FAQs
We challenged the status quo by inventing a swim cap that brings four essential benefits to aquatic athletes; head safety, performance, comfort, and durability. We strongly encourage wearing it during practice, during meet warm-ups, and under your team cap in competition. Let me tell you more.
Hammer Head's patented HIT Honeycomb Impact Technology is a cushion inside –invisible from the exterior – designed to help absorb and dissipate the shock from accidental and repeated collisions above and below the water. Two independent drop tests revealed that Hammer Head reduces collision impact on top of the head by over 50% compared to other swim caps.
More common than you think. Now more than ever head safety is top of mind for parents, coaches and athletes with the enforcement of Concussion Protocol Training (CPT) across all states by major governing bodies like USA Swimming and the National Federation of High Schools Association.
The risk zones include:
- A head collision with another swimmer or the wall....think backstroke and busy practice and warm-up lanes
- A congested open water or triathlete race mass start
- A dive entry gone-wrong
- An Artistic swimmer's elbow to the head in practice
- Physical and aggressive play in a water polo practice or meet
It's time to prioritize head safety in aquatic sports!
