GS Alderaul Round Portable Ice Bath Tub Cover for Cold Plunge Tub Outdoor

A full-height weather cover that keeps leaves, rain and sun off a round cold tub between dips.

Best for cold tubs that stay outdoorskeeping filled water clean for the next dipshading a dark tub from the sun

A cold tub that is ready when you are gets used; one that needs skimming and refilling first often does not. An outer cover is what keeps a filled tub ready outdoors. This GS Alderaul cover is a black fabric cylinder that drops over the whole tub, lid and wall, and closes at the bottom with a drawstring and buckles. The listing gives 420D Oxford fabric with a waterproof backing, and a fit for round upright tubs up to 35 in (89 cm) across and 30 in (76 cm) high.

Treat it as shade and shelter, not as insulation. The listing mentions an insulating backing but gives no thickness, and a dark tub kept out of direct sun stays cooler in any case. On a tub taller than 30 in the hem sits a little above the ground, which leaves the legs showing and the wall covered.

Tip: Measure your tub across the inflated rim before you order, and let the tub’s own lid go on first – the cover goes over both.
