Gamboa - Alpaca Hooded Poncho - Blue with Brown Stripes

I have had friends check out the poncho when I am wearing it, and they are amazed at how something so thin and light weight could be so warm. I have worn it with an alpaca sweater under it with the weather in the 30s (°F) and stayed quite comfortable with jeans and cotton socks. And inside, I can drop the temperature of the house 4 to 8 degrees cooler when I wear it, saving big bucks on the heating bill. It also makes a comfy blanket for sleeping on the go. About the only time I take it off on cold days is when I'm cooking, as it can get in the way, get food on it, and it presents a potential fire hazard on a gas stove. I am quite fond of the poncho.

Beautiful, soft, big, warm. I really like it. It is not thin, it does not smell bad. The blue one is a deep beautiful color. The hood is just the right size. The whole thing doubles as a large throw or blanket. But long and wide enough to cover my feet all the way to my chin unlike most throws that are too short. When worn as a poncho it has plenty of width to wrap up in and it goes to my knees. Good for a football game on a chilly evening in the bleachers. The one negative which many reviews state, is that the bottom is not finished and although nice and tight now, I see it could start to come unraveled if it catches on something and sure it will sooner or later. I may just knot it up myself along the bottom fringe, its just nice enough to put in the effort. But they should do this themselves. ill buy another for my sister. For those cold nights in Tennessee!!

the tone of blue isn't well imaged in the picture, its beautiful once you see it for yourself. this is the 6th alpaca poncho i have and love it as much as the others

Quality is very good. Thicker than I expected, lightweight and warm, great saturated colors. I am 5'10", 220 lbs. and it's a perfect fit. Length is almost to my knees. The shape is such that you can fold the front to the back then back to the front and add a belt for extra warmth and a different look. Be sure to untie the neck straps first or you'll never get it over your head. Made in Manco Kapac Province, Copacabana, Bolivia on Lake Titicaca.

Festival Poncho, keeps you warm when you need it and light weight easy to pack/carry

This poncho is wonderful. So soft and light. Warm and feels great against my skin. Fits perfectly. You can use it like a blanket. It is everything I always wanted my other ponchos to be and it is such a great price for an alpaca product of this size.

It's okay. The ends are not finished and snag in chairs then get pulled when you stand up. Leaves, needles, and other outside debris stick to it. It is soft and comfortably warm though.

It s light weigh and can be flipped over just like Clint did.m warm tight weave. love it.
