Speedo FastSkin3 Cap Review

Renowned for its technical prowess and unheard-of streamlining capabilities, the Speedo FastSkin 3 Cap is the world’s first swim cap to feature IQ Fit Profile technology. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, Speedo crafted this cap to accommodate the subtle differences in users’ head shape with head mapping data. But, does this feature really translate to more comfort, improved hydrodynamic performance, and a better overall fit? Here’s what experienced swimmers had to say:

The FastSkin 3 Cap is consistently rated as one of the most effective and best fitting swim caps available. Although some users don’t jive with the ultra-tightness of the cap, competitive swimmers seem to agree that the FastSkin3 cap fit well, eliminating gapping and bunching. This cap stays in place without constant adjustments, reduces drag, and won’t slip or slide up during any portion of your swim. Not only will the Speedo FastSkin3 give you a competitive edge, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that your swim cap is working as hard as you are. Speedo (and long haired users) recommends that swimmers with thick, long, or unruly hair use the FastSkin3 Cap in conjunction with the FastSkin 3 Hair Management System.

Similarly, the new Aqua Sphere X-O Cap is also designed for ultra-streamlined racing.
