Silicone or Latex

Silicone
Latex









There are two main types of swim caps out there , 1. Latex 2. Silicone but which one is right for you?















First off with silicone. Silicone caps are more often used in practise instead of races because people find that they way more than latex and arent as fast. This could be for a few reasons, 1. Silicone caps are much much thicker than latex and for that reason cause a bit more drag. 2. aparently the outside of theese caps are not as smooth. Aswell swimmers find that they can get very hot during a practise therefore causing some peole to have a headache. An advantage to this type of cap is that is is very durable and much more comfortable then latex.















Moving on to Latex, theese caps are commonly used in competition, and are faster than silicone. An advantage to having a latex cap is that it cost are fair amount less than a silicone one, up to 10$ less. A disadvantage is that they break alot easier and hurt to have on for a long time if they are new.
