AIRCAP 1™
A better hot tub cover, point by point.
See how welded drop-stitch construction outperforms traditional foam hot tub covers — from water resistance to recyclability.

1
Superior Water Resistance
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.
Learn more about water resistanceTraditional FoamFoam 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
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.
Learn more about durabilityTraditional FoamThe 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
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.
Learn more about insulationTraditional FoamWhile 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
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 throughout its lifespan.
Traditional FoamFoam 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
AIRCAP 1™The durability of our welded drop stitch construction means 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 FoamThey 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
AIRCAP 1™The AIRCAP 1™ offers a modern, sleek look that adds to your backyard patio space. It can easily be cleaned, unlike vinyl or fabric covers, making it aesthetically pleasing even after extensive use.
Traditional FoamOver 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
AIRCAP 1™When it's time for disposal, drop stitch materials — particularly those with PVC coatings — have recycling options. And the AIRCAP's™ long lifespan reduces the frequency of replacement.
Learn about our environmental impactTraditional FoamFoam 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.
