Actually, the purpose of a swim cap is to keep hair out of the face, and keep the body aerodynamic in the water, NOT keep hair dry. If you want one to protect your hair, the hair care aisle of yourr local drug store has those- they come with straps and flowers and everything.

Swim caps like this are not meant for a leisure swimmer- in fact, most swimmers WET their hair before putting on silicone or lycra caps to get them to stay put. For those of us who swim in warm water and/or climates, traditional swim caps are way too warm. If you swim competitively, you need to keep cool, and silicone and latex don't exactly offer that.

These are great caps- much nicer fitting than the TYR ones (which are tall and narrow, suitable for the coneheads among us, I suppose). They do wear out VERY quickly, both in salt and chlorinated water. But for the distance swimmer, they do their job nicely without causing headaches or being too loose. 4 stars

What I got is a small, simple thing, but it is exactly what I need,
and I could not find it in my neibourhood stores.

based on swimming 14 km weekly, this is a fine cap that lasts for a reasonable time (2 months). if you have lots of hair, this 1-size-fits-all may be slightly small (better too small than too big in a swim cap). as another review said, wet your hair first if necessary. i agree that durability is not great, but it is not too bad, and it is very comfortable, light, and cool. this is not a cold water cap. my first choice in caps is the nikko mesh, but it is not availbale in the US. i am tempted to give this 5 stars to help offset the review that said the cap cannot keep hair dry (this is a cap for swimmers). 4 stars

Doesn't fit on medium length thick curly hair. It's pretty uncomfortable but it's great quality. 3 stars

I originally was excited to be able to get a swim cap from a bookstore website. However, when the product arrived, I could not even get it on my head! It is so tight that it is painful! I wish the company would offer more than one size! I do like the color selections but wish the company would offer more than one size. 1 star
