Although I'm not a big fan of winter swimming, I was more than looking forward to reviewing the neoprene cap. I ended up trying this cap not only on my but also on my dad's head. He's actually the one who loves open-water swimming.
The Hiko neoprene cap fits beautifully on my head and doesn't press anywhere. It also comes in 2 sizes, so while I reached for the S/M size, my dad could have chosen the larger one in the L/XL size. If you know you'll only be using the cap as an insulating layer and won't be submerging your head, it will be enough on its own. However, if you're submerging your head in cold water as I do, I would recommend putting a thin silicone cap over it as an insulating layer against the water.
It's made of soft neoprene, has a thin elastic band around the perimeter and comes in a neutral black colour.
The only small downside is there are only 2 sizes. However, we were completely satisfied with it.
Neoprene material. It provides effective protection against cold water.

Menstruation is a natural part of every woman's life, but it can pose some challenges, especially during the summer months and during water-related activities. Traditional menstrual products such as tampons and pads can be uncomfortable or impractical in these situations. In addition, tampons and other menstrual products that are inserted into the body may not be comfortable for all women, and for young girls, it may be difficult or even impossible to introduce them.
It's not surprising that winter could be long, dark and, unless you spend it somewhere in the mountains, unpleasant. Because of the shorter days and lack of sunshine, our bodies are subjected to unwanted stress and the spring season should be about rebooting the body and mind. Swimming is, therefore, an ideal way to support the natural detoxification process and improve the overall well-being of the body.
Swimming bands, or also expanders, are probably the most basic training aid for swimmers on dry land. They help not only to strengthen the stroke muscles, but also to improve technique. But do you know how to use them properly?
Do you want to improve, stay healthy, and avoid injuries and forced breaks? Proper recovery after swimming is key and should be a priority for everyone, whether a professional or a recreational athlete.

Luboš Hilgert and Zdeněk Košťál, nationa team members of Czechoslovakia in white water slalom, inspired their descendants Ivan and Marcela to create the HIKO brand. The brand was inconspicuously created in one of Prague´s high-rise prefab and became one of the world's most famous manufacturers of aids for water sports fans. HIKO can be proud of its Czech production, development and design. Together with their production team, they make sure that the most modern technologies and production procedures are used.
