TYR Lycra Fiber Swim Cap, Streamlined Swimming Cap for Warm Waters

Unlike some reviewers, I find this cap to be true to size. I'm a 45-year-old woman, and it fits my head very well. It's snug enough that it doesn't come off in the water, but flexible and comfortable enough that I don't get a headache like I do with silicone swim caps. Also keep in mind that this is not meant to be waterproof. If that's what you need, a silicone cap will definitely keep more water off your hair than this will. I think this type of cap is designed more for hair containment, which in my case, it does well. I also appreciate the UPF rating of the fabric, since I live in a desert climate where the sun really beats down. If you do need your hair contained, but don't need waterproof, I highly recommend this cap! If you do need something waterproof, then silicone would likely be a better choice.

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.

Super comfortable, lightweight, breathable, uv protective. The perfect swim cap.

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.

Speedo and TYR are two of the few brands that still make nylon-Lycra swim caps that fit larger heads (over 7 5/8”), are slip resistant, and do not cover the ears. This design is not intended to keep hair dry. Instead, it keeps hair in place and out of your eyes. I like this cap because it gives excellent sun protection for a thinning scalp. I use it snorkeling, scuba diving, and casual swimming. It fits securely for those activities. It functions great for snorkeling and scuba diving because it doesn’t interfere with a mask or snorkel. Another bonus is that the cap keeps hair from getting tangled in the mask strap or snorkel connector. The fabric has held up well in strong sun, salt water, and after many washings. For anyone who needs a comfortable, ear-free swim cap with real UV coverage with value for the money, I highly recommend this cap.

I couldn't begin to get this cap on my head. It is a "one size fits some" hat.

I was honestly shocked by how small this swim cap is. I ordered an adult lycra swim cap so I would have a backup to a no-name brand swim cap that I use regularly. I expected this brand to be superior to the cap I’ve been wearing as I have TYR swimsuits and a TYR swim backpack that I love and use all the time. I actually have a small head and struggle with finding baseball hats that don’t cover half of my ears. This swim cap literally would not go over my head and after my husband helped me get it on my head it sat an inch above my ears. See the measurements in the pictures. I immediately processed a return and sent it back. Maybe I got a kid size in the wrong packaging??? The package was not sealed. If, in fact, what I received was an adult size cap the company needs to go back to the manufacturer and do some quality checks to make sure they are making the caps properly sized for adult-sized heads. Very disappointed!

Very soft, stretchy fabric. Best swim cap I have ever used

Piccola taglia da bambino

Muy buena la tela de la gorra, aunque recién nueva se siente muy ajustada, pero es muy cómoda con el paso de uso

Fits well. Lovely colour

On the small side but perfect for my daughter. Good value

it hurts the scalp a lot and is so tight. do not buy
