Size guide

These are adapted EU sizes, not standard EU sizes. Please check the chart against your own measurements before ordering — and if anything is unclear, message us first. We reply within one business day.

Finding the right fit should be effortless. Our charts are built around body measurements, not garment sizes, so measure your waist, hips and thighs and match them to the tables below.

How to choose your size by body measurements

To find your ideal size you need three measurements.

Waist: measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.

Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Thighs: measure around the fullest part of one thigh.

A note on the waist: our trousers have an adjustable waist, so if the size fits your hips and thighs comfortably, the waist can differ by roughly 20% and still fit well.

Measuring while seated or lying down

Standing is not always possible, and you can measure just as accurately sitting in your chair or lying down.

Waist: if you are seated, lean slightly to one side to expose your natural waistline. Lying down, simply find your natural waist and measure around it.

Hips: pass the tape around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping it as level as you can.

Thighs: measure around the fullest part of one thigh with the leg relaxed.

No measuring tape? Use a piece of string

A ribbon, rope or piece of string works just as well.

Wrap it comfortably around the area you are measuring while seated or lying down, mark the point where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler.

Compare with a garment you already own

For an even closer fit, measure a pair of trousers or a top that already fits you well.

Lay the item flat, measure the relevant dimensions such as inseam, waist width and hip width for trousers, or chest width and sleeve length for tops, then compare them with the garment measurements on the product page.

Our trousers have an adjustable waist, so if the hips and thighs fit, the waist can differ by around 20% and still fit well. Measuring while seated or lying down is fine — that is how most of our customers do it.

Description

We understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable, especially when you're out and about. Our Sleeve Guards are designed to empower wheelchair users to participate more fully in work, education, and social life, without the worry of soiled sleeves. We believe everyone deserves to live life to the fullest, and these guards are just one way we're helping to make that possible. Sold as a pair, these aren't just sleeve protectors; they're an investment in your comfort, confidence, and style.

Built to Last, Designed to Empower:

Tired of constantly cleaning or replacing your favorite clothing? Our Sleeve Guards are crafted from incredibly durable, military-grade 100% Cordura Nylon, a premium fabric originally developed for demanding military applications. Cordura® is renowned for its exceptional lightweight nature, water resistance, and resistance to pilling, dirt, tears, and everyday wear and tear. These guards are built to last, possibly the only pair you'll ever need, protecting your clothing day in and day out. They’re capable of gathering wide and puffy sleeves, offering superior protection.

Thoughtful Design, Ethical Production:

These Sleeve Guards are thoughtfully designed with your comfort, convenience, and style in mind. The delicate and lightweight design ensures they won't feel bulky or detract from your outfit; rather, they'll complement it, adding a touch of polished practicality. The zippered closures make them easy to adjust for a snug and secure fit. They effectively shield your sleeves from dirt, spills, and stains, keeping your clothes clean and fresh, whether you're navigating busy streets or enjoying outdoor activities. And because we care about both people and the planet, these are ethically made in Europe. This isn't fast fashion; it's a quality product, made to last.

Shipping and returns

We ship our products worldwide! Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout based on your delivery address. Here's a breakdown of our shipping rates:

Latvia: 3 EUR
Lithuania & Estonia: 5 EUR
European Union: 7 EUR
USA: 7 EUR
Rest of the World: 15 EUR

Returns:

We want you to love your purchase! You may return any unused, undamaged item within two months of the delivery date for a full refund. Please note that custom-made items are not eligible for returns. For returns, please contact us for further instructions.

Where we ship
All of Europe, including non-EU countries such as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Serbia and Montenegro. Outside Europe we ship to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel and South Africa.

We currently do not ship to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, the rest of Asia, the rest of Africa or South America.

Duties and taxes
For the whole EU, Norway, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand we pay the duties and taxes ourselves — your parcel arrives at your door with nothing extra to pay.

For all other destinations, customs duties and local taxes are payable by the buyer on arrival. For the United Kingdom, adaptive clothing is in principle VAT exempt, but there is no dedicated customs code for these products, so in practice the charge is usually collected at the border and has to be reclaimed from HMRC afterwards.

Dispatch and delivery
Orders are dispatched within 5 working days unless the product page states otherwise. Delivery time then depends on the destination country, the carrier and the delivery method you choose. In exceptional cases, such as pre-sale items, we reserve the right to dispatch within up to 45 calendar days, and we will always tell you beforehand.

We deliver with parcel lockers or courier services. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout, before you confirm the order.

Returns and exchanges
We do not provide return labels, and return shipping is paid by the buyer. If you would like a different size, we offer one free exchange per order. If you are unsure about sizing, fit or any detail of the product, contact us before ordering — we will help you choose the right option.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to receive my order?

Many of our products are in stock, others are made to order. In most cases we ship within 1 to 5 days. If demand is unusually high, which tends to happen after exhibitions, we let you know about any delay. The same applies to orders that include a length adjustment.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address and selected shipping method. Orders can be delivered by courier or to an available parcel locker or collection point.

Can I return an item, and can you send me a return label?

You have two months from delivery to return an item. We set that period deliberately long, knowing how unpredictable daily life can be.

As a small workshop we cannot provide prepaid return labels, so returns are sent at your own cost. Once we receive and inspect the item we refund you within 3 business days. If you want to exchange for a different size, we cover sending the replacement once. Items made to your own measurements cannot be returned.

Is your clothing easy to wash and care for?

Yes, and we design for it deliberately. Even our multi-layer insulated pieces go through a regular washing machine cycle. Adaptive clothing should fit into your routine, not add another complicated step to it.

How does the front access panel work?

On garments with this feature the front panel drops down to give direct access for catheterisation without removing your trousers. From the outside it looks like an ordinary pocket, so the function stays private unless you choose to use it.

Customer reviews

The product itself is great

The product itself is great.It already saved a bunch of my long sleeve sweaters or jackets from getting dirty or wet. It’s also designed with accessibility in mind. The only issue I have is that some of the seems are already ripping a bit but that’s an easy fix I can do myself. Overall I would highly recommend the product.

Best sleeve protectors

Best sleeve protectors. Doesn't cut off my circulation like other protective sleeve covers, and they don't make my arms sweat.

High quality sleeves that are perfect for the job. I will be purchasing more in larger sizes so I can fit them over bulkier clothes.

The arm floaties are very good, I really liked them. Exactly what I was looking for. They are easy to put on and open with a zipper, so you don’t have to pull them on, which is very convenient.
