Description
For those looking for a balance between ease of putting on and hold: the coated fabric cap. How to choose the swimming cap material? FABRIC: Designed with a fabric similar to that of swimsuits, it is easy to put on without pulling the hair. A finishing stitch surrounds the head to ensure a secure fit. COATED FABRIC: A variation of the fabric cap, which is just as comfortable. It is coated with a layer of silicone that reduces water ingress and limits its elasticity for a better hold. SILICONE: Less comfortable, but very elastic, it provides an excellent hold and limits water ingress. Are there other types of swimming caps? There are several alternatives to standard swimming caps that adapt to everyone's needs: - brushing caps: made of fabric, they are very stretchy. - waffle caps: made of latex, they do not pull the hair when putting them on. - volume or extra-volume caps: silicone caps, their shape leaves more space for heads with a lot of hair. - moulded caps: made of silicone, these are the caps used by competitors. - neoprene caps: perfect for open water swimming. How to choose the right size swimming cap? S, M, L, one size… How to find your way? The choice is quite simple: fabric and coated fabric caps have sizes (S, M, L), while silicone caps are designed in one size because they are very elastic. To help you find your way, here is a small guide based on your head circumference: - XS: 50-52 cm. (available in the baby section) - S: 53-56 cm. - M: 56-59 cm. - L: 59-62 cm. - One size: from 53 to 62 cm. How to put on the swimming cap? Did you know? Swimming caps have an orientation! Fabric caps have a central band that goes from front to back. On silicone swimming caps, the fold line (visible when the cap is flat) is designed to go in the same direction as the previous ones. Put both hands together inside the cap. Spread your hands (and fingers) to create space and put the cap on. At the front, it should sit approximately one finger above the eyebrows. Why should I wear a swimming cap? There are two aspects to consider. First of all, wearing a cap is a sign of respect for the place you are visiting. By keeping hair in place, it helps protect the quality of the water and equipment, and ensures the hygiene of the pool or pond. Secondly, you also wear it for yourself. The cap protects hair from damage caused by water, chlorine (or other treatments) and salt (or other contaminants). This coated fabric swimming cap offers you the best of fabric and silicone. It is easy to put on while ensuring a good hold and limiting water entry during your sessions. Ease of putting on / taking off An easy-to-put-on cap thanks to its stretchy coated fabric. Product hold
