Under the Weather WeatherPod Large Upper-Body Pod – 1-Person Wearable Pod for Manual & Electric Wheelchairs and Folding Chairs, Protection from Cold, Wind and Rain – Red

Best purchase i have made for my power chair. It blocks cold and rain well. I would recommend better instructions and folding is a pain for a handicapped individual.

my original concerns about the durability of this product were quickly displaced. I has used it in high winds..although turning it slightly so a corner is straight into the wind helps considerably, rain, and snow. I have even gone out without gloves or hat in very cold weather and not felt the cold at all. I have never seen my breath while inside this protective pod even on very very cold days. Truly remarkable.

We are really happy with this product. I use a standard size power wheelchair and hate going out in the rain. I’ve tried several wheelchair umbrellas, and they were all pretty useless. I am easily chilled, but I don’t like having to wear lots of extra layers which add too much bulk. I have one rain cape from Adaptations by Adrian which I do like as far as keeping me warm and dry, but it doesn’t also cover my backpack so then when I go to get anything out of it there’s always water everywhere. The Chairpod solved all these issues. It’s warm, dry, and covers both me and the wheelchair. The window zippers are quite easy to use. It doesn’t cover my lower legs, but I don’t have much feeling there anyway. Someone else would probably want to use some kind of rain suit to keep that area dry. Chairpod adds almost no width to my power chair, so I can still go through regular doorways. The belt buckle on the vertical strap that is supposed to hold onto the back of the chair it’s too hard for me to use so I often just skip that. It doesn’t seem to make any difference, I think because my chair arms are pretty long So the chair part is stretched out and fits quite tightly anyway. I do have my helper take it off and fold it up before I go in a store or get on paratransit, and that process is a little slow but doable. I wish it was just a little easier to get out of by myself and that the belt buckle didn’t require so much grip strength, but all in all I’m really happy with it.

I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT WAS A LITTLE TOO SMALL FOR MY SCOOTER AND I AM TOO OLD TO GET IT FOLDED BACK UP AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY STRONG.
