We've redesigned our original wheelchair accessible jacket! Our block jacket has been designed to be easily put on and taken off whilst seated (just like our original jacket). However, it now comes with a removable back-panel so that it can be full length at the back for those who wear it in a standing position.
We've also made the swap to magnetic zips, making it even simpler to connect these at the wrist and get your jacket on in a hurry.
See our design features section below for more details.
Note: Our Block Jacket is now in standard JAM adult sizing. See the size guide for additional information.
Water resistant jacket, comfortable in the seated or standing position and easy to get on.
