FAQs
Is this poncho suitable for very windy conditions?
The poncho offers good protection against wind and rain. The part front zip and drawstring hood help to secure it, but in extremely high winds, users may need to ensure it is tucked securely around their mobility device.
How do I know if it will fit my specific wheelchair or scooter?
The poncho is designed with a generous, universal fit to accommodate most standard electric and manual wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and powerchairs. If your device is exceptionally large, it's recommended to measure its dimensions and compare them to the poncho's coverage.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Yes, the poncho is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle.
What material is the poncho made from?
It is made from durable yet breathable Polyester.
How easy is it to put on by myself?
It is designed for quick and hassle-free application, even while seated in your mobility device.
Does the poncho cover the entire wheelchair or scooter?
The poncho is generously sized to shield both the user and the majority of their wheelchair or scooter from the elements.
What should I do if the poncho gets damaged?
Inspect the poncho for tears or seam damage. Minor damage might be repairable with fabric repair kits. For significant damage, you may need to replace the poncho.
Troubleshooting
Poncho feels too large for the chair.
Tuck excess material under the seat or around the wheels, or use adjustable straps if available on your mobility device to secure it.
Water is leaking through the fabric.
Ensure the fabric has not been damaged. Check care labels and ensure it was washed according to instructions. For persistent leaks, consider a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for polyester.
Zip is difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently try to realign the zip pull and teeth. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Hood does not stay in place.
Tighten the drawstring for a more secure fit. Ensure the hood is positioned correctly over the head.
