Speedo Silicone Swimming Cap
by superness11 My boyfriend has been training for a triathlon and to keep him company while he has been training, I've taken up swimming. I do enjoy swimming and find it relaxing and beneficial, however I do not like the chlorine! It dries out my hair and irritates my scalp. I bought a speedo swimming cap to protect my hair and skin from ... the harshness of the chemicals. *Price and availability* The caps are prices at £1.99 which is a very competitive price. I bought mine from my local sport shop but they are widely available in stores and online. *Description* The hats come in a variety of colours. I have a blue one that is slightly metallic looking. The cap fits snuggly on the head and covers right from the top of my forehead to the bottom of my hair line. I have longish hair but due to the style it won't go in a pony tail, so sometimes find it hard to scoop all the hair up. However it does all fit neatly inside, even if you had really long hair you shouldn't have a problem because the silicone is really stretchy. The cap is really good quality and quite thick, this means it shouldn't tear or rip easily. *My experience* The cap is great for what I want it for. It doesn't keep my hair completely dry but it does protect the majority of it. After use I end up with a red band on my forehead but it soon fades and it is just a sign of a tight fit. It does look ridiculous on but it stops my hair from getting in my face and prevents me stopping every two minutes to tuck it behind my ears! Another advantage is that the cap can reduce drag in the water, making you more streamlined and faster. Speedo advertise that their caps can reduce drag by 5% more than other swimming caps. *Overall* I am very happy with my cap. I have worn it many times and it is still in fantastic shape. If they are good enough for Micheal Phelps then they are good enough for me! Read the complete review |

Speedo Silicone Swimming Cap
by northernlovely The Speedo Silicone Swimming Cap is a classic - you can buy it in pretty much any fitness shop and swimming pool I've seen. It's available in a variety of colours and patterns, and costs between £1.99 and £3, depending on where you buy it from. If you swim regularly, it's vital to protect your hair from the chlorine, ... especially if you have any artificial colour in your hair. Chlorine, even when washed out later, can cause dry, brittle hair which snaps off, and can cause discolouration in coloured hair - a dull green on a peroxide blond is never a good look! Using a swim cap isn't just about protecting your hair, however. It's a handy tool in timesaving - if you use a swim cap you can fit in a swim before going about the rest of your day / night, without the worry of wet, unstyled hair. The cap is easy to pop on - I like to tie my hair back into a flat bun, as there's a lot of it, and then simply stretch the cap over my head, so it sits just under my hairline. It's a snug fit, but you get used to it, and even the most vigorous of swim sessions won't budge it, meaning your hair stays nice and dry. Then I like to dry off the rest of me (and dry the cap, too) before pulling it off my head. Cap goes in the swim bag ready for next time, and there you have it! It's so easy to use that I do think it's an essential for swimmers, especially regular swimmers. The cap has the Speedo logo to the side (or front, or back - depends how you wear it) and looks in place in the pool - they're so commonplace, everyone seems to have one. If you don't - I recommend it, they're a simple bit of kit, cheap, and oh so effective. Read the complete review |

Speedo Endurance Solid Jammer
by Qroo I've had these swim shorts for well over a year now, which for the amount of use I have had out of them has been quite impressive. I bought these ones to replace a pair of Maru jammers which had started to go see through. I paid about £20 for these at the time, which I was more than happy to pay as I know that these shorts had a good ... reputation. The shorts are plain black in colour with a small Speedo logo at the bottom of the front left leg and on the rear there it says "Endurance+" in white stitching. The pair I have is for 32" waist, which makes the shorts 32cm wide and 40cm long. This means that they come a short way down your leg, in my case about half way to my knee. I have used "Jammers" for quite a few years now as they are just as comfortable as trunks but a bit less revealing! I quite like the black colour as it is quite unobtrusive, simple and plain. All I want them for is to swim in, not to strut about the pool side, so a plain colour suits me fine. When you put them on, they are tight to your skin but there is still some slack in the fabric if needed. I find them really comfortable to wear and to swim in and the inside contains a polyester lining which is probably there in case they start to go a bit see through to protect your dignity. There is a draw string around the waist which tightens then up and stops them coming off. I find that they don't need to be too tight to keep them comfortably in place. I have had these for well over a year now and they are still in the same condition to when I bought them. I am quite surprised at this, as I swim for about 3-4 hours a week and rarely wash them out properly. If I had bought any other pair of jammers, I am pretty certain that they would of gone see through by now, however these have not, which is due to the quality of them. I had been told before that these were very good and having tried them, I would also recommend them. For women, they also do swimming costumes that carry the "Endurance+" name. I believe this is a particular range from Speedo that has been designed to withstand excessive use and not be degraded by the effects of chlorine. I would highly recommend this brand to any swimmer, casual or competitive, as they are very comfortably, look good and they last for ages. I will probably have to replace these soon, and when I do I will definitely buy Speedo again. Therefore, I am going to give these 5/5 as they are well worth the money and are a truly excellent product. Thanks for reading.
