Good Swim Cap on my review.

I am an adult with a small/medium sized head and thin, shoulder-length hair. This swim cap fits fine - if anything it's a little loose - but it does the job. I use swim caps because my ears get plugged if I swim without one, and although the edges of the cap flip up sometimes it does a good enough job at keeping the water out that I haven't had any problems.If you are looking for a swim cap to protect your hair from getting wet, this did not do the job for me. That being said, I have yet to…

Pros
  • Much less water in my ears & less pull on my hair. I’m so happy to have found this
Cons
  • It’s just ok. Thought it was going to be more water resistant than it is!

Two great kid friendly swimming caps for the price of one

I purchased these swim caps for my daughter specifically because of the size and ear cuffs. She has long hair and as the cold weather approaches, I didn't want to have her leave swim class with wet hair or risk an ear infection. When I opened the package, I thought perhaps they would be too big for her and not provide the coverage I was hoping for. Well,she used one today and not only did it fit perfectly- with room to grow into- but it went on easily, provided her full coverage and most…

Pros
  • Works very well to protect my hair! Very happy with this purchase.
Cons
  • The material may not breathe well, leading to discomfort during longer swims

Very comfortable, Great design.

Thanks to the team who designed this. The world needs more designers of this kind. My kids have long hair and they love to spend lot of time on pool. This is the exact kind I was looking for. The ear pockets lets them to cover their ear comfortably for long hours. The water never gets into hair even after 2 hours of time spent on pool.Now my wife don't have to worry about getting their hair soaked in chlorine water or water getting into their ears.

Pros
  • Hair still gets wet. Not what I wanted
Cons
  • cuesta un poco ponerla, no es tan facil com el video

not for swimmers with long hair.

Update after getting a Speedo long-hair swim cap:I just found out that no swim cap can prevent hair from getting soaked.and the friendly swede caps are high quality.Since I already bought a Speedo cap, I did not contact the Friendly Swede for additional help but I do appreciate the help they offer.====original comment==========not for swimmers with long hair.the bun made the position of the ear pockets not match the actual position of ears, leaving ears squeezed and pulled, and this caused…

Pros
  • Improves aerodynamics in the water
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean and maintain

works for longer hair

This is a bit thicker than the cheaper swim caps. It fits on well- over my pony tail. I really like the fact that it goes over my ears (I use ear plugs to keep water out) and does this without covering my forehead down to my eyes. I don't have a sense yet of how long it will last- but I am quite happy with it.

Pros
  • Protects hair from sun damage
Cons
  • May not be very eco-friendly or sustainable

Take note these are probably best for those with long hair.

I actually have very short hair and wasn't paying attention that these caps are for people with long hair. I was focused on the "ear cup" feature of the swim cap. I had just gotten over a horrible case of swimmers ear and was primarily looking for a cap that would help keep water out of my ears. That having been said, even though my hair doesn't fill the cap up, they are very effective in keeping water out of my ears! I still use earplugs but combined with the cap, it's doing the trick! The…

Pros
  • Great for keeping hair out of the face
Cons
  • The cap may not be chlorine resistant

It doesn't seem to stay on my head

I have used a couple of times and it tries to creep off my head, even with a snorkel and goggles on top of it. A more durable band at the edges around the ears could help keep it down over the ears, while doing laps. I finally took it off and swam without it. I have gone back to my other brand, unfortunately. A plus is that it seemed like durable material, but needs less forgiving, more stay in place design around the ears to keep the cap on.

Pros
  • ✅ SHOP SAFELY: Beginners and professional swimmers all over the US and Europe choose The Friendly Swede's swim gear for their training sessions. With over 7 years of experience, we've perfected our swim caps and offer our lifetime warranty.
Cons
  • Not very stylish or fashionable

Still looking for a cap for a larger head

I guess my head is larger than average, so I have a hard time finding a swim cap that is comfortable. My last one was by Aqua Sphere, but I couldn't find one of those on Best Buy so I tried this. To be fair, it is advertised as fitting people with long hair, not a large head. Like many other caps that I have seen, it has a "bump" at the back to accommodate long hair. But it doesn't stretch to fit a larger head. There you have it.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with large or irregularly shaped heads

I was really hoping these caps would work for my .

I was really hoping these caps would work for my 10 year old daughter who has VERY thick long hair. I had put her hair up and back and then put the cap over her hair following the instructions. It snugly fit over everything but as she started swimming the pressure from her hair and head made the cap gradually slip off so she was adjusting it every 5 minutes. Finally I had her remove it completely because it was more of an annoyance than help during her swim lessons. It might work for…

Pros
  • Made from durable silicone material
Cons
  • May not be thick enough to keep hair completely dry

Does it's job on my review.

The blue one my 8yr old accidently ripped trying to put it on herself. The black one is still holding up really well. It's comfortable for my child. It's snug but not brain squeezing tight. Water still gets in and typically the edges and back hair is wet after swimming. No swim cap alive will keep the hair completely dry bc that's not their sole purpose. The purpose of a swim cap is to reduce drag and keep hair outta the pool drain. It's a plus if you can reduce chlorine absorbtion bc it's very

Pros
  • Easy to care for and maintain
Cons
  • May not provide enough coverage for the back of the head

Good but a little hard to put on

I ordered these for my Mom who has an ear issue and can't allow water to get into her ear but loves to swim. These are pretty effective, but she has to make sure that it is posioned just right. Also, these are quite difficult to put on, so people with arthritis in their hands will have a hard time. I waited for a while to post anything because I wanted to report on durability. She has only used one so far for several months. No tears and it is still tight. By the way, you do not need long hair…

Pros
  • Can be adjusted for a custom fit
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people who wear glasses

Finally a really good swim cap

After trying and discarding several silicone swim caps—too tight, wouldn't stay on, headache-inducing, pulled my hair, etc.—I was happy to find that this cap goes on easily, stays put, effectively keeps water out of my ears, and offers the just-right amount of snugness without squeezing my brain. I've worn it for a couple hours at a time and never felt the urge to yank it off. As a bonus, the logo is small and discreet.

Pros
  • Provides excellent swimmer visibility in the water
Cons
  • May increase drag in the water

Great fit and comfort

I like this cap because it covers your ears so you don't feel like you need to pull it down constantly. I am a petite person and the fit is good for me. It is not so tight that it hurts your head like the Speedo swim caps. Please note that it does not keep my hair dry. As far as my research shows, no swim cap is designed to keep your hair dry. They say maybe wearing two caps at the same time but I think that's overkill. If you accept your hair will be wet then I definitely recommend this swim…

Pros
  • Ideal for training, swimming laps, or open water swimming
Cons
  • May not be comfortable to wear for extended periods of time

Fits Comfortably on my review.

These swim caps totally protect my hair. I have fine hair and the chlorine causes so much hair breakage and I totally recommend this swim cap. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pros
  • Helps to conserve body heat during swimming
Cons
  • May not be very versatile, only suitable for swimming

Beautiful colors & Exceptional Quality

I highly recommend this swim cap to anyone! I absolutely LOVE THEM. My girls (6 & 3) are currently in swim lessons through the YMCA. There were six parents, whose children were also taking swim lessons, and their daughter’s hair was drenched. The parents were discussing where they purchased the swim caps at and how much they had spent. They were completely in awe at how these swim caps kept my girls hair COMPLETELY dry. I recommend this swim cap for all hair types. My girls frequently wear…

Pros
  • Prevents hair from getting tangled
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with long beards or facial hair

Comfortable swim cap

It was delivered on time and I have used it twice. As described, it is stretchy and goes on easily. I have shoulder length hair and the cap is big enough and pretty comfortable. Way too soon to know how durable it will be. Since I wet my hair with clear water before using the cap I cannot say if it would keep anyone's hair dry.

Pros
  • I find these swim caps great for my short hair. I do not fill there is room for long hair.
Cons
  • May not fit all head sizes

Lasted but NOT for Big, Fluffy, Hair

If you have big, curly, lovely fluffy hair this may be difficult. I have used both on my head and I think I have a smaller head than most. Keeps the water out. I don't think I used only one. No allergic reaction which is great. Covered my ears pretty well. It has lasted long for me. I also take care of it. I rinse after a swim in a pool and I let it air dry.Bigger size needed for bigger hair.

Pros
  • Resistant to harsh pool chemicals
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with hair extensions or weaves

Loose on pre-teen best in my review

I need to put this out there for people buying this for 11 year olds with long hair. Is just too big. My girl has hair past her waist, but she says this is loose around the ears and kept squeezing water out while she was swimming. But it’s a good cap. Just maybe too big for a pre teen

Pros
  • Yes it works but my daughter still get wetted because its so airtight that she sweats a lot ..
Cons
  • Hair may still get wet with prolonged use

Nice Swim Caps for my opinion

I wanted to use the caps a few times before I wrote a review. The caps appear to made of a nice material, and the fit is ample for my 20.5 - 21 inch head, comfortable, not too tight. The material appears quite acceptable, not cheaply thin. I also have very thin hair so someone with more hair and/or a larger head may have better luck than I as the water seemed to pool on the bottom of the "ear shelf" and got into my ears. I don't believe any strapless swim cap will keep the water out completely,

Pros
  • Provides ample space for long hair
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with hearing aids or ear plugs

Easiest Cap - EVER in my review

I've been swimming for over 30 years, and these caps are the easiest I've ever used. I bought them for my daughter, 8yrs old, and she is able to place them on her forehead and fit them over her head - even with dry hair! She needs no help from me putting on her swim cap. The pockets on either side of the caps are not overly-spacious, but do provide some relief from pressure on the ear. You do not need to have long hair to wear these caps, but they stretch so beautifully that they can…

Pros
  • Keeps hair dry and protected
Cons
  • May not be very breathable, leading to overheating
