Swim Cap Silicone with Ergonomic FIT - Best Swimming Performance Apparel for Long Hair Watergear Comfort

I have an unusual head-situation. I'm a guy with a big head AND long hair. Most swim caps eventually work their way off my head, usually at the forehead first. Then a little water gets in between the cap and my head... then the water eventually pulls the cap off, and I have to stop and re-adjust. It's a pain.THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN UPDATED. First cap broke in the back as I went to put it on. Returned to Amazon and contacted the seller. They sent me a new one free of charge. Now that I have one...It's a solid swim cap. I think I'll need to tweak how I wear my hair inside it - I've tried a couple of ways, and some are better than others - but this cap is better than most. The ear-pockets don't really cover my ears completely, but -- like I said. Big head. Other than that, it's comfy and mostly stays on. Would buy again.

This is the best fitting, most stretchable and comfortable cap I've worn. I'm on my second - problem is , it tore down the back after 3 months of use (about 36 swims). I got my first one after struggling with the regular caps, which were much too tight, and my hair isn't that long. This one goes on like a dream. The outlines for where the ears are supposed to go are superfluous, as my ears go where my ears go. I got this type cap after a really terrible ear infection, and haven't gotten sick since. It doesn't keep your hair dry, or keep all of the water out of the ears, but it helps comfort-wise. Until I find a better cap, I guess I'll continue buying these, altho they are too pricey to keep replacing. Maybe I'll just cut my hair off and use earplugs. Still, they are really comfortable and easy to put on.

I don't feel the need for the ear pockets on the sides. This isn't my favorite swim cap but I do like it. I keep it in with my travel items so it's with me on trips in case I get a chance to do lap swimming. No cap will keep your hair completely dry unless you have a small head and your hair doesn't grow beyond the edge of the cap. Any hairs you have sticking out will wick in water to a degree. But that's not the point of a cap. It keeps your hair out of your face and out of the pool.I like this cap but will stick with my Speedo for long hair for regular swim workouts.

I have thin, straight, slightly below chin length hair and a slightly larger head than most women. My ears are somewhat dainty. I thought having the extra ear room might prevent water from leaking in, and perhaps it does help, but alas water did seep through the hairline in front/back/sides. Not nearly as bad as with my previous caps, where my entire head would get wet.This is slightly thicker and thus easier to get on (no fear of poking holes) than my other caps, and it does not Stick together when dry.The first swim I did not put my hair in a pony tail, and there was very little leakageThe 2nd swim I put my hair up into a pony tail. PLENTY of room in the cap, yet I had quite a bit of leakage.Today I will try again without using pony tail and see if it's any better.My particular problem is I use the wax ear plugs and with the extra room at the ears, this cap does not hold those ear plugs in place. So when this cap leaks, the water can seep into my ears.I found that if I put the goggle strap a little lower on the back of my head, it helps limit the amount of water seeping through.Still, it's better than any other cap I currently own.

As a male with longer hair, I want to be sure to respect others using the pool as well as keep my hair out of my face when I am swimming so a swim cap is mandatory. I have used swim caps before and generally have no problem with fit and this one is no exception. It fits well. The silicone is definitely more comfortable than regular rubber ones I've used in the past.I particularly love the ear flaps. While they don't completely keep water away from my ears, they do protect them to an excellent degree. If you wanted better protection than this you would probably have to go with a chin strap which I am really not ready to do. I appreciate this extra protection because water in my ears has caused great annoyance and pain in my life and has kept me from doing more swimming than I would like.I feel like I paid a little more for this swim cap than I would have some others, but the quality is totally worth the price.

I ordered this because I have a larger head, and all the other silicon caps I've tried were uncomfortably tight. But unfortunately, it does not keep water out of the ears as advertised. I buzz my hair, so that may have something to do with it - but probably not, since without a bunch of long hair in the way, it seems like it would hug your head better, and therefore keep the water out better. Even with the cap pulled as far down on my head as it will go (in the front it covers my eyebrows), water still gets into my ears. And worse yet, because of the design on the cap, once the water's in my ears, it's held in my ears by the cap. So I'm regularly having to stop and drain my ears out. My coaches recommended ear plugs when I mentioned this, but then I wouldn't be able to hear them.So the fit is great for larger heads - but don't expect it to keep the water out of your ears; in fact it will probably hold the water in your ears, which is the exact opposite of what's advertised.

I purchased this cap for my 3 year-old grand daughter who has very beautifully big, curly, African American hair. I tie her hair in a ponytail for her swim lessons. This cap accommodates her hair and pony tail very well, does not tug at her hairline at all, and seals her hairline very well. According to her this cap is ultra comfortable, evident by the lack of complaints or tugging or even touching the cap even once during her lesson. Her ears are very comfortably cupped in the indentations. Her hair gets minimally damp in one or two spots but I understand that the cap is to keep your hair in place, not to keep it completely dry. Very few kids in the swimming school wear a cap and so are continuously fussing with hair on their faces. Bottom line: I am so very pleased with this cap that I am ready to purchase another color to go with her other swimsuits. I have recommended it to many parents at the school.
