Description

What it is

A neoprene swim cap for open water.

Who it's for

Anyone who has bought the wetsuit and still gets out shaking. Once the rest of you is insulated, your head is where the heat leaves - and it is by far the cheapest part of the problem to fix. A cap costs a fraction of a suit and buys you a surprising amount of extra time in the water.

Key details

Neoprene traps a layer of warmth against your scalp instead of letting cold water pull it away. Pull it on over a silicone race cap or under one, whichever you prefer.

Like all neoprene caps it takes a few swims to mould to your head. It will feel stiffer on day one than it ever does again.

How it compares

A silicone cap keeps hair out of your face and does essentially nothing for warmth. This is thermal equipment - a different piece of kit doing a different job.

FAQ's

How much difference does a neoprene cap make?
A large one in cold water. Once your body is insulated your head is where the warmth goes, so covering it extends how long you can comfortably stay in.

Can I wear it with a race cap?
Yes. Most swimmers wear a silicone cap over the top, which also holds your goggle straps in place.

Why does it feel stiff at first?
Neoprene caps take a few swims to mould to the shape of your head. It settles quickly and fits better every time.

Will it keep my hair dry?
No - it is there for warmth rather than to keep water out. Nothing worn for swimming keeps hair properly dry.

How do I look after it?
Rinse in fresh water after every swim and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun.
