Swimmers with long hair prefer to wear a silicone bathing cap because the cap is more accommodating to their volume of hair. The cap is exceptionally durable, resistant to tearing and hypoallergenic. The cap is extremely flexible and has an incredibly soft feel.
Swimmers in open water may need additional warmth, as silicone is much thicker than latex, they can gain that extra warmth through their bathing cap. Silicone caps are easier to put on and take off, allowing for minimal to no hair breakage and no strand stresses.
Silicone is an excellent choice for athletes swimming in competitions, lap swimming or simply training. In all these activities the silicon swim cap fits closely keeping the hair dry and safe from the harmful effects of chlorine and other pool additives. Silicone also holds its shape after repeated wearings and exposure to the sun and pool chemicals.
