The AIRCAP 1™
Traditional Foam
Water absorption
Waterproof polyurethane-coated fabric never absorbs water — no mold, no mildew, no added weight.
Foam soaks up water within the first year, growing heavy and becoming a breeding ground for mold.
Insulation
Holds its insulating R-value for the life of the cover.
Insulating power is cut in half once wet — and keeps dropping with age.
Weight
Lightweight out of the box, and it stays that way for its whole lifespan.
Gets heavier every season until it's nearly impossible to remove safely.
Lifespan
Built to last 7–10+ years, backed by a 3-year warranty.
Typically needs replacing every 3–5 years.
