I love this poncho! The workmanship is first class. The poncho is beautiful, soft, and warm. It is absolutely perfect for travel. It is light but warm and having a garment that goes over your head, frees up your hands when moving suitcases and such and makes it a little harder to leave behind. The solid black color makes it perfect to go with anything. I bought a similar one in Equador years ago but it got lost during a move of residence. I have been looking for a replacement for several years.
