I am a year round ocean swimmer, but dislike the confining feeling of neoprene under the chin-strap gear (wetsuits in general). This cap is a great find. It helps keep my head warmer than latex or silicone caps. The fit is great. My only wish is that it came in colors needed of ocean swimmers (yellow, red or orange or pink)
I teach swimming and this cap fulfills all of my needs. It is very comfortable, easy to put on and stays on. This cap really does keep my head warm so I stay warmer all over. I often swim at night when the air is around 60 degrees and do not get cold. I love this cap. I just wish it came in more colors. I will be buying more.
I am so much warmer with this cap. It is very easy to put on and very comfortable. If I could make a change, it would be to make it just a bit smaller, but it still works great just the way it is.
I purchased the TYR warm wear hat to wear in Lake Michigan for the Chicago triathlon. I wore it under the required swimcap and it kept me much warmer than swimming without it. My head was almost bone dry after the swim. I highly recommend it!
I'd almost give it 5 stars, but beware! I have a pretty small head, and this cap did fit me well. However, I can't do flip turns with this cap! It doesn't stay put well on my head and when I do try flip turns, lots of water gets in and collects on the top. If you do kick turns instead, this is the cap for you. Other than hindering my flip turns, this cap does keep your head really warm.
This cap actually keeps my head warmer than a normal cap does. I usually like only latex caps, but the open water has been chilly this year, so I thought I'd try something different. This cap does help. It's comfortable, stays put, and doesn't slide around like nonlatex caps can do. I recommend it.
