Jacket for Wheelchair Users

The Jacket for Wheelchair Users is designed for those who have trouble putting on/taking off a regular jacket while in their chair. Leaving the front zipped, one slides the sleeves up his/her arms then fastens together the back (or is assisted in doing so). Some types utilize snaps, others Velcro(r). Depending on brand, the jacket may be made of warmth-providing material (e.g., Polartec(r)) or is fleece-lined inside, and many come with attachable hoods.

Cost: $50-$150
