For wheelchair users, choosing suitable clothing is crucial for mobility and comfort. Adaptive clothing, designed to be worn while seated, is tailored to the needs of individuals who spend a significant amount of time in a wheelchair. In this blog, we share 3 must-haves when it comes to adaptive clothing and accessories.
1. Adaptive Jeans: Comfortable & Stylish
Adaptive jeans are specially designed to enhance the comfort of wheelchair users. The unique design is infused with adjustments that make daily life easier. With a lower front, they prevent excessive fabric buildup, allowing wheelchair users to move more freely without uncomfortable folds that might cause pressure points. Additionally, the magnetic closure of the jeans makes it easy to effortlessly open and close them.
The front pockets aren’t just a convenient detail; they revolutionize accessibility. Easily reachable without awkward positions, these pockets provide a convenient storage solution without compromising comfort or functionality. Moreover, the absence of seams and back pockets aims to minimize skin irritation and discomfort. This seamless design creates a frictionless experience, significantly reducing the risk of friction or pressure points. Kinetic Balance jeans excel in comfort, fit, quality, appearance, and style.
2. Winter Jacket for the Legs
A winter jacket for the legs is an innovative garment that provides protection against rain, wind and cold while maintaining comfort in the wheelchair. Made of water-repellent materials and lined with warm fabrics, this clothing item fully covers the legs and is easy to put on while seated.
The Raindek Parka and Raindek ETX are ideal for cold days; filled with THERMOLITE FL-3E 220gr. This is an eco-friendly thermal filling made from at least 35% recycled fibers, offering a waterproof, comfortable and warm solution. Looking for a non-padded raincoat for the legs? Then opt for the Raindek Long.
