Purchased this when an arm was in a sling and it was getting cold. It kept me warm when I needed. It is now in my car as an emergency garment to keep warm. It packs small and is very warm.
These are wondeful ruana's. Easily worn in the office, and in spring/autumn as outerwear. The color here is more like a medium/flecked/mottled or cocoa brown, like the lightest parts seen in the photograph.
