What Are the Benefits of a Twill Soft Top for Your Truck?

When choosing a soft top for your truck, the fabric is one of the most important components of the entire design. Because the canvas makes up such a large portion of the design, impacting durability, insulation, weather resistance, and overall performance. The material you choose directly impacts how your truck handles changing conditions, daily use, and long-term wear.

Our classic Softopper® vinyl fabric has long been trusted as part of one of the most adaptable truck bed cover solutions available. Now, we’ve taken the original to the next level with Premium Black Twill, built for truck owners who expect the best from their gear. 

The 3-layer Premium Twill fabric is thicker, better insulated, and engineered to resist fading over time. We selected OE-grade soft top material that has been proven and time-tested by leading Wrangler and Bronco soft top manufacturer, Bestop — delivering trusted performance in real-world conditions. 

Designed to help your truck maintain that “new look,” the weatherproof woven acrylic outer layer provides excellent resistance to weathering, fading, and dirt, while its dark matte black finish complements any truck color.

Choosing Between Premium Black Twill and Standard Vinyl

When comparing soft top fabric options, both Premium Black Twill and Standard Vinyl are built to protect your truck and handle everyday use. The difference comes down to insulation, finish, and overall feel.

Standard Vinyl has long been a proven, durable choice within the Softopper® lineup of truck soft top materials. Built from rugged 2-ply sailcloth with a weather-protective vinyl coating, it delivers dependable waterproof protection, UV resistance, and long-term durability. It comes standard with a clear rear window and is available in black, grey, and tan.

Premium Black Twill is designed for truck owners who want more from their twill soft top. Its triple-layer construction combines a weatherproof woven acrylic outer layer, a polyester inner layer for added durability and insulation, and a vinyl backing that provides thermal and sound-reducing properties. The result is a thicker, quieter, and more refined fabric with a dark matte black finish and soft-touch feel. Premium Black Twill comes standard with a dark-tinted rear window and is available in black only.

Which fabric is right for you?

Both options are built to perform, but the right choice depends on how you use your truck and what matters most to you.

Choose Standard Vinyl if you want:

  • Proven durability for everyday use
  • Waterproof, UV resistant protection
  • A classic Softopper® look with multiple color options
  • A more affordable option
  • A dependable, practical fabric built for daily versatility

Choose Premium Black Twill if you want:

  • A thicker more insulated fabric
  • Enhanced fade resistance to help keep the “new look” longer
  • A refined matte black finish with a soft-touch feel
  • An upgraded dark tinted rear window

Both options are built to perform, but the right choice depends on how you use your truck and what matters most to you.

Standard Vinyl

At the end of the day, your truck works hard — and your bed cover should match that energy. Whether you’re commuting during the week, hauling gear on the weekend, or navigating changing seasons, the right fabric plays a major role in how your setup performs.

If you want a reliable, cost-effective solution with proven weather protection, Standard Vinyl remains a durable and practical choice among today’s soft top fabric options. It’s built to handle everyday use while keeping your truck bed covered and protected.

If comfort, insulation, refined appearance, and long-term fade resistance matter more to you, Premium Black Twill delivers a noticeable upgrade. Its multi-layer construction, quieter ride, and matte black finish elevate what a modern twill soft top can offer — without sacrificing the versatility Softopper® is known for.

No matter which material you choose, both are engineered to provide dependable protection and everyday adaptability. It simply comes down to how you want your truck to look, feel, and perform.
