GLYDE Thermal Neoprene Swim Cap – 3mm

Cold water starts at the head. The GLYDE Thermal Neoprene Swim Cap is designed to keep you warm, focused, and comfortable when water temperatures drop.

Made from 3mm premium neoprene, this cap provides reliable thermal insulation while remaining soft, flexible, and comfortable for long swims. The adjustable Velcro chin strap ensures a secure, custom fit, keeping the cap in place through dive entries, surf conditions, and extended open-water sessions.

Layering for Colder Water

Staying warm in cold water is all about layering smartly.

If conditions are colder, swims are longer, or you lose heat quickly, consider pairing the thermal cap with other GLYDE thermal layers:

Neoprene gloves to keep hands warm and maintain dexterity
Neoprene booties to reduce heat loss through the feet
Thermal neoprene vest/top to add core warmth without restricting movement

Layering allows you to fine-tune warmth without jumping straight to a thicker wetsuit. Add or remove layers based on water temperature, swim duration, and personal cold tolerance.

Perfect for

Cold or early-season open-water swims
SwimRun training and racing
Winter pool sessions
Swimmers who feel the cold quickly
