TYR Cold Water Swim Cap

Picked this up and just went out for my fist open water swim with it. A little chilly ocean temps but Wore jammers (no wetsuit) and wow, can’t believe what a huge difference having that lightly insulated cap made to my comfort level vs. last swim a couple weeks back. Not bulky at all. Super comfortable and very effective! Read more

Fairly comfortable. I do have a large head (not a big head as in coming out of MIT/PENN/HARVARD or whatever "distinguished" liberal school) and it DOES fit me reasonably well. Initially, it may seem tight, but as you wear it, it probably loosens up. Given today's American life that comes with so much B/S i have lost most of my hair and this cap does keep my head warm as i do indoor laps in an Olympic sized pool full of bleach. As far as durability - i mean, i just got it guys - slow down with reviewing! - too hard to say, but i do enjoy the product. For me it was worth spending the so called money. Read more

Our municipal pool barely heats the water. This cap really makes a difference keeping me from being cold my entire swim. Maybe the thermal caps with the chin straps are necessary for swimming in open water, but for swimming laps in a pool, this stays put on my head, just like a regular swim cap. Read more

Great swim cap this is the second season wearing it, so I can say it's very durable. It says for cold weather, but I use it in the summer for laps in an outdoor pool and it get hot 35 to 40 Celsius, which is 95 to 104 Fahrenheit. Good for long hair. Ease to put on and take off, tight but not uncomfortably so. Never had the chance to wear in opened cold water. Read more

I'm always cold in the pool. This has proven to be a game changer. Definitely keeps the heat in. I've purchased a few for friends as well. Great product. Read more

I wear a 7 5/8 to 7 3/4 hat size. I wanted a cap to keep my bald head warmer when swimming in winter. This one seems well made. The materials was softer than pure rubber. But it is way too tight for my admittedly big head. I couldn’t stand it for even a 1 minute test wearing at home so I had to send it back. It would give me an instant headache and no doubt leave a tourniquet like band around my skull. Read more

Nice tight cap - works for even my big head (tad tight but became more comfortable over time). Feels warmer than a silicon cap. I'm buying another one since the one I have had for a couple of years is starting to become thin - they do last longer than jammers so no complaints. If your a competition swimmer in pools then just go for the silicon ones but for recreational swimmers you will appreciate the slightly warmer head. Read more

I love this swim cap. It is very comfortable, fits well, is easy to put on, covers my ears, and keeps my head warm. I liked it alone but now use it with my old TYR silicone swim cap on top to keep my hair a little dryer. With this swim cap and my wet suit jacket and pants, I stay very warm for my swim in the cold pool water when I used to get white, numb fingers after 30 minutes or less. I would highly recommend this swim cap. Read more
