I have one of those heads that don't work well with hats, headbands and swim caps historically just slid off...So the only time I could use my pool was if I had time to deal with my medium/long hair afterward, which was nearly never. I have four swim caps I've bought within the past year as I've tried to resolve this 1st World Problem, but none worked...Until now!
As recommended by other reviewers, I stuck my hair up into a low bun, held the cap open as indicated in the accompanying picture and slipped it on. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't pinch and pull my skin or my hair and it actually held it all in! In less than a minute, I was ready to go and the grips around the fact kept it in place even after I made it to the pool, which was another first.
Yes, similar to others, my hair got a little wet around the edges, but I can handle a two-minute blow dry, followed by a quick brush to style and then I'm ready to roll to my next adventure, which usually involves some level of camera work, so I have to look at least presentable.
I also commend the follow-up from the owner that I received. I rarely post reviews, but I got from his request that his values mirror many of mine and I believe strongly in family businesses, which apparently this one is, according to the follow-up note.
So if you are looking for a good, reliable cap that evens works for heads that normally can't wear caps and also can manage long hair, I suggest you give this one a try. Plus, you'll be helping out a family business in the process!
I finally found a swim cap that stays on my head!!! It is large enough to fit all of my past shoulder length hair (that I wrap in a bun underneath it) and I love the textured bumps on the inside border. They seem to add the additional "traction" to keep this cap from slipping while doing my laps. I've only used it a dozens time or so, but it's keeping up quite well.
It work great protecting my hair from the chlorine too. I saturate my dry hair with conditioner, wrap it in a bun, put the swim cap on and it keeps the conditioner from rinsing out. This prevents the chlorine from absorbing into my hair. As soon as I'm finished swimming, I hop in the shower and rinse out the conditioner. The keep my hair from getting dry and brittle and also from smelling like bleach.
As for the disclaimer that it keep your hair dry... Maybe if you are using it as a shower cap. There aren't any swim caps out there (including scuba hoods) that keep the water completely out. The main purpose of a swim cap is to keep your hair out of your face and provide less drag.
I got this swim cap in hopes to spend more time in the pool without getting my hair wet. The material is nice and it feels like a good quality with bumpy ridges to help secure around your head. I do wish It was slightly larger as with my hair being thick and long the fit is not the best at keeping water out. I still give four stars because it does look nice and the material is nice however if you wish to keep long thick hair completely dry, a larger cap would be needed.
I've only used it once, but it fit like a dream. At one point during my swim, I had to put my hand to my head to make sure it was still there. It went on smoothly and totally covers my all of my fairly long and thick hair. Finally a cap I can just put on and forget about and not 'futz' with during my swim!
This is the most comfortable swim cap I've ever worn,
Did I get a little water in there- yes, but I suspect it was user error on my part. I did not fully extend it over the ears as pictured since I prefer not to have my ears covered when I swim. If you are concerned about keeping hair dry, follow the instructions.
For me, I just wanted a swim cap that did not give me a headache and this was perfect- soft, easy to slide on and off, and did not snag my hair.
I wouldn't hesitate to re-purchase.

PS. Open water swimmers should also consider buying a cap in a bright color to make it easier for officials and rescuers to spot them in the water.It is not as tight as my previous swim cap that was silicone for long hair for regular hair. I don't have thick hair. WATER DOES get into the cap enough to bother some people, much ore than the previous cap i had which was stolen . . . i don't live in usa and ordered a tyr cap first it was so tight i couldn't get it on. wondered if it was for kids so i was ok with ordering this brand knwoing the little bumps that hold the cap inplace will in fact let in more water which it does, but it does not move while i am swimming laps is comfortable and doesn't pull my hair much. so i am happy. color is also happy
So far this is the best one yet, while hair doesn't stay completely dry it's dryer than most. My last one split, I had to find a new one and now I'm glad it split because this one is so much better. The sides come down just far enough to cover our ears, water did not get in my ears and it usually does and did with my last caps, my pony tail and scrunchy fit underneath, my hair is about 18 to 20 inches long, not overly thick but not thin, it's curly. The bump is in the right place for the pony tail. It's also easier to put on. And the color was OK too. I just measured my head above my eyebrows and snugly around with a tailor's tape it's 21 7/8 inches.
I have thick hair and a bigger head so that regular swim caps would be too tight or slide off. This is perfect!! Ive used this for about two weeks now and so glad I purchased it.
I always buy a cap for long hair even though I don't have long hair. But I'm a migraine sufferer and I can't stand anything tight on my head and these caps are just enough larger to ease that pressure.
This cap has little rubber nubbies that help it stay on. Which are nice. But if you don't get your goggles around those, then they do kind of dig into your temples. And they left little bumps on my forehead that took about an hour for them to go away.
So I like it and it gets the job done. But I'm not sure I'm a fan of those nubbies and thus the 4 star rating.
I have long thick straight hair, and enjoy having long hair (not quite to my waist). However, I had despaired of finding a good swim cap when I began to swim seriously for exercise. I have a big head on top of it. I have been wonderfully surprised by my Vitchelo cap. I put my hair into a loose bun, and “squish it in” after putting the cap on. It fits snugly (as a swim cap should), and my goggles secure the bun (and cap) on my head. I was shocked at how dry it keeps my hair. The cap is well made and I expect that it will last well. I have been impressed with both the product and customer service.
