Benefits
- Easily slipped over an individual while seated in a wheelchair. It fits securely like special-purpose clothing - can be left in position during activity. 2 Sizes accommodate almost all individuals!
- Perfect for wheelchair users with reduced circulation in their legs. It keeps you warm from nose to ankle without restricting movement or getting caught in wheelchair wheels.
- Tuck hands underneath in lap to keep warm or bring out to drive with hand controls unrestricted.
- Warm enough for Minnesota's blustery winters yet breathes well enough, it can be worn indoors for hours without overheating when getting a chill.
Features
- Two Quilted, Reversible Layers of the densest, softest, coziest Polartec Microfiber Fleece
- Wind and water-repellent, Stain Resistant Polartec Microfiber Fleeces are expensive but top quality, durable, and long-lasting.
- Cozy Warmth - Roll Neck Up or Down
- Easy Sleeve Closure with Velcro
- Sleeveless arm flaps with velcro closures under the wrist allow even C5 quadriplegics with restricted arm movement and limited strength to flip it on over their head or take it off INDEPENDENTLY!
- American-made craftsmanship, Very Durable, Machine washable.
- 3 Year Limited Warranty. The oldest still looks great after ten years and 50+ washings.
The Comfort Coat reaches down to your shoulder blades or wraps around the wheelchair backrest. No need to lean forward and tuck it behind your back, uncomfortably changing your position. The wheelchair backrest already keeps your back protected and warm. This ease of taking it on and off without needing to change position or physically move makes it faster to get ready to go and also makes it comfortable to even ask a stranger if necessary, such as a waitress at a restaurant, to help pull it off.

Mark Felling, Broadened Horizons President, and the Comfort Coat's designer, has been using the prototype from early fall to late spring through Minnesota's blustery winters since 2005, and it still looks new. Mark's mother, a skilled seamstress, sewed the original prototype - Thanks, Mom! Quality is in the details - designed by the disabled for the disabled with the detailed, loving touch only a mother can add!
CLEARANCE ITEM - Our customers who have purchased these over the years absolutely love them! Unfortunately our customers don't usually think of us for clothing. And these are expensive relative to a jacket you might buy that was produced at much lower cost such as Vietnam commonly. The two layers are more than four yards of the highest quality Polartech microfiber fleece, just in the materials is expensive. They were produced by professional seamstress here in the United States. So these are a premium product and we just haven't sold enough volume to justify the inventory carrying costs. We can always produce more, or more likely a batch of 10 to 20 for any dealer or organization or anyone who would want to market these who's better at marketing clothing and fashion.
These last more than 10 years - there's never been a technical or quality issue. As a clearance item these are discounted and available only for exchange. If you find you would prefer the larger or smaller size or different color we would be happy to exchange from what's available.

This is at least the second of this model. My daughter has a power chair and uses it to get more time to use her iPad.

My son was paralyzed in an atv accident Aug 2020. He is 6'3" and 250. His injury is c6-c7. He feels so free and relaxed in the water but nobody had anything but regular life jackets so we would have to add a pool noodle to support his head and neck and a square flat float to hug in front. We also had a problem because he isn't a small man. Nothing that would allow his arms free so he could get some exercise. This life jacket has helped a lot. There are a few tweaks with the neck and crotch straps. If they weren't tight enough in the crotch area then his head could slip lower even though we had the neck piece as secured as we could. But the crotch straps when tightened too much they would be a little irritating and cause Autonomic Dysreflexia. I think I will try adding a pad of some sort around the straps. That was the only issue other than the cost, but we would pay anything to see that smile on his face! Now we just need to buy a pool for our own backyard so we don't have to go on vacation to swim. Thank You! I would highly recommend this life jacket. From a very happy mom that cried with happiness to see her son in a pool and able to move around.
I use it today for the first time. My son love it!

My husband who had been diagnosed
My husband who had been diagnosed with Bulbar ALS disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from naturalherbscentre. com after undergoing their ALS/MND natural protocol, he no longer requires a feeding tube. God Bless all Lou Gehrig’s disease Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
It was a beautiful case
I used a comfort carrier @ Disney and lost the case
