair dry at all, but I usually get it wet and put conditioner on it before swimming anyway.  All in all, it's just what I was looking for.

Although this is certainly much more attractive than other caps, the water gets right into the cap so my hair has no protection whatsoever.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to use it and have ordered the rubber ones instead.

Got this for my 10 year old.  It was too small to cover all her hair, which is not that much.
