TYR Warm Wear Cap Reviews

By Swim Fish from Mountain View, CA on 1/5/2012

This is a great insulated swim cap!   It keeps your head warm while swimming, and doesn't pull your hair while putting it on.  I swim in an outdoor pool in CA winters, and my head stays nice and warm.

I use these caps, covered with a brightly colored latex cap, to improve my comfort when swimming in the San Francisco Bay.  Commonly the water temperature is 52 - 54 deg F, and I don't wear a wetsuit.  At those temperatures, it feels much better to be losing heat from somewhere other than your head.  I've worn this cap down to temperatures of 50 deg F and found they work flawlessly.  
My only caveat is that they are not in accordance with English Channel rules, so be sure this cap will be accepted in the swim you are training for.

I love this cap.  It is much better than the ones with a chin strap.  
I wear another cap over it to keep it in place, and it does keep my head warm!

This is my second cap of this kind. The first one lasted several months, which I think is good, given that  I swim in a pool 4-7 times a week. It fits well and does keep my head warmer than other types of caps. Recommended.

The cap itself is great, and the service before and after purchase was good. Unfortunately the cap was way too small (and unforgiving) for my size 7 1/8 (an average sized head) noggin.

This cap slips on easily  without pulling my hair and stays in place.  The two-layer construction makes them sturdy.    This is my fourth -- they last about a year for me.

I wear this cap almost all year; (I switch to latex in the summer months because I swim outdoors and live in the heat.) I wouldn't be able to swim in the winter without the extra warmth this cap provides. It fits great. Some people have said it falls off when they do flip turns but I do not have that problem. A brand new cap feels a bit tight and they stretch out as you wear it, but that has not been a problem for me. I wear it about 4 times a week and need to replace it every year. I love this cap.

Warm wear is misleading. I wear it for longer hair and a very comfortable fit. The combination of lycra and silicone works well and I don't overheat even when training in 83 degree water.

Thought swim caps were water-proof...Not so but to keep hair from the pool.  This cap is great for that!
