This cape made of water-repellent fabric is ideal for passive wheelchair users. The cape falls nicely on the legs at the front and is shorter at the back so there is not too much fabric between the back and the backrest of the wheelchair. Because you put the cape on over your head, few actions are required. Also, because of the shortened back section, the wheelchair user does not have to be 'pushed' forward to get the cape between the back and the backrest. This minimises the strain on both the wearer and the carer. Practical yet fashionable.
