Orca High-Vis Neoprene Swim Cap

The Orca Hi-Vis Neoprene Swim Cap is a 2.5 mm neoprene cap for open-water swimming in cold water. Fluorescent orange and black panels keep you visible at a distance, the cap comes down over the ears, and a hook-and-loop strap under the chin adjusts the fit. It comes in S/M, L/XL and XL/XXL.

What it is

A neoprene swim cap for open water that does two jobs at once: it keeps your head warm, and it makes you easy to spot. The cap is 2.5 mm neoprene, shaped to come down over the ears, and it closes with a hook-and-loop strap under the chin.

Who it's for

Anyone who has bought the wetsuit and still gets out shaking. Orca build this cap for cold open water, and for swimmers who want to be seen at a distance.

Key details

• Warmth: 2.5 mm neoprene between your head and the water.
• Visibility: fluorescent orange panels, with black, so you show up at a great distance.
• Fit: the hook-and-loop chin strap adjusts the cap to the shape of your head.
• Coverage: the sides come down over the ears.

Getting the size right

Measure around your head and use Orca's chart. S/M fits a head circumference of 53-58 cm (head length 34-39 cm), and L/XL fits 55-60 cm (head length 36-42 cm). We also stock an XL/XXL for larger heads; Orca's chart does not give its figures.

The cap is cut for men and women.
