4 Years in Alaska: How the FLATED AirTopper Holds Up in Extreme Conditions

  • 2 min read

When it comes to truck bed toppers, real-world performance matters—not just in ideal conditions, but in the environments that truly test durability. For one FLATED customer in Alaska, the FLATED AirTopper has proven it can handle it all.

Gary Gernstein has been using his AirTopper on a standard bed truck for over three years in Alaska, and his experience is simple: it works. As he put it, “I can tell you that it has held up well in our Alaska weather. Strong winds, snow, ice and frigid temps.”

Over the years, his topper has endured consistent harsh conditions while continuing to function as intended. Even after extended use, when a zipper on the rear window needed replacement, we were able to get him a new part quickly—because at FLATED, supporting our customers is part of the package.


Gary has been a loyal AirTopper owner for years and considers himself a member of the FLATED family for life. “It’s rare to find a quality product and more rare to find exceptional customer service,” he said.

One interesting detail is that Gary’s AirTopper predates our MR66 size altogether. At the time, a slightly longer configuration was the best available option for his truck. Years later—and countless Alaska winters—it’s still in service, highlighting both how far the product line has evolved and how well these toppers endure over time.

For anyone considering a truck bed topper built for real-world use, the AirTopper offers more than convenience—it offers durability, reliability, and peace of mind, even in extreme weather. From everyday driving to Alaska winters, the FLATED AirTopper is built to be used, loved, and relied upon for years.
