New trend regarding swimcaps

Hello everyone! I have seen that most elite swimmers use multiple swimcaps (2) when racing. What is the reason for this? Are the modern swimcaps made of the same material the new swimsuits are made of (theoretically this would be lower resistance than normal silicone ones) ...trying to optimize...and spend more money ;) BR Per

    I wear two caps from time to time - not for speed! Some team caps are only printed on Laytex caps -- they hurt my hair. I put on a Silicone cap, then put on my team laytex cap. Also, by double capping, I've noticed that less water seeps into my cap because of the double seal. It's that simple.
