TYR Lycra Fiber Adult Swim Cap for Women and Men - Recreational and Training Cap for Lap Swimming, Casual Use - UPF 50+ Sun Protection - Nylon/Lycra

To me this is the best swim cap because it removes the hair pulling and seemingly never drying aspects of the silicone swim caps. This swim cap is so comfortable that I usually forget that I am wearing one after an hour in the lap pool. This is also the only swim cap that I have found that stays in place lap after lap without need for readjustment as the silicon version always road up after launch.The material is soft and very easy to put and take off. If. you wet your hair completely before putting on the swim cap I have found that chlorine "green hair" it not a problem. I am working on replacing all my silicone swim caps with these.

As a free diving fanatic, this cap is perfect. I am a female with a large head and a lot of hair. I had been looking for a solution to my mask strap irritation where your hair wraps around while swimming and rips it out when you take your mask off. I have tried all the nice gadgets and bandanas that go over the band and your hair still gets tangled and pulled out. This cap is perfect, I can twist my hair, put it in the cap and it stays in place and my hair remains stationary and does not get all tangled. Easy to put on without pulling and does not move around on my head while I'm wearing it. Tt is very comfortable to wear and feels secure not tight. My mask strap no longer gets tangled in my hair and when I am done diving for the day it is much easier to wash my hair without all the tangles that I used to have. For free diving on reefs it is perfect and also protects my scalp from sun burn. My daughter has very long hair as well and said she would not wear one as she did not like the idea of a bathing cap, however, during our outing when I was done for the day and she was still trying to get her hair untangled she decided to try it and loves it too! Just ordered additional caps to keep us both happy.

I like this cap, but boy does it run small. I wouldn’t recommend for a man or anyone with lots of hair that needs to fit under the cap

This is perfect for step 1 of the double cap method. Snug as a bug for my massive hair!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:TYR is a reputable brand, the product was reasonably priced.Hair hold:It holds hair pretty well but I have short hair so didn't really test it. It fits very tightly around your head even with my short hair. Durability:Poor durability is the main reason why I give it only 3 stars. It lasted about 4 months and then the elastic fibers started breaking. Other swim caps usually last me about 9-12 months with regular 3 swims per week.Thickness:Very thin, very comfortable.Coverage:Covers the whole head if you have short hair. If you have long hair, you'll struggle fitting it in.

Solid product. Previous one worked well for more than 4 years before I lost it. Greatly recommended.

I really like the Lycra style caps and was so glad to find this one. I find the regular silicone (traditional or plastic) caps creep up my head as I swim so I have to stop my swim to yank my cap back down. I find that the Lycra style doesn’t ride up with wear and it doesn’t squeeze my ears against my head (if you have higher piercings you know what I mean). It’s not a matter of I don’t want to pause for a few seconds, my cap creeping up and yanking it back down can mess with my goggle seal. If you’re a swimmer you know that you put your goggles on and then you leave them alone, if you start to try to adjust them during a swim their seal with your skin will be broken and your goggles will leak.As for your hair under the cap, you should always wet your hair before you get into the pool because your hair is going to soak in the first water it meets, so you should wet your hair with tap water so it doesn’t absorb chlorinated water. No swim cap will keep your hair dry except those vintage ones from the 1950s with the chin strap, and since you should be wetting your hair anyway, why not wear the most comfortable swim cap. That’s why I like the Lycra caps, I think they’re 100% more comfortable than the silicone kind. You will still need to rinse your swim cap, but unlike a silicone cap, you don’t need to powder your Lycra cap after each wearing.Swim caps aren’t for keeping your hair dry while you swim, they are for keeping your hair out of your face and blocking your vision while you swim. The silicone style caps work by squeezing your head to stay in place, that is why they tend to creep up or simply pop off while you’re swimming. The Lycra style swim caps sit on your head and perform their function without relying on squeezing your head, that’s why many people find them more comfortable. And because they don’t squeeze your head any piercings in your ears won’t become weapons stabbing your head, they will simply be what they are, piercings.

I'm 5'2 and a junior sized woman with a small head, I read that people thought this swim cap had a tight fit, figuring it would fit me and not be tight, I do find it tight and can't wear it long periods of time, that's where it lost a star. I use this in the water near the surf, it will not keep your hair dry, but it does keep my hair in place and not swishing in the surf. This works well with the snorkel mask.
