Water-resistant & lightweight
AirLoc™ panels have no foam core to soak up water, so the cover weighs the same out of the box and years later: 35–40 lb, depending on size.

Measure straight across the top of your spa, edge to edge, both ways, in inches.

Watch it open and close on a cover lifter
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 X-Small, which fits cabinets 80"–82", covers the Vantage's 81.5" x 81.5" shell with the right overhang.
At 81.5" the Vantage is at the top of the X-Small's 80"–82" range — the largest cabinet this size covers. Measure before ordering: half an inch more and the cover you need is the Small. Within Coast Spas, the Vantage shares that 81.5" x 81.5" cabinet with NorthWind NWV, NorthWind NWZ and Zenith — same footprint, same cover. The 41 Coast Spas models we fit sit on 11 footprints, and the Vantage is on number 3 of 11 from the smallest; together they span 5 of the six AIRCAP 1 sizes.
Cabinet dimensions can change between model years. Before ordering, measure your Vantage at its widest point across the top, in both directions, including any acrylic lip that overhangs the cabinet — the SureFit™ guide walks through it in two measurements. If a figure you have found elsewhere is larger than ours, an overhanging lip is the usual reason. If your spa measures between two sizes, round up.
Every spa in our catalogue that measures 81.5" x 81.5" is on one page: hot tubs that take an 82" × 82" cover — the same AIRCAP 1™ X-Small, at the same price.
Instead of a rigid foam core wrapped in vinyl, the AIRCAP 1™ uses welded drop-stitch construction: a sealed air chamber with no foam to absorb water, so it does not become the waterlogged two-person lift that ends most foam covers. More on how it insulates, how it holds up, and why it is foam-free — or estimate what your current foam cover weighs.
What customers are saying
Awesome product, my kids don’t complain about the cover anymore…
Best $$ I ever spent!
What this company has created in terms of an original and revolutionary product is nothing short of amazing.
For a reasonable price, I can cover my spa with a top that won’t get musty.
Nice and lightweight
…set up was super easy and took about 15 min total.
Installation was a breeze and we love it already!
Great customer service still matters, and frankly, not enough companies deliver it anymore. This company does, and that deserves recognition.
Do not wait to buy one.
Thoughtfully engineered
Three practical reasons to rethink your next hot tub cover.
AirLoc™ panels have no foam core to soak up water, so the cover weighs the same out of the box and years later: 35–40 lb, depending on size.
Learn about water resistanceThe sealed AirLoc™ air core has nothing in it to absorb water, so its insulation stays consistent for the life of the cover.
See how AIRCAP insulatesThree ZipTech™ skirt lengths come in the box, and a worn or damaged skirt can be replaced on its own, without replacing the whole cover.

The Coast Spas Vantage takes the AIRCAP 1 X-Small, which fits square hot tubs measuring 80"–82" across. The Vantage's cabinet measures 81.5" x 81.5", inside that band. Measure your spa side to side across the top of the cabinet to confirm before ordering.
Yes — the Vantage's 81.5" x 81.5" square cabinet falls in the AIRCAP 1 X-Small's 80"–82" range, and the ZipTech modular skirt system ships with three skirt lengths so the drop over the cabinet adjusts without a custom order. Cabinet sizes can change between model years, so confirm with two quick measurements.
The AIRCAP 1 costs $1,195 in every size, including the pump, three ZipTech skirt lengths, and tie-down straps, with free US shipping and 30-day returns. Unlike a foam cover it has no foam core to waterlog, so it stays at its original 35–40 lb weight for life.
The AIRCAP 1 X-Small weighs 35–40 lb and keeps that weight permanently — its sealed drop-stitch air core cannot absorb water. A foam cover starts at 40–75 lb and gains weight as the foam saturates.
