Why the Small fits the Tropical X-Series
The AIRCAP 1™ comes in six sizes covering square spas from 77" to 94". Each size is built to overhang its band slightly — that is how a spa cover is meant to sit — so the Small, which fits cabinets 83"–85", covers the Tropical X-Series's 84" x 84" shell with the right overhang. Instead of a rigid foam core wrapped in vinyl, the AIRCAP 1™ uses welded drop-stitch construction (the material of premium inflatable paddleboards): a sealed air chamber that cannot absorb water, so it never becomes the waterlogged, two-person lift that ends most foam covers.
Cabinet dimensions can change between model years. Before ordering, measure your Tropical X-Series side to side across the top of the cabinet in both directions — the SureFit™ guide walks through it in two measurements. If your spa measures between two sizes, round up.
