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

I have a large head and swim caps don’t usually stay on. This one works great!

Muy bien

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.

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.

Pretty tight but maybe my head is enormous

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 have been buying this cap for years, tyr overall quality has gone down as well a price, but this cap is way too small now I thought I got sent a child’s cap instead. Could be this new recycled material or shrinkflation😂

I like using the lycra caps because they help keep my head cool when I'm swimming laps. I usually replace it after about 6 months - it starts to lose its elasticity and fades in the chlorinated water. But I just replace it with a new one. Works great!
