Neoprene caps are made from synthetic rubber and are also very stretchy, making them a good choice for those with thick hair. They can fit various head sizes, making them a good choice for those with thick hair.
Latex caps are the least popular type, as they tend to be less comfortable and can be quite tight on the head. They are less comfortable than silicone or neoprene caps, but they provide a tight seal around the head.

Whichever type you decide on, make sure to practice putting it on and taking it off before your race or triathlon, so you don’t waste any time during the event.
