The Cold PodIce Bath Tub XL Cover: Insulated and Silver UV Heat Reflective Cold Plunge Tub Cover, Waterproof and Zip Up All Weather Resistant Protective Lid

I bought a cold plunge tub this summer. While it doesn't get extremely hot here (near the beach in so cal), the black tub would warm up during the day and I wasn't able to get it down to the temperatures I wanted, no matter how much Ice I put in it (I know I put 70 lbs in one time, and it dropped from about 76F to something like 58F). I was frustrated to realize the tub would be effective only in the winter, so I took it down for the past couple of months. I wished it at least had a reflective cover.This is a great solution! Besides being reflective, it clearly has sturdy insulation internally. And the cover is above the tub, whereas the tub's own cover is black and floating on the surface, transferring heat in when the sun's up. That means that the tub water could conceivably get hotter than the air temperature if you can't keep it in the shade—unless you have this.This cover keeps the tub from heating up in the day, the sun is no longer hitting black, but a reflective surface that further has insulation under it, plus an air gap to reduce heat transfer. And the fact that the cover zips over the tub keeps out the small leaves and pollen that were finding their way into the water with the tub's floating cover.About the fit: My cold plunge tub ("Frosty") is listed at 120 gallons, so I ordered the XL size. But I calculated the tub capacity from the dimensions, and it's probably closer to 90 gallons, so this cover is noticeably bigger around than my tub. But it's not a problem at all, the cover is stiff enough to stand up, you don't need a tailored fit for this to work out just fine. And my tub has inlet and output fittings for a chiller, so the looser fit is actually better.This is a must-have, if you won own of these kinds of tubs. You'll save the money back on the ice requirements alone. As a bonus, less debris will end up in your tub.

this ice bath is very nice, cool color, easy set up, small footprint and most of all the price is very affordable. the ice pod is a reliable company and makes quality! i love the fact that it looks super cool. i use it daily for health purposes! nice price point and very easy to drain and move.
