The Wheely Cape

Who is the Wheely Cape designed for?

The Wheely Cape was specially designed for children and adults who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or adaptive seating systems. Traditional winter coats and ponchos are bulky, difficult to put on, and don't accommodate wheelchair frames or harness systems. The Wheely Cape provides comfortable, full-body protection from cold, wind, and rain without sacrificing mobility, comfort, or safety.

How does the 3-in-1 design work for different weather conditions?

The Wheely Cape is built for year-round versatility using a simple system:

  • Complete Cape (Outer Shell + Inner Fleece): Maximum warmth and wind/water protection for cold winter weather.
  • Outer Shell Only: A lightweight, water-resistant rain and wind shield ideal for wet, mild days.
  • Inner Fleece Only: A soft, cozy standalone layer for chilly autumn or spring days.

Bottom zip closures make it quick and easy to attach or detach the inner fleece lining as the weather changes.

How does the cape accommodate wheelchair users and harness systems?

Unlike standard outerwear, the Wheely Cape features a split-back design. The back flap can be placed comfortably between the wearer and the wheelchair seat to keep them dry without bunching up behind their back. When rear access isn't needed, the back can be zipped closed. Additionally, adjustable side-seam toggles allow you to shorten the length for a perfect fit, and reflective safety tape along the shoulders and lining zippers provides high visibility in low-light conditions.

How do I choose the right size for a child or adult?

The Wheely Cape is available in both Children's and Adult sizing, each offered in two size options (S/M and L/XL).

What materials are used, and how do I wash the Wheely Cape?
