An outdoor jacket is modified with tab attached to a key ring on the zipper (see related tip). Another option for modification involves key rings attached with eyelets to the cuffs of sleeves.
See related tip for technique to take off jacket.
Users comments
To make it easier to take off a jacket independently, it is important that the jacket is not too tight under the arms and that it has a lining in a slippery fabric (like nylon).
