20 Best Faucet Covers For Winter (2023 Updated)

I didn’t know they even made the hard plastic spigot covers like this one until I found it on the Zoro site looking to replace the old foam one I had. I ordered it & loved the hard exterior with the foam inside.

The color was like a rust color that nearly matched the color of the brick on my house. However, my resident raccoon liked it as much as I did, also! For some reason, he started chewing pieces of the foam one off at night.

Then one morning, the last foam one was completely ripped off lying on the ground. So I found these & thought, “Problem Solved. ” He STOLE IT!! I went out yesterday morning. It was 18F. And this entire cover was gone & nowhere to be found.

I thought it would deter him, but he liked it as much as I did, I guess! lol So I will be placing yet another order with Zoro to order more of these. Thankfully, I ordered another foam one with my last order just to have a spare on hand.

So word of caution – you will love this product, but the resident raccoons will, too! :).

We have a few of these at home and recently I bought another one to replace a cheaply made cover bought somewhere else. I love how you can adjust the string to make sure that it’s completely secured and covered.

The cheaply made one has this velcro type and many times we lost it due to high wind. This Duck brand may cost a little bit more, but worth the cost. We had snow storm in TX back in February and all of our outdoor faucets were fully protected.

After two random freezes last year and a lot of busted pipes around the area, I did not want to be without a cover for this year. We used beach towels and tape last year, and barely made it through the freezes.

I wanted to be sure to be better prepared with an actual faucet cover this year to prevent any damage to our pipes. It goes on so easily and fits perfectly. This is definitely something you want to have before you truly need it!.

I love this soft flexible “sock” faucet cover for my outdoor faucets. It is the perfect size. I have a narrow space where the front of the house faucet is located and this fits perfectly. The draw string is also very nice and easy to draw it tight around the base of the faucet.

It is for a small outdoor faucet that sets quite flush with the house (does not have a “long neck”).

They’re very soft, not scratchy as often wool is from China or other countries. They’re doing a finer job of selling quality wool (or it was the brand, who knows). Not sure how well they’ll wash, but these are perfect for slipping under boots or just to bed, to keep a diabetic foot warmer.

They’re also not constricting. Only negative is they do run small but these fit my mom’s size 6. 5-7 perfectly so perhaps they also sell larger sizes too. WELL WORTH THE MONEY SPENT AND THE WAIT TO RECEIVE.

So easy to put on, i hope the insulation is good enough to protect the faucet when night temperatures dip in the teens. The packaging claim is “help prevent pipes from freezing”, but no specific data is listed.

I have used the foam version of the insulated faucet and found them hard to use and the attachment strap easily broken. This unit was very robust and attached easily and securely to the faucet.

i received a white cover not like the grey one on the picture. the foam is halfway attached. around the whole cover. so now i need to get glue to fix so its more like a $10 cover. unable to attach pics to prove situation over 5mb.

I ordered two of these covers and they both came in the mail broken with cracks down the sides. I had to use duct tape to fix them. It took two weeks for them to be delivered and I did not have time to wait for replacements.

Have used these on every house I’ve owned. No freeze ups so far after we just had a week of -20F. My last set went with my old house after 5 years and were still going strong

I use these for my outside faucets and they seem to have performed well over time. Note that they will break easily if roughly handled since they are styrofoam. But this should be expected of styrofoam.

As for their intended purpose of keeping the taps from freezing, I’ll say they do the job.

Easy to attach, held up this season (the OK blizzard of “21) in over a seek of below freezing and several days of below 0. I had NO outdoor faucets frozen. Also a good value. I will buy again.

These are well worth the cost and minimal effort to install when you look at the potential damage frozen water faucets can cause.

I’m very pleased with my purchase of the Outdoor Faucet Covers. They are larger than I had anticipated, but are very well-made, look good, and are a reasonable price. They fit over my faucets nicely and their long cords let me secure them tightly.

I appreciate the comfort they are giving me that I will not have a frozen faucet and broken pipe issue as I did once several years back. what a mess that was. Thank you, Ultima Ripstop for this product, I will definitely be shopping with you again.

I have used Cover Store faucet covers for years and had used the less expensive ones. they were good and did last many years, but now that the ties have frayed and broken, I felt it was time for new covers and I decided to opt for the Ultima covers.

the quality is much better than my old covers. The fabric feels thicker, as does the insulation. But the best part is they are slightly larger in size, which is terrific for my 2 outdoor spouts. the fit is much better.

So far, I’m very please with this purchase. I hope the quality last for many, many years.

This little cover is nicely made. Easy to install and fits snugly on the spigot. Fingers crossed no broken spigot this winter. I also installed the styrofoam spigot cover purchased from one of the major home stores on top for added protection.

My shut off valve for my outdoor faucet is very hard to get at. So instead of crawling under my kitchen sink for it, we just put this sock on outside. This is the second one I have purchased. They last for years even in bad winters.

The first one is still usuable after many years, but I thought since there was a small tear better to purchase a new one. Very inexpensive and works well.

Used these for my three outside faucets and they are absolutely amazing. Just in time for our cold front and I must say they really live up to their manufacturer. Very easy to install, total coverage and they are quite insulated, the velcro ties are wonderful and keep them in place perfectly regardless of the wind and snow.

I have tried many others and the worse are the styrofoam. by far these do the job perfectly and fit like a glove. I will never use any other. the price too was great and by far the best for such a well made product.

Thought these would be a great thing for my outdoor faucets as I’m an older widow and can’t get to my turn off valve under the drop ceiling in the basement until one of my children come by to do it. A very good thing to have.

Got four as I can give two to my daughter for her faucets. She had one break and ruin her new refurbished basement. Thanks a heapy!.

Sock was bought to protect faucet. Looks like it will do the job I bought it for but yet I am waiting for snow that will be the real test

Looked at other items at Home Depot & Lowes but this seemed to be the best buy. Made of good quality material. Will see how it lasts thru the winter this year.

i’ve used these before, work great, easy to install over faucet

I bought this to keep my water pipe from freezing,, and I am completed satisfied I bought this,, it fix perfect nice and tight with no air want go in,, and it look so much better thank having rags wrap on water valve,, and very easy to put on,, just remember to press the small black piece so it can pull the hook tight,,,, thanks.

Plastic covered foam…and inexpensive! Thanks

Used to cover faucets with thick black plastic and ties. This item is compact and neater and easier to apply every fall. Just need to remember where I put them when I take them off each spring so I don’t have to keep repurchasing.

I have not used the product yet. The temperature in Central Texas has not stayed cold for an extended period of time. Looking forward to using the product to test its durability

I live where temperatures fall into the 20’s or below sometimes in the winter so it a must to protect all outside faucets and pipes from freezing. This item fits nicely over faucets keeping them from freezing.

So far so good! We haven’t had any really cold weather yet but they appear to be sturdy and will get the job done!

Easy to attach/detach, did not try bubble bath feature yet. Waterfall feature works great & kids love playing in & dunking their heads under the run off which directs flow away from spout area (good for rinsing hair after shampooing).

Top portion of item is hard plastic material, bottom half juts out slightly further than top part & is also hard plastic with a softer rubbery edge (in case kids bump head on)-this part has small pin hole in middle of bottom half to keep water from collecting once faucet is off-to prevent slime/mold build up.

Well designed. Item is a bit pricey @ $13, but I’m hoping it will last long time as I bathe 2 kids together & they can get a bit wild in the tub & forget to be careful with their heads near spout! Bought this to replace an inflatable version that had to be removed to access shower pull which worked well until it developed a pin hole & became unusable.

I think this is a good product, especially for toddlers & older kids!.

Love this product! I read reviews online after purchasing and you definitely have to have your shower pull up near the end of your spout to use it, which I do, so it was perfect. The button for bubble bath is easy to push for my 4 and 2 year old and the water sprays out like a waterfall like the picture.

The only thing I wish was different is the material is hard plastic. I wish it was maybe thick rubber or silicone so that if kids hit their heads, its softer. It’s probably softer than the metal but could be improved that way.

All in all great product.

I bought this for two reasons: so my small children wouldn’t get hurt bumping their heads on the faucet and so the water would fountain farther out in the tub so they would have more room the play with the flowing water.

I highly recommend it for this. I am very satisfied with its performance. The price was good. One negative is for some reason the dispenser for the bubbles leaks. I woke up the next day and the bubbles had leaked out.

Other than that a good product and we can do without the dispenser.

The items were mailed in a plastic bag. One had the corner torn, and the other 3 had indentations. The quality doesn’t match the description given. I will have to buy something different and more sturdy as these will not last.

The Frost King Outdoor Faucet Covers were exactly as pictured, and were a perfect replacement for my Very Old ones! They came to my door promptly

Now this is a story all about how My life got flipped turned upside down And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

I was extremely excited to get this product in since I have a little one that could start trying to rinse her own hair soon. The picture of the little girl rinsing her hair makes it look as if a beautiful waterfall of water comes gushing out over a wide span from the faucet.

This is not the case (in our home at least and we don’t have bad water pressure). The water rolls off the bottom “lip” but it does not “fan out” nor does it look anything like the picture. I can get the same effect by cupping my hand under the spout =/ I give it 3 stars, however, because it DOES block the faucet pretty well and unlike many other faucet “guards” we’ve have.

it allows easy access to the shower tab. We haven’t yet used the bubble bath feature but just from the initial inspection, the button was difficult for ME to push so I know my little ones won’t be able to play with it like they should be able to without it at least being worn-in first.

I would recommend this product if you are looking for a good faucet guard and can find this cheaper than $15. As a water deflector, I would suggest keeping your money and cupping your hand under the faucet should you find yourself in need of a bath-time “waterfall” =).

I’ve had this product over 2 years, and it’s still going strong today. Has nice, soft material for those accidental head bumps. You can put bubble bath in the top; however i found that it tends to leak out after a few days.

I’ve had a few too many unwanted bubble baths (especially with a new baby). I eventually stopped pouring the soap in the top and just set some on the bottom of the spout, prior to turning the water on.

This is fine if it’s just for a tap. But if there is a hose fitting or twin adapter on the tap forget it. It simply will not cover tap and any other fitting and pull up close to the wall to provide adequate protection.

I have just had an outside tap fitted and having already bought one of these from wickes for my previous house I knew they were good. This one doesn’t fit as snugly to the wall as this tap appears to be slighlty bigger.

There is a gap underneath of about an inch but otherwise its all covered. I am going to pop some bubble wrap in the gap & hope that keeps the frost out. I still recomment the cover because I think they are worth the money.

Simple, effective, cheap and locally made. Does the job perfectly, although any adapters have to be removed from the tap because there is insufficient room inside to accommodate anything more than just the tap.

Easy to fit. Works well. Cap removal to access tap is easy and securing the caps together is a great idea to prevent loss or misplacement. The smaller cap for the tap handle cover could do with being a bit bigger – it is distorted by the arms of the tap when fitting.

Saw this on a friend’s tap and though I’d try one. Easy to fit on a standard tap. You will need 3 cable ties to fix it properly but string will do. You may struggle to get a snap on hose onto the end of the tap due to the snug fit but you can cut it down.

Otherwise you can use it as normal.

its a simple foam cover made from pipe lagging and uses plastic caps (spray can tops?) to hold it all together. As i said simple and easy to make if youve got the time, else buy one of these. How long they will last, I have no idea, but it will stop your outside tap freezing.
