My product for wheelchair users

My basic designs are now done

Hi there!
I am designing a product for wheelchair users who love to/would love to go out no matter what the weather. The product will be a liner and or footmuff which will be specially designed to suit as many needs and wheelchairs as possible. It will be designed to keep users warm, comfortable, dry and protected from the wind. It will also have extra features, such as somewhere to keep valuables (eg. Phone, tablet, purse/wallet, keys) safe.
How can I put this without it sounding wrong?
They look disabled, does that make sense?
I'm 6' 4" and aged 49, grade one hair and a beard and I don't want a product that looks like it's designed for an 80 year old woman!
How would your product address that?
So, do you know how long it might be till they are ready to sell? Are you thinking for Autumn / Winter 2017?
I agree with above! Products out there are dreadful, bland... I want colour and style! My legs are freezing! And I use a blanket but they have holes in from where its got trapped in the wheels...
Also... is there a chance you might make them for larger people too. I;m losing weight but still big and cant find anything to fit! Also..... not too expensive would be helpful as otherwise it will be way out of reach,...
Hope its going really well!

Just a small slot at the side so you don't have a gap if you put it underneath?
