It doesn't weigh much and I can tell it’s entirely from silicone. I can feel it has a much stronger grip compared to traditional nylon caps.
I see a textured pattern on the swim cap's outer surface. It also has shaped ear sections, so I can distinguish the correct orientation for wearing. To minimize pressure and enhance comfort, I avoid wearing any hair ties or pins under the cap. Since my hair reaches down to my hips, I don't use any bands or clips to secure it. I simply twist my hair at the back and tuck it under the cap, which keeps it neatly contained while swimming without the need for additional accessories.
I've found that the cap's front edges should just slightly touch the outer tips of my eyebrows for optimal comfort; positioning it any higher causes me discomfort and even headaches. I use a mirror to ensure it's positioned correctly when putting it on.
It fits me very snugly. And I think it would be too much of a snug fit if one’s head is on the larger side. But this close fit does come with the benefit of keeping my very long hair and ears completely dry. My blonde hair from the bottle stays protected from turning green from the chlorine in the water. And I don't think I will suffer from swimmer's ear again from too much water exposure.
I can easily clean and dry it after my swims since its surface is so smooth unlike those corrugated nylon caps which can trap dirt and sand. The edges are slightly thicker, adding a bit more protection. I think the cap is almost indestructible. I've been wearing it for my swims for almost two months and whether I'm pulling it on in a hurry or accidentally snagging it, it holds up without any tears while all my nylon caps get tiny tears after just a few uses.
