i am a guy with long hair and have trouble finding a cap that stays on. I heard there are bubble caps with straps. Do you have a recommendation? Thx.

Hi Kaylee,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!
Normally people can get away with a Latex, Fabric or Silicone cap with no problems. You must have a lot of hair, so here are some links to different caps with straps. Shoot us a picture with it on if you decide to buy it so we know if we should recommend it again.
Be well.

Hi
The Barracuda hothead was a little tight (the velcroix strap was very hard to secure) and would probably be too warm for the pool swimming I do.
The swimcap with chin strap stayed on (I actually wore this one in the pool) but because I didn’t want the strap to be uncomfortably tight it seemed to let more water into the cap
The textured surface of the cap is a bit feminine looking. I think the Aqua Sphere Aqua Glide Silicone Swim Cap with ear covers which I tried before will be the best solution for me. I wanted to see if there was something out there better for me.
Thanks again for the referrals!
Take care, Kal[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” border_width=”2″ sep_align=”center” sep_width=”100%” accent_color=”#990000″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
