Does anyone know the difference between silicone and latex swim caps? Does one work better than the other? Are there better caps to use for practice and for meets? Which kind of caps do you prefer to use?
I have a lot of long hair so I prefer the silicone kind because it is easier to get all of my hair in it. They seem to stretch pretty well but I find that after a couple of months they have become too stretchy and need to be replaced. I don't like the feeling of the cap sliding back. Plus the latex caps do get kind of nasty especially if it's a pale color. Not wearing a cap would be a complete disaster for me...
