    OMG they are 'Designed to provide protection from damaging chlorine and increased speed.' Is this the secret to swimming fast that i've been missing all these years? If i had only worn one for stages 3 and 4 I might have beat the tide. But you know i love the drama of an epic battle at the end...i guess i don't really want one :)

    My cap came today, just in time for tomorrow's 3 hr swim practice! You know I'd better hold my form and dig deep! Metallic gold means you can't blend into the crowd! I look forward to wearing this cap proudly! Thanks, @evmo !

    Love my new caps!
    My next request? Sweatshirts! Because I'm one of those always cold kinda swimmers.

    OMG! You didn't tell me those caps were magic! Wore the cap yesterday and did my longest swim this year (not by the standards of more experienced marathon swimmers, but I'm still moving into this distance swimming....),10 thousand meters. Then wore the cap today, did a short 2200m swim practice, a bit of running/walking/yoga.... and another 2000m open water. (I didn't wear the cap for land stuff. Maybe it would have led to a longer run....) ;)

    7/22: Great South Bay SwI'm
    9/2 Valley Forge Marathon Swim This time, I want to finish all 8 miles. Made it to 7 last year.

    Now, if you start selling MSF swimsuits, I'm in! If just the cap did what it did, imagine if I added a suit w your logo. I could be dangerous!

    ....Maybe consider goggles. ....

    The lineup of MSF silicone swim caps had expanded to a third color - dark blue with white print. Not advised for open water (visibility) but great for pool swimming.

    To purchase, head to the MSF Store.

    You guys, I swam in the Los Angeles Athletic Club pool wearing the gold MSF cap and got a lot of respect and questions. It was fun!

    As the self-designated "MSF Ambassador" I wear my caps (gold, yellow, silver, blue...gave the pink one to my daughter) and t-shirts everywhere. Routinely get asked the same question: What makes something a marathon swim? When I was overseas, on a couple of occasions I got the question: Are you a doctor? #LanguageLesson

    This may being in the "perils of lap swim" thread, but I took my MSF cap to the pool the other day and it did not approve of being indoors...

    ...I have since ordered my silver cap.

    Ooh! Bought the pink, orange, AND dark blue (for the pool only of course). I already have the yellow cap. Please bring back the platinum!

    Future requests: Vintage MSF tee (the soft kind) and MSF hoodies. May I recommend Bonfire.com for these products? I've designed and sold swag through Bonfire on behalf of a nonprofit organization, and I've been pleased with Bonfire. I can help if you'd like.

    Nonetheless, please keep the MSF swag coming! Thank you for your time and work, Evan.
