A swimming cap is a must-have item of equipment when going to an indoor swimming pool. They help minimize the risk of clogging filters in city pools. Which swimming cap should you choose? Check out the offers below and choose a good quality swimming cap for yourself.
Many of us have become accustomed to swimming in a cap and have tested various types of caps on our own heads during regular visits to the swimming pool. However, many still consider it an uncomfortable accessory and, if possible, choose open waters where caps are not required. Let's not forget, however, that a cap also has its advantages. If you have long hair, a head covering will significantly improve the comfort of your swimming. Additionally, thanks to it, you are able to achieve higher speeds in the water, due to reduced resistance. If you choose the right model and put it on properly, you can cross the discomfort of wearing it off the list of reasons why you avoid the pool.
Which swimming cap should I choose?
When looking for the right cap for yourself, you should consider the size (age) and what you expect from it (whether it should protect against water, hold hair, ensure ease of putting on, etc.). There are 3 main types of caps on the market - divided by the material the product is made of. Depending on your needs, you can choose one of the caps: silicone, latex or made of lycra.
The silicone cap is the most popular swimming cap. It is made of plastic, so it does not let water through. Many people have trouble putting it on - if it is not put on properly, it pulls the hair and is not comfortable. However, when it is put on correctly, these problems disappear. Silicone caps also hold our hair the most stably, they do not slip off the head like fabric caps. They are more durable than other types and are easy to remove. If you are looking for the best cap for long hair, you should also consider this type - specifically looking for a cap with an extended back. This type will effectively hold a large amount of hair - it is more durable and longer than standard models.
Latex cap – a lighter alternative to the silicone cap. It has similar properties, but is lighter, thinner and therefore more comfortable.
A fabric cap is a product for those looking for comfort. A characteristic feature of this type of cap is that it allows water to pass through. However, it is easier to put on and take off than a cap made of rubber.
Regardless of whether you are a person who regularly visits the pool or one who is not convinced and swims in such places once a month or less often - a cap is a product that is worth having at home. You will find a wide selection of caps from proven brands in our store.
