| Large, Loose sleeves and big elasticized cuffs with Velcro closures. |
Fingers won't get snagged. Soft elastic does up snugly around wrist for warmth. |
If someone needs help to be dressed, it might be that they also have little or no control over their hands. Even spastic fingers or splints have lots of room to pass through. | |||
| Loose fitting and made from lightweight polar fleece. |
High warmth to weight ratio. Goes on easily, even over a sweater. |
This garment is easy to carry when not in use. The loose fit traps more air for warmth. Having the option of wearing it with or without a sweater broadens range of temperature that the garment is good for. | |||
| Zippered back. | Eliminates the stress and strain involved with using "normal" clothing. | Since jacket goes on from the front, this feature eliminates the need to bend arm back to find armhole. | |||
| The zipper is closed at the top (back of hood) and zips down. |
Ease of donning for caregiver. | Once the sweatercoat is in place on the wearer, the zipper is right in front of the caregiver eliminating the need to stoop. Since the zipper is permanently closed, there is no need to fish around for the two ends that must be put together to zip a regular jacket. | |||
|
The Zip-up Hooded Sweatercoat is also available in a variety of attractive colours. Available in seven sizes: Child Small, Child Medium, Child Large, Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large and Adult Oversize. |
Virtually everyone can have easy-to-put-on, outerwear. | Seven sizes covers virtually everyone; small children as well as men and women up to 120 kilos. Since the fit is very loose and the style is unisex, more sizes are unnecessary. | |||
