The swim cap is the first thing in your lane kit. BONESWIMMER makes it in two materials: silicone, stretchy and snug, and fabric, soft and light. Which one depends on what you want from a cap: more grip or more comfort.
Silicone swim cap: grip
Silicone stretches and holds: the cap stays put while you swim and cuts drag in the water. It is the classic pick for the pool and for training. On BONESWIMMER caps the print goes on both sides.
Silicone swim caps
Fabric swim cap: comfort
Fabric caps are soft, light and less stiff than silicone: made for anyone who finds silicone too tight. Our fabric caps are in Sydney Eco by Carvico, 51% recycled polyester from post-consumer bottles and 49% PBT, the same fabric as the Milano, Alte and Dega swimsuits. Lycra caps are polyamide and elastane: the exact composition is on each cap's page.

Is a fabric swim cap waterproof?
No. A fabric cap is soft and light, but it will not keep your hair dry. Want more grip, go silicone; want comfort, go fabric.
Matching cap and swimsuit
Plenty of prints in the range come on both the swimsuit and the cap, in silicone or fabric: Sushi, Puzzle, Tattoo, Camouflage, Teschi Messico and more. Your lane kit matches. Prefer a solid colour? That works too.
How to look after it
After the pool, rinse it in cold water and let it air-dry, away from heat.
Every cap, in silicone, Lycra and fabric, is in Swim caps for the pool.
