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.
