The Softopper is a brand of truck bed cover or truck cap designed to provide protection and versatility for pickup truck owners. It is known for its soft and flexible design, as opposed to traditional hard truck bed covers or caps made of materials like fiberglass or aluminum. Here are some key features and information about the Softopper truck cover:
Material: Softoppers are typically made of high-quality, durable, and weather-resistant fabric. This material is similar to what you might find in convertible car tops or camping tents.
Design: The Softopper is designed to be lightweight and easy to install. It can be folded or rolled up when not in use, allowing for full access to the truck bed.
Versatility: Softoppers are versatile and can be used for various purposes. They provide protection for the cargo in your truck bed from the elements, including rain, snow, and UV rays. Some models also offer security features to keep your belongings safe.
