I ordered this swim cap in red. I used it for the first time this morning. I prefer silicone over latex as it's easier to put on & take off. The problem with this particular one is that it only partially covers the ears. I could pull it down to cover them but then it would ride up after a few minutes. It was a battle my entire swim session constantly pulling the cap back over my ears. I prefer to wear a swim cap that covers the ears complately so I'm not getting water in them.
