KatieB Nov 2020 7:20am, 27 Nov 2020 8,435 posts	0 KatieB I got this one: outdoorswimmer.com Neoprene hats: I would try and get a bright one and one with a strap that fastens. Mine is bright but the strap is fixed so getting it on and off is a bit annoying. It’s an orca and it’s great in every other way.
