That’s a Wrap

Turban Swim Caps

Forcing body parts into tight rubber contraptions is deeply unpleasant, what with the pulling of hair and snapping on sensitive areas.

Which is why the turban swim cap is a creation of sheer brilliance. (Get your melon out of the gutter.)

The headgear is made of good old polyester with a waterproof lining. And thanks to a Velcro size adjuster in the back, wearing it does not make you feel like your noggin is going to explode.

The turban style was a little aggressive as a trend (really, only pretentious posers wear them as accessories), but the design has room to keep long tresses dry while lapping it up. In our opinion, black is the obvious choice, but there are other color options like hot pink and royal blue for those who like to live on the edge.

The important thing is that you use protection.
