Speedo Has Reduced the Quality....Again!
My last Speedo silicone cap lasted 9 years! (The Amazon product page says I bought this model in 2009.)
I swim at least 4 hours a week in the sunlight. Now that is durability! Of course I ordered the same model when it finally ripped last week.
I just received the new one and was so sad to discover that this cap is no where near as thick as it once was. It also no longer has the textured inner surface. This cap is inferior and shouldn't even be advertised as the same model. No wonder there are now so many reviews describing the things ripping soon after purchase.
Speedo may think it's profitable to spend less on the products, thus causing them to wear out quicker and thus selling more? They did the same with their goggles and suits. I moved on to Aqua Sphere and TYR for those respectively over the years and now I will look to another brand for caps.
