Lycra Swim Caps
Lycra is a new swim cap material gaining in popularity. While not the cheapest option, they have very fast drying times and are popular with competitive swimmers. Lycra swimming caps do not insulate like latex and silicone do, so they are best suited for warm water or racing. They are very durable and don't grab onto or snag hair.
Casual swimmers will probably be more interested in another style swim cap as they are not designed to keep hair dry. Lycra swimming caps are for keeping hair out of the way, not necessarily protecting it. They are not waterproof and wear down after a few months of heavy use. But remember lycra is for those seeking a competitive edge.
