⚡ At a Glance
- • Weather Protection: Completely waterproof, windproof construction with reflective straps for visibility
- • Best for: Wheelchair and mobility scooter users needing full top-to-toe coverage in poor weather
- • Not ideal for: Users who prefer short rain capes or minimal coverage rather than full-body protection
Full-length poncho offers top-to-toe coverage with a drawstring-fitted hood and top zipper opening. Made from 190T polyester with a PVC coating, the material is durable and wipe-cleanable while including rear slits for pushers and reflective straps for added safety.
Easy on and off – with a drawstring-fitted hood and top zipper opening
A drawstring-fitted hood secures around the head while a zipper sits at the top for a simple entry point, allowing the garment to be pulled over seats and armrests. The design avoids complex fastenings so dressing and removal remain straightforward even in a seated position.
Quicker dressing and removal make solo outings simpler and reduce the need for assistance. The secure hood helps keep head and upper shoulders dry in gusty conditions.
Reliable waterproofing – with 190T polyester and PVC coating
190T polyester forms the base fabric and a PVC coating adds a continuous waterproof barrier, preventing water penetration through the weave. The coated surface is suitable for wipe-clean maintenance between uses.
Full waterproof protection keeps clothes and seating dry during prolonged rain. Durable construction supports repeated use without specialist care.
Pusher-friendly design – with rear slits and central reflective straps
Rear slits allow access for hands and push handles while maintaining coverage around the wearer, and reflective straps positioned centrally increase visibility in low light. The layout balances access with protection.
Carers can steer and adjust without exposing the wearer to the elements. Reflective details improve safety on dull days or during early morning and evening outings.
