A cover traps a pocket of air against the valve and adds a layer of insulation — the thing the drip method does with running water, but for one-time cost instead of every cold night&rsquo;s water bill. The honest runner-up is the <strong>MANUMARINE 2-pack</strong> at ~$13 if you want a taller dome for deep-set or oddly shaped bibs.</p>
