For this revolutionary wheelchair jacket we rolled the extra mile. The QT Jacket is developed with the help of our ambassadors and quad- and tetraplegics. Together we came up with the 50/50 fit. The ideal solution to take care of the ‘belly’ and ensure a good fit around the shoulders.
The outer shell of the wheelchair jacket is made of GEO TECH Storm 3Layer fabric, which is: breathable, windproof and waterproof.
The insulation is guaranteed by Primaloft® Gold ECO insulation, this is known as the absolute epiphany of insulation, there is simply no better option. A bit more on the chest and shoulders and a bit less on the lower back (backrest) and arms (for good range of motion).
The zip we used is a Magzip®
• Magnetic base allows for easy starting and single handed use
• Minimum dexterity required to close the zipper
• Zipper base holds together and meets all industry standards
• Easy and natural feel when unzipping
