United KingdomGood Experience!
Unlike the high-tech gloves and hat which Zone 3 kindly asked me to review, the wearing of a neoprene hat was to be a new experience for me and what an experience – they are super cosy! The size was perfect and the 4mm neoprene and gorgeous fleecy lining kept my head & ears toasty. I have short hair but my daughter who has very long hair and wears it tied up for swimming thought the adjustable Velcro was perfect as it accommodated those with lots of hair without going up a head size. Very comfortable and remained in place whilst swimming – I'm tempted to keep it on. With high-tech gloves, boots and hat winter swimming will never be the same again!
United KingdomWhat a difference!
My first experience of using a neoprene hat so I don't have another brand or model to compare with this one. As a regular open water swimmer and coach I've always worn a silicon hat or occasionally 2 in winter. I also use ear plugs. I find silicon caps ride up a bit over my ears so am always trying to tug them down to keep ear plugs in and water out. Using the size guide I went for the medium which fitted well, especially with the chin strap. It was very comfortable and the difference in warmth was considerable. My head was so cosy and I felt it may benefit rewarming too. The strap also helped keep ear plug secure and my ears felt cosier too! I'm a definite convert!
United KingdomSurprisingly good
Zone 3 very kindly gifted me heat-tech hat, gloves & boots in exchange for a review. So, i NEVER wear neoprene swim caps during winter swims, its generally 2 silicone hats, however, i gave it a bash. Really easy to put on, & secure, given the velcro strap. I chose size small, as i have a bit of a pea-head!!? (54cm circumference) & it was perfect fit. The hat REALLY keeps your head warm, of course, the obligatory ice-cream headache was very much present, but, thats to be expected, as your face is in the water. I did a bit of backstroke, & my head was super toasty. It keeps your ears warm too! I expected the chin strap to be uncomfortable (another reason i don't usually wear them), however, i was quite impressed as i forgot about it whilst i was swimming. I think that may be down to the fact that its a velcro fastening rather than an integral chin strap, so you can adjust for comfort. During swimming it remained secure & snug against my head. Great product, & may be tempted to rod off my silicone hats & go heat-tech neoprene!!
United KingdomReally effective
I have not worn a neoprene swim cap before and didn't know what to expect from it when I tried it out in the 9 degree sea in late March. I was impressed with how well it kept my skull warm in the sea. It felt quite a surprise at first that my face was so much colder than the rest of my head, but I soon got used to that. Overall I swam for 25 minutes and it felt really comfortable. I didn't have any trouble putting it on, the fit was good and the Velcro strap held together firmly. It took a bit of getting used to not being able to hear all that clearly but my ears were well protected from the cold water. Overall a good experience and it really worked.
