TYRLatex Swim Cap for Men and Women, Recreational Swimming Hat, Lightweight Hair Protection and Drag Reduction

Had this for over a year and it's as good a new! I swim 3-4 times a week and rinse it off after every swim. The cap before this was a Speedo, and it tore within a year. Tyr is much better!

It fits perfectly and keeps my hair dry!

This is my second one. First one lasted only a couple of seasons. Very thin latex but does the job

Good protection from chlorine in the pool

I swim every day, the reviews showed that the swim cap stays in place, it does not. I thought maybe my hair was too long, but now that I cut my hair, it still slides up and I constantly have to adjust the cap. It does feel comfortable and has been durable so far.

I recently purchased a latex swimming cap with the intention of keeping my hair dry while swimming. However, my experience with this particular cap has been quite frustrating. In this review, I will outline the difficulties I encountered, including its tightness, unpleasant odor, and the potential damage it may cause to my hair.Overview of the Latex Swimming Cap:The latex swimming cap I purchased was marketed as an effective solution for hair protection during swimming. It is designed to fit snugly around the head, creating a barrier against water.Difficulty in Wearing:Putting on this latex swimming cap proved to be a major challenge. The cap's extreme tightness and lack of flexibility made it a struggle to stretch over my head. Each time I attempted to wear it, I faced significant resistance and had to exert extra effort to get it in place.Excessive Tightness and Discomfort:Once I managed to finally wear the cap, the tightness became immediately apparent. It applied excessive pressure to my forehead and scalp, causing discomfort and a sense of constriction. The tight fit was not only uncomfortable but also impeded proper blood circulation, resulting in an unpleasant sensation while swimming.Unpleasant Odor:One noticeable drawback of this latex swimming cap was the strong, unpleasant odor it emitted. The smell was evident even before wearing the cap, but it became even more pronounced when it came into contact with water. Unfortunately, this lingering odor transferred to my hair, leaving it with an undesirable scent that was difficult to eliminate.Potential Hair Damage:Contrary to its intended purpose of protecting hair, the tightness of the latex swimming cap raised concerns about potential damage. The constant pressure and friction caused by the cap could lead to hair breakage, tangles, and discomfort. Instead of safeguarding my hair, it seemed that this cap had the potential to worsen its condition.Final Thoughts and Recommendation:In conclusion, the latex swimming cap I purchased has been a disappointing and uncomfortable choice for an average adult. The challenges I encountered, including the difficulty in wearing, excessive tightness, unpleasant odor, and potential hair damage, outweigh any potential benefits. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this latex swimming cap to others seeking a comfortable and effective solution for keeping their hair dry while swimming.It would be wise to explore alternative swimming cap options, such as those made from silicone, which are known to provide a more comfortable fit and a better overall swimming experience

Served its purpose

I could not get silicone caps to stay on my head and would have to adjust multiple times while swimming. This cap is great! It stays in place but is not too tight. Great value.
