Zone3 Neoprene Swim Cap - Orange

The cap is crafted from 4mm Super-Stretch neoprene, specifically designed for thermal insulation and flexibility. It also includes Nylon, likely as an inner or outer layer for comfort and durability.

The cap features an adjustable Velcro strap under the chin. You should adjust this strap to achieve a snug fit that keeps water out and provides warmth, without feeling uncomfortably tight or restrictive.

This cap is primarily designed for cold water swimming, providing excellent thermal protection. For warmer water conditions, a thinner cap might be more appropriate.
