August 1st is Colorado Day, and for us at Softopper\u00ae, it\u2019s more than just a date on the calendar\u2014it\u2019s a celebration of where we came from, what we stand for, and why our products perform the way they do. As a company founded and headquartered in Colorado for the past 25 years, our identity is deeply tied to the state\u2019s rugged terrain, unpredictable weather, and adventurous spirit. Every Softopper\u00ae we build reflects that heritage.<\/p>

In 2000, Softopper\u00ae was born out of a simple but powerful idea: create a truck bed cover that\u2019s tough enough for Colorado\u2019s harsh elements, yet versatile enough to keep up with the active lifestyle of its residents. Hard shells were heavy and cumbersome. Tonneau covers were limiting. So we set out to build something different\u2014something better.<\/p>

From snow-drenched mountain passes to remote desert trails, the Softopper\u00ae was designed to handle it all. Our founders knew that if a product could perform year after year in Colorado, it could be trusted anywhere.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Today, Softopper\u00ae remains headquartered in Colorado, just miles from the very trails and roads that inspired our first designs. And while we\u2019ve expanded and built a passionate customer base all across the world, our commitment to Colorado hasn\u2019t changed. This is still where we design, test, and refine our products. It’s where our team hikes, camps, off-roads, and snowboards. And it’s where we continue to draw inspiration for future innovations.<\/p>

Our community of employees, customers, and partners reflects the spirit of the state: independent, adventurous, and always ready for the next challenge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Colorado weather is notoriously unpredictable. You can start your day under clear skies and end it in a snowstorm, thunderstorm, or dust storm\u2014sometimes all in the same weekend. That\u2019s exactly why the Softopper\u00ae is built to handle it all.<\/p>

At the core of its rugged performance is our automotive-grade convertible fabric, the same high-quality material trusted by top automakers like Jeep\u00ae, Ford\u00ae, and Chrysler\u00ae. This isn\u2019t your average canvas\u2014it features a woven construction with a UV-stabilized PVC coating, making it exceptionally water-resistant and resilient against harsh conditions.<\/p>

Whether it\u2019s intense UV rays at altitude, freezing sleet, high winds on exposed ridgelines, or heavy mountain rain, this fabric has been rigorously tested to resist fading, tearing, rot, and mildew. It\u2019s designed to protect your gear and keep the elements out, no matter how fast the forecast changes.<\/p>

Supporting it all is a lightweight, rust-proof aluminum frame\u2014strong enough to handle trail vibrations and weather extremes, without ever worrying about corrosion. Paired together, this fabric and framework system delivers true all-season performance for the real-world conditions Colorado is known for.<\/p>

And with individually serviceable components, every part of your Softopper\u00ae\u2014from hinges to tension bows\u2014can be replaced. That means you won\u2019t have to scrap the entire unit just because one part wears out. This topper is built to last as long as your truck.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In Colorado, your plans\u2014and the weather\u2014can change in a heartbeat. That\u2019s why the Softopper\u00ae is built to adapt. Its fully retractable design gives you the freedom to go from full bed coverage to open cargo space in seconds. Just fold it down and secure it with the integrated straps\u2014no tools, no hassle, no need to remove the unit.<\/p>

Whether you’re tossing in bikes for a spontaneous ride, loading up lumber after a storm, or making room for camping gear, the Softopper\u00ae transforms your setup to fit the moment. It’s like having two trucks in one\u2014a secure, covered bed when you need protection, and a wide-open hauler when you need volume.<\/p>

Need quick access? Side and rear panels roll up and secure, giving you multiple entry points without removing the top. Grab tools from the side, load coolers through the back, or let some airflow in after a muddy trail day. It\u2019s built for how you actually use your truck\u2014on the jobsite, in the mountains, or out by the lake.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Strength doesn\u2019t have to mean bulk. While many soft tops rely on heavy steel frames and oversized hardware, Softopper\u00ae uses a rust-proof aluminum frame that keeps weight low without sacrificing durability. Most models average just 40\u201345 lbs, which means one person can install, fold, or remove the entire unit with ease.<\/p>

That weight savings matters, especially when climbing steep grades or driving at elevation\u2014it helps with fuel economy, handling, and ease of use. And because the structure resists rust and corrosion, your topper stays in top shape season after season.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
