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.
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.)
This sweater is both light and very warm. It also looks great. Indeed I am wearing it so much I fear I'll wear it out. If you wear it over a lighter sweater it keeps you comfortable for long car rides in freezing weather. Next year I hope I can find the same sweater in a different color.
