This cap is the bomb! Ducking my head into that first wave in sub-60 degree water, and it's like you didn't even do it. The size chart was accurate, and it fits well. The fleece liner is great and dries out for me in 5-10 minutes after getting out. I thought the chin strap would bother me, but it doesn't in the slightest. Even when water gets in my ears, it is warm now, and very comfortable. This one is worth the slightly higher price for sure.

LOVE the Thermal Scull Cap, this is the second pair I bought, the Large fits my husband great, he has a fairly large head for a man. My size is Medium and I have a large head for a woman and it fits perfectly. We both use these in the swimming pool in California for comfort and heat. They are not too hot for us. A great advantage is no interference when using a snorkel and mask. Protects ears very well, both for cold and sound. The strap was a little tight the first day or two, then fine. We are looking forward to using them in the ocean this spring/early summer.

4.0 out of 5 stars The "New Standard" for Cold Open Water
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

Go to any Cold Water TriAthlon and you will ubiquitously find this Swim Cap along w the Blue Seventy Booties... your Wetsuit will only warm your core body, Not your "Contact Points" which is your Face, Hands, and Feet. This lid goes a long way in ensuring maximum heat retention. The Forehead seems more exposed than other caps, but simply adjust it forward for that extra inch. The back of your neck won't miss it all. Also, the Snug Fit disappears once wet. Wear waterproof ear plugs for complete chill resistance, try WalMart or Amazon. The Thermal version featuring Zirconium Orange Fleece Linining, is the Cat's Meow. Also, the thermal booties are an inch + longer than the non-thermal. Unless you swim in warm water or are on a budget, pay for the Zirconium. It's the Gift that keeps on Giving... ps/ Your hands will numb if gloves are not allowed, but head and feet will be a non-issue, and you will wonder why in the world isn't everyone else sporting this protective gear. The booties are a Must have as well... takes "That Chill" out of play 90%, most folk can deal w the ten percent discomfort if they competing in the first place. Hope this helps. PS/ Lake Cahuilla Palm Springs High Dessert, 54°, was like an Alpine Fjörd... you'd be Cray to not be rocking Thermal Blue 70, jussayin! The gear made it enjoyable once u get rolling... also easy On and Off. Booties while snug, need good technique and practice, don't wait till Race Day like I did...

Great thermal cap. I have used it in the ocean when the water temp was around 57ºF. It kept my head and ears warm, which was very important as I spend around 1hr 20min in the water swimming. I had no concerns whatsoever as far as the cold water affecting my head and ears. Great and durable product! I did use a bright colored silicone swim cap on top of it to make myself more visible.

I saw a winter swimmer wearing a similar cap a year ago, got intrigued and found the Blueseventy Thermal Neoprene Skull Cap. I bought it and have never regretted. Easy to put on and off, no problems ending my swimming routine with the cap falling off, my head is kept warm and comfortable. No problem to add goggles or a snorkel. During the winter time, I don't leave home without this precious part of my winter swimming gear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes a Real Difference
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
Minutes into my first swim in this cap, I realized how much heat I'd been leaking out of my head into the colder-every-day waters of the Pacific in which I like to swim, and what a big difference it would make not to be leaking that heat. The effect is doubtless partly psychological, but it also does actually make a difference -- for me, on swims of 30+ minutes, the cold is less about any part of my body feeling chilly (which I can sort of handle) and more about the general heat suck that I feel, and starting to feel _cold_ while out there in the water (which I HATE). This really helps with that.

It also helps with my form; I noticed/realized that I'd been pulling my head/face up from the water a bit, in my stroke -- just as a reflex against the cold water. With this covering and warming, I do that less. I'm really glad I purchased this thing.

Note on sizing: do the thing of actually measuring your head, and follow that. I would have been tempted to go with "Large" on principal (I'm a 6'2" male, and not little) but I fell into the measurements for a "Medium", and it was definitely the right call.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2016

Really good, stops ice cream forehead, and helps me enjoy swimming in colder water. Size large does fit XL ( 7 7/8 inch, 63 cm ) head, and is a good balance between being close fitting to work well, whilst not crushing or constricting. I forgot all about wearing it, only my bare hands and feet started to feel the cold water after an hour. Recommended.
