Why the Small fits the Model 271
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 Model 271's 83" x 83" 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 Model 271 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.
