The silicone swim cap is a modern innovation. Swimmers like them because of their durability and ease of fit. They are also less harsh on the hair and require less effort to take on and off.
Silicone is a synthetic, heat-resistant compound used in a number of products. Most importantly, it's an excellent waterproofer. It's not just used in swimming caps, but also in aquariums, aircraft, and cookware.
