FAQs
What makes this cap 'recycled'?
The cap is made from 50% virgin silicone raw material and 50% recycled silicone, which is waste material generated during the production process of silicone products.
Will this cap protect my hair from chlorine?
Yes, like other silicone swim caps, it helps protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine.
How is the recycled material performance different from virgin silicone?
The recycled material is designed to be hardwearing and perform similarly to virgin silicone, providing durability and protection without snagging or pulling hair.
Is this cap suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for regular swimming, its secure fit and protective qualities make it suitable for training and fitness-focused swimming.
How do I clean my Speedo Recycled Cap?
Rinse the cap thoroughly with cold, fresh water after each use. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
What is the expected lifespan of this cap?
The cap is made from durable, hardwearing silicone designed for long-lasting wear under normal swimming conditions.
Can I use this cap in saltwater pools or open water?
While primarily designed for chlorinated pools, the silicone material offers resistance. However, rinsing thoroughly after any exposure is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or uncomfortable
Gently stretch the cap before putting it on. Ensure hair is neatly tucked inside without excess bulk. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size for your head.
Hair still getting wet
Ensure the cap is fully covering your hair and that there are no gaps around the edges, especially at the temples and back of the neck. Adjust the fit for a tighter seal.
Cap develops small tears or holes
Avoid sharp objects, fingernails, or excessive stretching when putting on or taking off the cap. Inspect the cap for any pre-existing damage before use.
Difficulty removing the cap without pulling hair
Gently peel the cap away from your head starting from the front, working your way back. Dampening the cap slightly with water can sometimes ease removal.
