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

  • Hmm... I've been putting on my goggles outside of my swim cap. In case my goggles filled up (hasn't happened in 20 years), I can rip them off easily enough. I don't have to put on the goggles until just before the race, so they stay dry/fog free. And the goggle straps help keep the cap on, which has a tendency to slip off during the longer races. (Head a funny shape after too many knocks. :frustrated: )
