What is the difference between Impact’s Premium Lid and the Double Impact Lid line?

The lid lines are exactly the same in material, manufacturing process and quality. The only difference is the reinforced hingeline that the Double Impact Lid offers. The Double Impact lid has 3” of additional plastic added to the hingeline. All front load lids have 6 closed, reinforced knuckles and come with the added UV protection.

Why don't all of your lids come with the Double Impact hingeline?

Field testing has proven that the lids that take the most abuse are the 6 and 8 yard front load lids. Therefore, at this time those are the only lid types that have the reinforced hingeline.
