Rain Cape for Electric Wheelchair, Model 911: High-Tech Control and Protection
Driving an electric wheelchair in heavy rain is a major source of stress: moisture can damage the controls, while the cold dulls the precision of handling. Exposure to the elements without proper gear compromises not only your comfort but also the longevity of your equipment. This rain cape provides an immediate technical solution to keep your independence intact in all weather conditions.
Why choose this model?

✔️ Waterproof and face-friendly design: the three-piece visor hood with rear Velcro adjustment moves with you without ever blocking your peripheral vision.
✔️ Enhanced active safety: the reflective strip on the back ensures you are immediately visible to drivers during nighttime or low-light travel.

Taking care of your equipment means preserving your protection.
Our clothing is designed with cutting-edge materials to face the most extreme conditions. Whether it is a PVC armor or a breathable membrane, each textile has its own requirements.
This guide concerns our PVC & Coating materials. These materials are non-porous and extremely robust. The maintenance challenge is simple: preserve the flexibility of the coating to ensure waterproofing over time.
🚿 Washing: Gentleness above all
- The ideal method: Prefer cleaning with a soft sponge and lukewarm soapy water after each use.
- In the machine: Only if necessary, on a delicate 30°C cycle, without spinning and with a mild soap.
- To avoid: Never use fabric softeners, solvents, or bleaching agents (chlorine/bleach). These chemicals "cook" the PVC, making it brittle.
💨 Drying
- The ideal method: Let dry in the open air, hung on a hanger, in the shade.
- Dangers: Tumble drying and ironing are strictly forbidden.
- Warning: Never place your equipment on a radiator or near a direct heat source. Excessive heat can cause the coating to peel or harden.
🧱 Storage
- The ideal method: Store your garment hanging on a wide hanger or laid flat.
- To avoid: Never store it tightly folded or compressed for a long period, as this marks fold lines (especially on Rubber 1000g).
- Attention point: Make sure the garment is completely dry before storing to prevent mold growth.
🩹 Repair
- In case of accidental cut, do not throw away your equipment. Use a flexible PVC repair kit or a specific polyurethane glue.
- Pro tip: Apply the repair patch on the inside to maintain waterproofing without compromising the exterior appearance.
