Product Information

Full details

The TYR Silicone Comfort Swim Cap is designed for competitive swimmers, casual pool users, and athletes in training who prioritize comfort and ease of use. Its primary benefit is a snag-free, heat-retaining design that protects hair without the pulling often associated with standard silicone caps, though users should note that the white material may be more translucent than darker colorways when wet.

FAQs

Is this cap suitable for long hair?

Yes, the polyester interior is specifically designed to minimize hair snagging, making it a great choice for long hair.

Can I use this for racing?

While it is comfortable for training, some competitive swimmers prefer thinner 100% silicone caps for maximum streamlining during races.

Will this cap keep my hair completely dry?

No swim cap is 100% waterproof. It will keep your hair contained and reduce exposure to chlorine, but some water may seep in around the edges.

How do I store the cap to keep it from sticking?

Ensure the cap is completely dry and lightly dusted with talcum powder if you intend to store it for long periods to prevent the silicone from sticking to itself.

Can I use this in salt water?

Yes, just be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove salt residue.

Troubleshooting

The cap slides off during swimming

Ensure all hair is tucked completely inside the cap; if the cap is too large, consider positioning it slightly lower over the ears.

The cap feels difficult to pull on

Wet your hair slightly before putting on the cap, or ensure your hair is bundled compactly at the crown of your head.

Developing an odor

Wash the interior with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to put on compared to standard silicone caps
  • Soft interior is gentle on hair and prevents snags
  • Durable silicone exterior maintains its shape well over time
  • Effective at keeping the head warm in lower-temperature pools

Cons

  • The white color can become slightly translucent when fully submerged
  • May offer slightly less compression than 100% pure silicone racing caps
  • Requires more thorough drying to prevent odors compared to non-lined caps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To put on the cap, hold it with both hands inside the cap, palms facing each other, and gently stretch it open. Place the front of the cap at your forehead and pull it back over the crown of your head.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse the cap thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove chlorine and pool chemicals.
  2. Do not wring or twist the cap; simply pat it dry with a towel.
  3. Allow the cap to air dry completely, ideally out of direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the silicone.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid contact with sharp objects like hairpins or jewelry that could tear the material.
