Although I'm not a big fan of winter swimming, I was more than looking forward to reviewing the neoprene cap. I ended up trying this cap not only on my but also on my dad's head. He's actually the one who loves open-water swimming.
The Hiko neoprene cap fits beautifully on my head and doesn't press anywhere. It also comes in 2 sizes, so while I reached for the S/M size, my dad could have chosen the larger one in the L/XL size. If you know you'll only be using the cap as an insulating layer and won't be submerging your head, it will be enough on its own. However, if you're submerging your head in cold water as I do, I would recommend putting a thin silicone cap over it as an insulating layer against the water.
It's made of soft neoprene, has a thin elastic band around the perimeter and comes in a neutral black colour.
The only small downside is there are only 2 sizes. However, we were completely satisfied with it.
Neoprene material. It provides effective protection against cold water.

Do you have a swimmer at home? We’ve selected the very best gifts that are sure to make them happy, and we didn’t forget about the kids either.
If you’ve been diligently cold plunging all summer, autumn is the perfect time to keep it up. Cold season is approaching, and as you probably know, one of the main benefits of cold exposure is greater resistance to respiratory illnesses. That said, it’s worth adjusting your routine a little compared to your summer dips.
Back To Pool! Summer is slowly coming to an end, and for kids, students, and even adults, school and work bring a fresh load of responsibilities. From September, the water in the pools will be "boiling" again, as swimming lovers return to their training or simply regular swimming routine, so it's time to get properly equipped.

Luboš Hilgert and Zdeněk Košťál, nationa team members of Czechoslovakia in white water slalom, inspired their descendants Ivan and Marcela to create the HIKO brand. The brand was inconspicuously created in one of Prague´s high-rise prefab and became one of the world's most famous manufacturers of aids for water sports fans. HIKO can be proud of its Czech production, development and design. Together with their production team, they make sure that the most modern technologies and production procedures are used.
