Chaps are easy to put on and take off while sitting in a wheelchair.

Chaps are trousers that only cover the wearer’s front and legs. They close with Velcro closures. They are easy to put on while sitting and are sewn to fit the wearer.

Users comments
Conny warmly recommends chaps – he doesn’t freeze as easily. They are easy to put on and take off.
