Gorgeous striking color with striking pattern. Just received today - can't wait for winter. It is medium weight, as another reviewer pointed out, but it will be very warm. (This is not my first alpaca blend poncho/ruana from Alfredo Falcon.)
Everyone who received this vest as a gift, LOVES it. It is soft and flexible, not at all stiff or too heavy, yet it is warm. You are pretty much guaranteed to make a hit giving this.
