Warm items size chart

All our footmuffs, leg covers and thermal wraps use one size chart for everyone – men and women alike. Measure yourself carefully while seated or lying down and match your measurements to the table.

Between two sizes? Choose the larger one. If one measurement points to a bigger size – for example your hips – take that size.

Find your size

Enter the measurements you have – we'll suggest the size that fits all of them.

How to choose your size by body measurements

To find your ideal size you need three measurements.

Waist: measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.

Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Thighs: measure around the fullest part of one thigh.

A note on the waist: our trousers have an adjustable waist, so if the size fits your hips and thighs comfortably, the waist can differ by roughly 20% and still fit well.

Measuring while seated or lying down

Standing is not always possible, and you can measure just as accurately sitting in your chair or lying down.

Waist: if you are seated, lean slightly to one side to expose your natural waistline. Lying down, simply find your natural waist and measure around it.

Hips: pass the tape around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping it as level as you can.

Thighs: measure around the fullest part of one thigh with the leg relaxed.

No measuring tape? Use a piece of string

A ribbon, rope or piece of string works just as well.

Wrap it comfortably around the area you are measuring while seated or lying down, mark the point where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler.

Compare with a garment you already own

For an even closer fit, measure a pair of trousers or a top that already fits you well.

Lay the item flat, measure the relevant dimensions such as inseam, waist width and hip width for trousers, or chest width and sleeve length for tops, then compare them with the garment measurements on the product page.

Our trousers have an adjustable waist, so if the hips and thighs fit, the waist can differ by around 20% and still fit well. Measuring while seated or lying down is fine — that is how most of our customers do it.

Description

Warm wrap for the spine, kidneys and bottom of wheelchair users — the areas that lose heat fastest when you sit outside in the cold. Use The Base on its own, or attach it to any Vilber's ThermoShell or Combi leg cover for a complete winter system.

Key features

Covers the spine, kidneys and bottom to keep core heat in while seated
Connection points attach to all Vilber's ThermoShell and Combi leg covers, holding the whole system together and stopping the front cover from sliding down
3M™ Thinsulate™ J250 insulation: warm without bulk, stays warm even when damp
Hard-wearing Oxford outer that stands up to daily scuffs

Materials (3 layers)

Oxford outer: 100% polyester with a water-repellent coating, highly resistant to abrasion, tearing and scratching
Insulation: 3M™ Thinsulate™ J250, water resistant
Lining: thick polar fleece, 100% polyester, quick-drying

Sizing

Use our men's size chart and choose by your larger measurement — waist or hips. The model is 158 cm tall and wears S (XS would fit her better).

Care

Machine wash at 40 °C (104 °F). Do not tumble dry; hang or lay flat to dry. Do not iron.

Where we ship
All of Europe, including non-EU countries such as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Serbia and Montenegro. Outside Europe we ship to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel and South Africa.

We currently do not ship to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, the rest of Asia, the rest of Africa or South America.

Duties and taxes
For the whole EU, Norway, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand we pay the duties and taxes ourselves — your parcel arrives at your door with nothing extra to pay.

For all other destinations, customs duties and local taxes are payable by the buyer on arrival. For the United Kingdom, adaptive clothing is in principle VAT exempt, but there is no dedicated customs code for these products, so in practice the charge is usually collected at the border and has to be reclaimed from HMRC afterwards.

Dispatch and delivery
Orders are dispatched within 5 working days unless the product page states otherwise. Delivery time then depends on the destination country, the carrier and the delivery method you choose. In exceptional cases, such as pre-sale items, we reserve the right to dispatch within up to 45 calendar days, and we will always tell you beforehand.

We deliver with parcel lockers or courier services. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout, before you confirm the order.

Returns and exchanges
We do not provide return labels, and return shipping is paid by the buyer. If you would like a different size, we offer one free exchange per order. If you are unsure about sizing, fit or any detail of the product, contact us before ordering — we will help you choose the right option.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to receive my order?

Many of our products are in stock, others are made to order. In most cases we ship within 1 to 5 days. If demand is unusually high, which tends to happen after exhibitions, we let you know about any delay. The same applies to orders that include a length adjustment.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address and selected shipping method. Orders can be delivered by courier or to an available parcel locker or collection point.

Can I return an item, and can you send me a return label?

You have two months from delivery to return an item. We set that period deliberately long, knowing how unpredictable daily life can be.

As a small workshop we cannot provide prepaid return labels, so returns are sent at your own cost. Once we receive and inspect the item we refund you within 3 business days. If you want to exchange for a different size, we cover sending the replacement once. Items made to your own measurements cannot be returned.

Is your clothing easy to wash and care for?

Yes, and we design for it deliberately. Even our multi-layer insulated pieces go through a regular washing machine cycle. Adaptive clothing should fit into your routine, not add another complicated step to it.

How does the front access panel work?

On garments with this feature the front panel drops down to give direct access for catheterisation without removing your trousers. From the outside it looks like an ordinary pocket, so the function stays private unless you choose to use it.

Customer reviews

Perfect!

Very well made items, thank you for the assistance with choosing a size based on measurements. The items all fit as we hoped and will be perfect for the cold weather we are moving to in Canada. Many thanks for providing such an accessible product!

Easy to put on and makes a real difference in the winter weather

Easy to put on and makes a real difference in the winter weather.

I ordered the wrong size

Only thing wrong with it is that I ordered the wrong size. Very warm and comfortable. I just need it to get cold enough here for me to wear them outside.

Reviews in Other Languages

Ein sehr gutes Produkt

Ein sehr gutes Produkt. Wir sind bestens zufrieden. Danke dafür.

Sitzt perfekt, wärmt und top Qualität

Sitzt perfekt und wärmt sehr gut im Bereich des Rückens, wenn der Rollstuhl am Rücken offen ist (keine durchgängige Sitzschale) und kann so bei Bedarf genutzt werden. Ein zusätzlicher warmer Fußsack kann darüber getragen werden. Sehr gute Verarbeitung und Qualität.

Praktisch und bequem

The Base schützt effizient gegen Kälte in der Lücke zwischen einer Jacke und eine Beinbedeckung, ohne zu viel Platz zu nehmen. Besonders schön ist die Isolierung gegen die Seitenteile des Rollstuhls. Dass es nicht hochrutscht mit der Bewegung der Arme beim Schieben ist ein großer Vorteil.
