Sizing

Adaptive clothing sizing guide

Finding the perfect fit for your adaptive clothing should be effortless. At Vilbers.com, we understand the unique needs of our customers, especially those seeking comfortable and functional wheelchair adaptive trousers and other adaptive clothing. This guide will help you confidently select the right size, whether you're a paraplegic or quadriplegic individual, or simply looking for inclusive fashion.


How to choose your pants by body measurements

We've designed our sizing charts around body measurements to ensure the best possible fit for our adaptive trousers. To find your ideal size, you'll need to measure your:

  1. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, typically the narrowest part of your torso.
  2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the floor.
  3. Thighs: Measure around the fullest part of one thigh.

Important note on waist adjustment: Our adaptive trousers feature an adjustable waist. This means that if the size fits your hips and thighs comfortably, the waist measurement can fluctuate by approximately 20% and still provide a great fit.


Measuring from a seated or lying position

We know that standing to take measurements isn't always possible. You can comfortably and accurately measure yourself while lying down or sitting in your wheelchair. Just follow these simple steps:

  • For Waist: If you're seated, lean slightly to the side to expose your natural waistline. If lying down, simply locate your natural waist. Measure around this area.
  • For Hips: While seated or lying down, ensure the tape measure goes around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. Try to keep the tape measure as level as possible.
  • For Thighs: While seated or lying down, measure around the fullest part of one thigh. Make sure the leg is relaxed.

Don't have a measuring tape? No problem!

You can still accurately measure yourself using a simple household item:

  1. Grab a ribbon, rope, or even a piece of string.
  2. Wrap it comfortably around the area you need to measure (waist, hips, or thigh) while seated or lying down.
  3. Mark the point where the ribbon overlaps.
  4. Lay the ribbon flat and measure its length with a standard ruler.

Measure your favorite garment for a perfect match

For an even more precise fit, you can compare the measurements of your favorite well-fitting pants or shirt to the measurements of our garments. We provide detailed garment measurements for all our items. Simply:

  1. Lay your favorite item flat on a bed or flat surface.
  2. Measure the relevant dimensions (e.g., inseam, waist width, hip width for pants; chest width, sleeve length for shirts).
  3. Compare these measurements to the "Garment Measurements" provided on our product pages.

This Adaptive Hoodie is designed for individuals with limited mobility, including quadriplegics and those requiring 24/7 care. We understand the challenges of dressing, and this design prioritizes both comfort and dignity, making the process easier for both the wearer and caregiver.

Our unique wrap-around design features a hook and loop closure along one side of the back, eliminating the need to lift arms or reposition the individual during dressing. This thoughtful design ensures a smooth, comfortable experience, free from the tugging, pulling, and potential discomfort often associated with traditional clothing. Getting dressed becomes a dignified experience, respecting individual needs and promoting independence. We've also prioritized warmth, especially around the neck, by incorporating a cleverly designed hood that's secured with a discreet, almost decorative zipper.

We believe in quality and comfort. Our Adaptive Hoodie is crafted from premium materials:

  • Black: 100% cotton with velour feel inside, smooth satin feel on outside
  • Dark Grey: A warm and durable blend of 90% cotton and 10% polyester offers the perfect balance of softness and resilience. This blend ensures the hoodie withstands regular wear and tear while providing exceptional comfort.
  • Melange Light Option: For a lighter feel, our mélange light option features a blend of 80% cotton, 10% polyester, and 10% hemp. Hemp is known for its incredible strength, breathability, and eco-friendly properties. It also adds a unique texture and drape to the fabric.  
  • Brushed Interior: The 340 sq/m fabric boasts a brushed interior, providing exceptional warmth and a luxuriously soft feel against the skin.

We've considered every detail to enhance functionality and convenience:

  • Discreet Opening: A discreet interior opening to the front pocket allows easy access for ostomy bags, feeding tubes, or other medical devices. This thoughtful feature ensures comfort and discretion without compromising the hoodie's stylish design.
