Whether you’re swimming in open water as part of a pack on the first leg of a triathlon or simply pool training as part of club, there’s no doubt silicone swim caps offer superior comfort and fit for professional and amateur athletes alike.
As experts in the swim industry, Sports Instinct recommends using technological advanced silicone swim caps for events, rather than basic latex for a number of reasons.
The benefits of a silicone swim cap include:
• Less heat dissipation, providing more warmth and protection.
• Often retained as a race memento with practical function, extending brand exposure post-competition.
• Comfortable, non-sticky material that doesn’t tug on hair, particularly during T1 transition.
• Durable, robust material that snaps back into original shape.
• A more sustainably sourced material – with less environmental impact.
Sport Instinct supplies both a lightweight 28g silicone cap, suitable for use in pools or shorter distances in open water, and a thicker 48g cap, worn for longer distances in open water races.
Both styles are then customised according to each client’s individual promotional requirements by the company’s in-house team of designers and expert sales advisers.
James Lock, owner of Sports Instinct, a former elite athlete and Loughborough University alumni, says: “As a competitor, I understand the need for quality, whether you are a novice or expect.
“Sport Instinct is renowned for providing undeniable quality through price, comfort and durability of our swim caps.
“Through our years of experience working with events teams, we understand the needs and limitations of water-based events and as such specifically offer a range of customised cap colours and weights, guiding our event organisers towards neons and brightly coloured caps for open water safety compliance.”
As well as silicone swim caps, Sports Instinct also provides a range of customised sports related promotional merchandise, including technical T-shirts for finishers, bespoke race medals and drawstring bags.
