Wear Hammer Head alone or under your race-day cap for personal protection and confidence!
We love the street credibility that comes from being nominated "Product of the Year" by World Open Water Swimming Association (WOWSA) for disrupting the swim cap market - as the world’s first protective swim cap.
The first portion of a triathlon is the open water swim, and with mass starts back, it's crucial to consider personal head protection. This part of the race can be intimidating and up until now there was nothing to mitigate head hits when you have limited visibility, splashing water, and close encounters with other athletes. Traffic jams at buoy turns, floating debris and rough waters add to the danger, especially with officials in turbulent boats and kayaks nearby. Knowing these risk zones can help you navigate safely.
Hammer Head® Swim Caps are here to change the playing field. Our proprietary safety technology cushion inside is designed to make you and your teammates safer in the water, improving your confidence and helping you compete at the highest level.
USA Triathlon is partnered with CRASHCourse by TECHAids, a culmination of more than two years of research and development and thousands of hours featuring 700+ powerful and personal concussion stories focused on the causes, symptoms and personal suggestions after their head injury and backed by renowned and respected organizations as BIAA, NCYS, Palo Alto VA, SPICE and in collaboration with the support of USOPC’s National Governing Bodies.
Competitive pool or open water swimmers alike want the fastest race cap around. This is why the revolutionary new Hammer Head® raises the bar and takes swim caps to a whole new level. With its patented cushion inside the cap combined with a smooth outer surface and seamless design make it 50% safer, up to 10.5% faster and 100% more durable than flimsy latex or silicone caps.
The Hammer Head® Swim Cap is designed for daily practice, during meet warm-ups, and at competitive races. Worry not, we don't want to steal your race cap's thunder! Simply double cap with your Hammer Head to enjoy the benefits of a comfortable, drag free surface.

Technology in all sports is continually improving safety and performance, but how do you improve a swim cap? Hammer Head designed the world’s first protective swim cap using a patented honeycomb padding built into the top of the head for collisions in mass open water starts or bumping into support vessels in choppy waters. And, who doesn't want to swim faster?”

We wear helmets on our bikes, reflective equipment when running at dusk and we buy the best equipment available to us. Why wouldn't we protect our heads while training and competing in busy waters?

As I learned more about Hammer Head I realized how important it can be for triathlons. Not only is it crucial for head safety in the water during a mass start, but I love the wrinkle-free hydrodynamic design and comfortable fit. As a result, I feel safer, faster and more confident in the water. What a great product!
