5 Top Features of Aqualon Edge
Perfecta Marine Technology for Added Protection
A custom cover is your only available choice if you are looking for solid protection for your boat. The Aqualon Edge is equipped with Perfecta Marine technology that reduces heat gain and keeps the interiors drastically cool. This ensures that your boat will stay cool and shielded from the elements such as abrasion, mildew, mold, salt, and sun. More importantly, the fabric is designed to breathe and better resist the sun's rays and high temperatures while remaining strong enough to handle trailering speeds. Aqualon's polyester lining ensures extra protection and better air circulation to discourage mold growth. It resists cracking, water, fading, rot, mildew, and UV rays.
Exceptional UV Performance
UV rays can cause massive damage to your boat cover. Studies reveal about 40 percent of fading in boat covers fabrics are caused by UV rays due to a photochemical reaction involving UV and visible light. The soft warp-knit polyester backing is treated to withstand UV rays and offer a layer of added protection. It has a UPF 50 rating that blocks 98 percent of the sun's rays, thus significantly reducing your boat's exposure risk. Additionally, as it is a custom cover, it provides a fitting cover that protects the entire boat from these ultra violet elements.
Vinyl Resin Top Coated
The Aqualon Edge boasts a vinyl resin-coated top that offers several advantages. The vinyl resin coating makes the fabric’s surface more impervious to damage and ensures that fabric will last longer, remain stronger, and be more resistant to weather. It is also designed to be UV ray resistant, mold and mildew resistant, and water resistant. Vinyl resin coating also ensures the fabric is easy to clean, lightweight, and colorfast to stay looking good and strong even after extended use.

What Should I Consider When Buying a Boat Cover?
When buying a boat cover, there are many factors to consider. Some of the key things to keep in mind include:
Size: Not all boats come in one size. Some are wider, longer, taller, or shorter than others. Covers, too, are made in different sizes, and knowing your boat's length from bow to stern (center line) is the first step to investing in the ideal custom cover like the Aqualon Edge cover.
Type of fabric: Boat covers are made from an array of materials, and it is important to research the type of fabric before buying one. If you are using your boat often, or you are going to leave your boat outside, you want to ensure the fabric will protect your investment from elements. Aqualon Edge covers are made of soft warp-knit polyester and treated with resin vinyl coating to make it water, mold, and mildew resistant. It is also heat, cold and abrasion, and UV resistant.
Use and style: Not all boat covers are made to look the same. Some are custom-made to fit your watercraft's style and use. If you are storing your boat outside, it is best to go for a water-resistant and lightweight cover that repels water and other elements.
Longevity: It’s important to consider the lifespan of your cover as outdoor fabrics can degrade over time. High quality fabric like Aqualon Edge can last up to 10+ years providing longevity and carefree protection for your boat.
