"I got this for my disabled son hes 15 and has his feet straped to his footplate to keep leg in position so the fact that this doesn't cover his feet is great and its a good size too so I know it will fit him for a long time and love that you can unzip the leg cover from the coat too"

Reviews
Very warm great zip system,
"Very warm great zip system, for wheelchair people Suggestion. Would be nice to have similar pattern style, but as a mackintosh say waterproof lighterweight fabric for wet weather in summer , say shopping , travelling etc. Think most of us would buy that version as well as nobody else doing anything other than jackets , ponchos etc then our knees legs feet get wet. .. .... compression bag per each piece would also help storage on wheelchair travelling when space tight"
Fantastic warm, weatherproof, adaptable Dryrobe
"The Adapt Dryrobe is amazing. It’s lovely and warm and the idea of it being split is so functional for wheelchair use. Much better for me in a wheelchair than my original Dryrobe Advance. My only issue is it is meant to come with a bag but this one did not and I’m still waiting for this to be rectified."
If your a wheelchair user, this is a game changer!
"I’ve been using my Dry Robe for a few months now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I use it weekly for open water swimming, and now, during the season, for warmth between water skiing sessions. The long fit and ease of movement around the arms and pelvis work really well. The feature that allows separating the top and bottom and protects the wheelchair cushion from water damage is fantastic—no more wet bottoms or backs after water sports. Tip: Measure yourself carefully and remeasure! You’ll love it. I only wish it came in different colours."
"Honestly one of the best things for a wheelchair user. Both my sister and I use them when in our chairs and they keep you super toasty and dry! The team are absolutely amazing and always give the best service and advice!"
A great prototype- with more research it will be perfect.
"I bought this for my son who is a full-time wheelchair user. Things I love- the overall idea, the way the top and bottom zip together, the warmth. Things that would make it even better- different sizes and colours, a zip rather than draw string on the bottom, or for the draw string to go tighter to stop cold air entering. an option of strap adaptation so that the straps can go under the coat and not on top- due to the bulkiness this then leaves too much room for the person inside reducing the support from the lap belt and 4-point chest harness, small holes in the seams on the shoulders and sides would allow for the straps to go inside. double zips on all sections would give more options for access to people with feeding tubes, stomas etc. Things I don't like- the grey inside, it looks like it's old and been through a washing machine and discoloured the white inside. Overall, it is a great idea, quality is good as expected of a Dryrobe but improvements could be made to make it more versatile and suitable for a larger range of wheelchair users."
Lovely, really warm and dry.
"I’d been searching for a while for something that would keep me both warm and dry whilst I was out walking my dog. I’d tried another adapted range but it wasn’t suitable for me. When I found this adapted range I was so pleased and excited to try it out. It really was what I’d been looking for, -warm but able to easily open if i should get warm -really dry and I didn’t get a puddle in my lap if it was raining at all - easy enough to get on (I found the easiest way was to get into my bed and roll on one side tuck it under me then roll into it). - it looks nice, I had so many people complement me whilst wearing it. - easy enough to remove whilst in me wheelchair. I’m so pleased with it and whilst it was a little expensive it’s very well made and I hope to get many winters use out of it. The only downside side is that it states that it can only be hans washed, thank goodness my machine has a handwashing cycle because there is so much of it that I’d never be able to wash it."
Staff. Friendly and hepful. Coat
"Staff. Friendly and hepful. Coat is nice and warm. Sorry the zip broke on the coat"
Excellent adaption of your product
"Excellent adaption of your product for disabled use. Warm , waterproof sizing accurate, on users who use slings and hoists waterproof fabric is slippy but we use ours without a sling. The ability to separate the coat section from the leg is also invaluable fabulous product just would like to see more colours now. Thank you for an inclusive product"
Top Produkt, super Service. Alles
"Top Produkt, super Service. Alles kuschelig warm. 👍 so hab ich mir das vorgestellt."
Q&A
- Any idea when the XL Dryrobe Adapt will be back in stock?
- Hi Dave I'm very sorry, but we are currently sold out of the Dryrobe® Adapt XL. We don't currently have a restocking date for the Dryrobe® Adapt, and the XL size is not in production at the moment. I'm sorry if this causes disappointment. Please contact Dryrobe® Customer Service if you have any questions—we will be more than happy to help! Team Dryrobe®
- Hi do you do them in other colours apart from black gray?
- Hello Louise Thank you for contacting Dryrobe®. The Dryrobe® Adapt is currently only in the Black Grey colou-way. Team Dryrobe®
- Please make these for children i know loads of people who would buy them! My daughter is a full time wheelchair user and loves swimming so this is what she NEEDS!
- Hi Daniel Thank you for your suggestion. Your comments will be passed along to our design team for future consideration. Team Dryrobe®
- Hi are the sleeves fleece lined or with a more coat like lining? My husband has non functioning arm so struggles to get sleeves on and need a slippery sleeve to help get it on.
- Hello Kate Thank you for contacting Dryrobe®. The sleeves have a full fleece lining. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Team Dryrobe®
- Please could you do these in plus sizes. My daughter uses a electric wheelchair and has used dryrobes for years in her wheelchair but the extra coverage of this would be perfect but needs a plus size. She loves being outdoors and gets off road in her wheelchair in the Yorkshire Dales even up Whernside one of the 3 peaks. We need one of these to keep her warm dry and not splattered in mud and water!
- Hi Ruth Many thanks for getting in touch! 😊 Dryrobes® were developed to be, first and foremost, a changing robe - therefore they are designed to be oversized and are very spacious inside. They will feel big and therefore it's important to bear this in mind when selecting a size. Please note we offer the Dryrobe® Adapt, which is designed specifically for wheelchair users. Please see this garment on our website here - https://dryrobe.com/products/dryrobe-adapt I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Team Dryrobe®
