Do dome caps make a difference?

Are dome caps faster vs regular caps? And if so, per 50 are we talking hundredths of a seconds or tenths? Im pretty skeptical but have no experience with them. I have a small head, so latex caps are always wrinkling/ridging up and air bubbling on me. I cant seem to find any that will fit nicely. Thanks for your input!

  • But if you've done the work, why not spend a few extra bucks to get the most out of your work input? Even us old school guys wore Arena paper suits for our big end of season meets... Not some baggy nylon training suit from the grab bag. TYR Socket Rockets: $10 TYR Tracer Light: $90 TYR dome cap: $20 Wearing nothing made or sold by Speedo: pricelessAgreed ... especially on the Tracer Light ... haven't worn a speedo suit in a meet, I think, '01 or '02 ... I still admit to liking my speedo dome cap and Speedo GCG mirrored goggles, but I need to get a backup racing goggles so will grab some socket rockets.
