Superior Water Resistance.
The AIRCAP 1™
Made with welded drop stitch fabric, which is coated with a waterproof polyurethane, ensuring the cover does not absorb water. This keeps the cover lightweight and prevents issues like mold or mildew growth which is an issue with traditional foam hot tub covers.

Traditional Foam Covers
Foam covers, even when encased in vinyl, will eventually absorb water. Punctures and environmental wear will expedite this process. Once wet, foam loses its insulating properties and will become a breeding ground for mold.
Enhanced Durability.
The AIRCAP 1™
Our welded drop stitch technology results in a cover that is highly resistant to punctures, tears, and UV damage due to our robust fabric weave and exterior. The AIRCAP 1™ maintains its shape and rigid durability under pressure. Think of inflatable paddleboards and their rigidity and durability.

Traditional Foam Covers
The foam inside these covers is fragile, breaks easily and can degrade over time leading to a loss of shape and insulation efficiency. The vinyl exterior can also crack or tear, reducing the cover's effectiveness.
Better Insulation.
The AIRCAP 1™
The unique structure of our drop stitch with its thousands of vertical threads, traps air when inflated, creating a high-insulation barrier that keeps heat in and reduces energy consumption for maintaining the hot tub's temperature.

Traditional Foam Covers
While foam does insulate, its performance drops significantly when wet which happens almost immediately upon exposure to the elements. Moreover, the insulation value of foam will degrade over time as the material ages or gets damaged.
Lightweight and Manageable.
The AIRCAP 1™
It's lightweight making it easy to remove, and it won't absorb moisture like traditional foam covers. The AIRCAP 1™ is slightly lighter out of the box and it will retain that weight during it's lifespan.
Traditional Foam Covers
Foam covers become heavy within a year or two making them cumbersome to handle. The foam will eventually become extremely heavy and near impossible to remove safely.
Longevity and Cost-Effectiveness.
The AIRCAP 1™
The durability of our welded drop stitch construction means that The AIRCAP 1™ will have a longer lifespan, providing better value over time. The initial cost is slightly more than a foam cover, however you won't need to replace it every 3-5 years like traditional foam hot tub covers.
Traditional Foam Covers
They need replacement frequently due to degradation, especially once they've absorbed water or suffered damage. This can lead to higher long-term costs.
Aesthetic Appeal.
The AIRCAP 1™
The AIRCAP 1™ offers a modern, sleek look, that adds to your backyard patio space aesthetics. The AIRCAP 1™ can easily be cleaned unlike vinyl or fabric covers making it aesthetically pleasing even after extensive use.
Traditional Foam Covers
Over time, foam covers will sag, deform, and show signs of wear more visibly, which can detract from the overall appearance of your hot tub.
Environmental Impact.
The AIRCAP 1™
When it's time for disposal, drop stitch materials, particularly those with PVC coatings, have recycling options. However, The AIRCAP's™ long lifespan reduces the frequency of replacement.

Traditional Foam Covers
Foam hot tub covers are terrible for the environment, you cannot recycle them, and when discarded, they contribute to massive amounts of landfill waste. The chemicals used in foam and absorbed by condensation are also a significant environmental concern.
