Editorial Review: Product Description: This Speedo® swimming cap is constructed from silicone and displays a Speedo® logo. Amazon.com Product Description: Keep your hair under wraps when swimming with Speedo's silicone solid-color swim cap. Silicone allows head to breathe for a more comfortable fit, and this durable, pliable cap can be stretched to more than double its original size. Featuring a soft texture, this cap can be quickly removed and won't snag your hair. About Speedo In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits were in production and it didn't take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of it's manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange. Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits. Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and Holland's Inge de Bruijn. What's in the Box? Speedo Silicone Swim Cap, zippered carrying bag Average Rating:
 Rating:  - bad qualityI bought it for my 7 yr old and within the first few weeks, when he was trying to get it off his head, it just tore. Cant be fixed. Really bad quality. Rating:  - Great swim cap for the moneyThese Swim caps are great if you have loose hair that falls out, both my daughters have this problem so swimming with them is like swimming in hair (yuck). The caps are great very sung fitting also good if you have light hair like mine. Because my hair dose'nt seem to get as much damage from the Sun and Chlorine when I use the swim cap. Rating:  - Very good swim capBought this cap from Amazon and own it for a while. It is fit and comfortable. Rating:  - could be betterit does not completely cover your head. It's a little hard to put on and then it keeps riding up. I thought it would of been better Rating: - great capI purchased one althought I wasn't sure if this material and size would be right. By looking at the cap, it looked little smaller than I thought. But it was actually great material and fit right. I didn't pull my hair at all, and keep my hair dry. |
