Thor's Lightning Portable 12V Air Compressor Cover
Thor's Lightning Portable 12V Air Compressor Cover
The Thor's Lightning Portable 12V Air Compressor Cover is a slip-over nylon cover for portable 12V air compressors, ARB and non-ARB alike. The nylon is puncture-resistant and sheds the stuff that kills electronics in the field — mud, rain, snow, sleet, hail. A single drawstring at the bottom cinches it down over a range of compressor footprints. No zippers, no clips, nothing to snap off on the trail.
It's built as the companion to the Refuge MOLLE air compressor mount, so a compressor that lives bolted to your rig stays covered and clean between airings-down. It works just as well on a loose compressor or one in its case, stowed in a bed, trailer, or cargo area. The cover is textured black and carries a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
One honest note: this is a weather-shedding cover, not a sealed dry-box. It keeps the elements off a stowed compressor — it isn't rated for submersion. Loosen the drawstring all the way before you pull it over a tightly-mounted unit and it slips on in seconds.

Overview
A puncture-resistant nylon cover that slips over a portable 12V air compressor and cinches with a single drawstring. Designed as the companion to the Refuge MOLLE compressor mount, but it fits most ARB and non-ARB portable units.
Key features
- Robust, puncture-resistant nylon shell that sheds mud, rain, snow, sleet, and hail
- Single drawstring bottom for a firm fit across a range of compressor footprints
- No zippers or clips — slips on and off in seconds, nothing to break on the trail
- Textured black finish; companion fit for the Refuge MOLLE air compressor mount
- 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects
Use cases
Keep a mount-up compressor (an ARB twin or similar) covered and clean between airings-down, or use it as a general weather-and-dust cover for any portable 12V compressor stored in a bed, trailer, or cargo box. It's the cheap insurance that keeps grit out of a unit that lives outside the cab.

Will it fit my compressor if it's not an ARB?
Yes. It's sized to fit most portable 12V compressors, ARB and non-ARB. The drawstring bottom cinches to a range of footprints rather than one specific model, so it adapts to different shells.
How does it stay on — any zippers or straps?
Just a single drawstring at the bottom. No zippers, no clips. You slip it over the compressor and cinch the cord. That's the whole closure, which is also why there's nothing to snap or jam on the trail.
Does it work with the Refuge MOLLE compressor mount?
It's built as the companion to the Refuge MOLLE mount, so a compressor bolted to that plate stays covered and clean. It also works fine over a loose compressor or one still in its carry case.
Is it actually waterproof?
It's weather-resistant, not a sealed dry-box. The nylon sheds mud, rain, snow, sleet, and hail off a stowed compressor, but it isn't rated for submersion. Think "keeps the elements off," not "tow it through a river."
Why does it feel cumbersome to put on sometimes?
Clearance is the usual culprit. On a tightly-mounted compressor there isn't much room to work the cover down. Loosen the drawstring all the way first, then pull it over — it goes on far quicker with the cord fully open.
How do I care for it?
Standard nylon care. Shake or knock off dried mud, let it air-dry before you stow it, and that's about it. There's no hardware to rust and no coating to baby.
