Product Information
Full details
The Arena Unix II Swim Cap is designed for recreational swimmers who prioritize comfort and ease of use over the high-performance hydrodynamics of silicone caps. Crafted from a soft, woven polyester fabric, it provides a gentle, non-slip fit that won't tug at your hair, making it an excellent choice for regular pool sessions. However, it is important to note that because the fabric is water-permeable, it will not keep your hair completely dry like a latex or silicone cap would.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will this cap keep my hair dry?
No. The Arena Unix II is made of woven polyester, which is water-permeable. It is designed for comfort and hair management rather than keeping hair dry.
Is this cap suitable for professional competition?
This cap is designed for fitness and recreational swimming. Professional athletes typically prefer silicone or latex caps for their hydrodynamic properties.
How do I clean the cap?
Rinse with fresh water after every swim and let it air dry away from direct sunlight.
Is this cap one size fits all?
Yes, the stretchable polyester material provides an ergonomic fit that accommodates most adult head sizes comfortably.
Can I use this cap in a sauna or hot tub?
It is recommended to avoid high-heat environments like saunas, as heat can accelerate the wear and tear of the fabric fibers.
Troubleshooting
Cap keeps sliding off during swimming
Ensure your hair is securely tucked in and verify that the cap is pulled far enough down over the ears for a stable fit.
Material feels loose after long-term use
While polyester is durable, excessive stretching over time can occur; ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with cold water to remove chlorine that may break down the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To put on the Arena Unix II, simply open the cap with both hands and place it over the center of your forehead, then stretch it backward over the crown of your head. For best care, rinse the cap with fresh, cool water after every swim to remove pool chemicals and chlorine. Lay it flat or hang it in a shaded area to air dry completely. Avoid using a tumble dryer, iron, or direct heat sources, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric. Store the cap away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the blue material.
