FAQs
Is this swim cap suitable for competitive swimming?
The Fashy Pleated Fabric Swim Cap is designed primarily for comfort and general use. While it offers good coverage, competitive swimmers seeking maximum hydrodynamic efficiency might prefer specialized silicone or latex racing caps.
How do I ensure the cap stays on securely?
The cap features an anatomically shaped rubber grip band designed to provide a smooth, secure fit. Ensure the band is positioned evenly around your hairline and covers your ears for the best hold.
Can I wear this cap with long hair?
Yes, the cap is designed to cover your hair. For very long or thick hair, you may need to twist or bun your hair securely before putting the cap on to ensure it all fits underneath.
What is the material of the swim cap?
The main body of the swim cap is made from 100% Polyester (PES), and it features a plastic lining and a rubber grip band.
How should I clean the swim cap?
After each use, rinse the cap thoroughly with cold, fresh water. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid using harsh detergents.
Does this cap keep ears completely dry?
The cap is designed to cover and provide warmth to your ears. While it helps prevent significant water entry, it may not guarantee completely dry ears for all users or in all swimming conditions. Some swimmers may still experience minor seepage.
Is the 'one size' fit suitable for everyone?
The 'one size' is designed to fit most adults. However, fit can vary based on individual head size and shape. The elasticated rubber grip band helps accommodate different sizes.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the cap is positioned correctly, with the rubber band at the hairline. If it consistently feels too tight, it may be that the 'one size' is not the best fit for your head circumference. Try adjusting the placement slightly.
Water seeps into the ears
Make sure the rubber grip band is properly seated all the way around your head and covering your ears. Ensure there are no gaps. For additional protection, consider wearing earplugs underneath.
Cap material feels sticky or degrades
This can happen if the cap is not rinsed properly after use or is exposed to pool chemicals for extended periods without rinsing. Always rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat.
Ruched seams are stretching out
Avoid overstretching the cap beyond its intended fit. Gentle handling during wear and care will preserve the seam integrity.
