NOTE ON HOW TO PUT IT ON:  People intuitively want to put their head into the bigger of the two openings, but that won't work. Put your head first into the small opening of the cap as that part goes around your neck and the big part is your face. You'll know if you have it on correctly when the GreenGoma logo is on the back of your head.

FEATURES:

  • 3 mm GreenGoma™ #9 Limestone derivative rubber for insulation and warmth
  • A thin profile chinstrap maximizes comfort, while minimizing the potential for chafing and breathing obstruction
  • This cap will add 5-7 degrees (F) of warmth and water temperature comfort
  • Added buoyancy of the head makes it easier to lift the head to site and breathe
  • Back of the neck is cut high to avoid chafing while sitting or wading in water 

A TIP FROM EMILIO: Swimming in really cold water? Try Emilio's GreenGoma™ Swim Cap Sandwich

Ingredients: 1 GreenGoma™ Swim Cap, 2 latex rubber or silicone swim caps.

  1. Put on the first latex rubber swim cap. Make sure it covers your temples and forehead.
  2. Put on the GreenGoma™ Swim Cap over the first latex swim cap. Again and more importantly, make sure it covers your temples and forehead and that it sits just above your eyebrows as shown in the photo. This will eliminate "Brain Freeze", or "Ice Cream Headache."
  3. Finally put on the last latex cap. Make sure it covers the front and back of the GreenGoma Swim Cap.

If done properly, your hair will most likely be dry when you exit the water, but more importantly, your head and your body will stay warm...and your fingers will actually work! I have raced Escape from Alcatraz over a dozen times (twice without a wetsuit). I have raced in the Puget Sound, the English Bay in Vancouver, and in the Milford Sound on New Zealand's South Island. All are races where the water temperature was between 48 - 54 degrees F (9 - 12 degrees C). This Sandwich works...I guarantee it!

    Long Lasting

    Great for Winter swimming and Winter hotspringing. I hope the rear seam is now more reinforced than my two previous one's

    Tight on long/medium heads

    My head is a bit long and skinny. I'm 5'9 and 160lb. The cap feels great if I look up, but it chokes me in a neutral head position, and especially when I look down. A great cap for people with symmetrical/smaller heads though.

    Comfortable and warm

    Compliments my T1 wave zip long sleeve Green Goma top. Keeps me nice and warm in the waters of SanFrancisco which range from a low of 47’ to a high of 65’. Very satisfied

    Neoprene Swim Cap

    My original cap from your company was thicker, warmer. This one is thin. I wonder why?

    Escape from Alcatraz

    Used in this years Escape Triathlon . Super cold Water and crazy currents . Thank goodness for the T1 wetsuit and Swim Cap. Had a super hard but good swim and was thankful for the extra movement thru the 2 piece allowing for more power thru the shoulders. 43 minute swim was longer than I wanted but after seeing everyone else’s times I was happy. Head stayed warm and no brain freeze in the water.

    Not big enough for people with hair

    I love Desoto products including cap but it needs to be bigger to accommodate hair

    wet suit and cap

    i also bought a suit w/ the cap. both are excellent for warmth and flexibility. Not sure if i'm moving any faster, but that wasnt my goal. it's a joy to be in the water even in low to mid 50's temps.

    Great Swim Cap

    I swim several days a week, year 'round-my body temp thermostat is a bit off so I tend to be cold when others are fine. This swim cap is very effective at allowing me to swim and makes a several degree difference. So for anyone who needs help when the water temp is low this is the cap for you.

    Good, but too small for me

    I’m sure it is great, but if you have a big head it might be too small. At least I thought so. The chinstrap is too tight on me. Otherwise very nice.

    Excited to try this on!!!

    I have not used it yet, my first swimming session will be on 05/05. But I am very satisfied with the overall construction quality of this product, Emilio has thought of all the details to make it of a great quality, and I am sure that it will perform accordingly!!!

    Comfortable cap that keeps your head warm.

    This cap has been great for me. It is easy to put on and take off. It is so much warmer that a silicon swim cap and that it covers the ears makes all of the difference in the world. Even though it is a bit pricey. I just bought my daughter one to match the one I already have. Money well spent.

    GreenGoma Swim Cap*

    AWESOME. If you do any sort of ocean swimming when the water starts to get cool 60 or below, this is the best solution. Easy to get on, does not compress your face or under your chin, very comfortable. I recommend it to all my friends that do ocean/bay swims.
