Round Iso Icebath Tub

The wall packs 8 cm of insulation – DWF (Double Wall Fabric), PVC tarpaulin and air trapped in between, working as a buffer against the outside temperature. Whenever you're not in it, the inflatable lid with its fastener belongs on top. For water in and water out there is a separate inlet and outlet – the barrel stays where it stands, you don't have to tip it or bail it out. Setting it up takes neither tools nor a second person: put it down, bring it into shape with the included hand pump, fill it. After the season: air out, fold it, backpack shut.

• Sink in upright, shoulders under water
• Fits the corner – from 95 × 95 cm footprint
• Stays cold longer with 8 cm insulation
• One person sets it up – no tools needed
  
  

Two points are worth thinking through before you buy. First the spot: filled, a tub like this puts its entire water weight onto barely one square metre, so you need level ground that takes it – terrace, garage floor or a solid balcony. Second, getting in: 103 cm is a high edge, and you climb over it twice per bath. A folding stool next to it makes that a lot more relaxed, especially when you get back out wet and chilled. Cooling runs on cold water and ice – if you want to get in several times a week, hook up the matching chiller that brings the water down to 4 °C.
