All-Season Wheelchair Weather Protection

The Veltop Cosy 3 is designed to provide reliable weather protection for wheelchair users year-round. Its modular design gives wheelchair users practical protection in all seasons. Whether you need shade in summer, shelter from autumn rain or extra comfort in colder weather, this modular system adapts quickly to suit the conditions.

Use the canopy alone for shade in sunny weather, add the front windshield for protection from wind and rain, or fit the lower leg apron for complete coverage in colder or wetter conditions.

The Veltop Cosy 3 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical wheelchair rain canopy, wheelchair sun canopy or powerchair weather cover.

7 Configurations. 365 Days of Protection.

The Veltop Cosy 3 features a fully modular design, allowing you to adjust your level of protection throughout the day.

Sun Protection Shield

Use the UV-resistant canopy on its own for shade and protection from direct sunlight.

Wind and Rain Guard

Add the transparent front windshield to help block wind and rain while maintaining a clear field of vision.

Full weather cover

Attach the lower leg apron for added protection for your legs, lower body and wheelchair controls, including joystick electronics on powered wheelchairs.

Quick-Fold Design

The canopy retracts behind the seat in around 2 seconds, making it easy to respond to changing weather. The full system can also be removed without tools in under 30 seconds.

Compatible with Manual Wheelchairs and Powerchairs

The Veltop Cosy 3 is designed to fit most manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs.

It includes both horizontal and vertical fixing brackets to suit wheelchairs with:

one horizontal tube behind the seat, or
two vertical tubes behind the seat

This makes it a practical option for wheelchair users seeking flexible, dependable weather protection in the UK.

Adjustable Fit for Comfort and Coverage

The updated Veltop Cosy 3 design allows it to adapt to the width of your seat and the shape of your wheelchair. This helps provide a more secure fit while improving comfort, protection and visibility.

The lower leg protection is easy to adjust, with Velcro fastenings and zip connections for straightforward fitting and removal.

Clear Visibility in Wet and Windy Conditions

The transparent front panels are designed to provide good visibility while helping shield you from the elements. This wide-angle view helps you stay aware of your surroundings while still benefiting from effective weather protection.

Its low-profile design also makes the Veltop Cosy 3 practical for travel, as it can fit into many accessible vehicles without needing to be removed.

1. Configuration A: The Sun & Shade Base

Primarily used as a sunshade or for protection against light rain.

Best for: Summer use, urban areas with frequent short trips, and users who want a lightweight, low-profile look.
Key Benefit: It provides excellent UV protection while keeping the sides completely open for maximum airflow.

2. Configuration B: The Wind & Splash Guard

Transparent front windshield on the canopy.

Best for: Windy environments or areas with light to moderate rain.
Key Benefit: It creates a "wind-break" effect, protecting your face and chest from direct air blast and driving rain while you move.

3. Configuration C (The "Cosy Plus 3"): Total Protection

This is the "Full House" model. A two-part leg apron zips/velcros to the front windshield.

Best for: All-season use, cold winds, or heavy rain.
Key Benefit: It is the only configuration that fully shields the joystick and electronics while keeping your legs and feet dry. It turns the wheelchair into a semi-enclosed cabin.

Which one should you choose?

Choose A if you mostly worry about the sun and want the simplest, lightest version.
Choose B if you often face "driving" rain or wind but don't mind having your legs exposed (or if you already use a separate lap blanket).
Choose C if you want 100% weather protection and peace of mind.

Veltop Cosy 3: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will the Veltop Cosy 3 fit my specific wheelchair?

The Veltop Cosy 3 is designed to be universally compatible with the vast majority of power and manual wheelchairs. It attaches to the vertical or horizontal tubes behind the seat (often the headrest or backrest supports).

Pro Tip: If your chair has a very non-standard backrest, just check for two points of contact where the L-shaped mounting poles can be secured.

2. How difficult is the Veltop Cosy 3 installation?

The first setup usually takes about 20–30 minutes using the included Allen keys. Once those mounting brackets are in place, the rest of the system is "plug and play." You can slide the canopy on or off in seconds without needing tools again.

3. Can I fit my wheelchair in an accessible vehicle with the canopy attached?

Yes! This is one of the Veltop's best features. Because the system is only 24.4 inches (62 cm) wide and has a total height of approximately 54 inches (138 cm), it typically clears the entry of most side-entry or rear-entry accessible vehicles. If it's still too tall, you can simply retract the canopy or slide the top poles down in two seconds.

4. Is it safe to use in high winds?

The Veltop Cosy 3 is built with a sturdy frame and aerodynamic shape, but like any canopy, it can act as a sail in extreme gusts. We recommend:

Normal use: Up to 15–20 mph (25–30 km/h).
High winds: It is best to retract the canopy or remove the transparent panels to reduce wind resistance.

5. Does the windshield fog up in the rain?

The modular design allows natural airflow through the sides, significantly reducing "fogging" compared to fully sealed rain covers. If you experience condensation, slightly tilting the top canopy forward or leaving the side zips partially open usually clears it right up.

6. How do I clean and maintain the transparent panels?

To keep your visibility crystal clear:

Do: Use a soft microfiber cloth and mild soapy water or a dedicated plastic cleaner (like those used for boat windows).
Don't: Use abrasive sponges or window cleaners with ammonia, as these can scratch or cloud the clear PVC over time.

7. Can I use the joystick easily while covered?

Absolutely. The front windshield and lower leg apron are designed to drape over the controls without interfering with your hand movements. The transparent material ensures you can always see your joystick or control screen clearly.
