Alpaca Poncho for Men with Hood

I got this for my son as a gift. He is 6’2” and it fits him nicely! The length is perfect. Super soft! Warm go being lightweight as well! He loves it!

Original: Still stylish, still comfy. Just not as thick as described and drawstrings not as pictured. It's okay. Not worth the near $100 I paid for it. Don't bother with this. I've seen better for better prices at flea markets. Still looks cool, so I'm keeping it. Just not what I'd imagined. New: Okay, I've worn this every day for as long as I've had it. I was wrong. It is a lot thinner than I expected - but, BUT - the alpaca wool is extremely thermally insulating. It's super soft, warm when needed, breathes when needed, it's just great. I've been out in hot weather wearing it, it feels open and cool. I've worn it on the mountains in GA at night when it was 40 degrees out and it kept me warm. It also makes me feel like I look cool with my dads .45 and ammo belt on me hip lol. Great product. I was wrong in my initial review.

It looks amazing. I do some role-play and it adds a western feel to the scenarios. I have used Serapes before to try and have the same effect, but I have been hard press to find one without weird designs or Mayan calendars. It is super convenient to wear, I do conceal carry and its an added level of concealment. I wore it in 30°F weather and it kept me from being uncomfortably cold. I worn it in 60°F while active and I sweat under it. It isn't the best for wind chill, but if its just cold, it'll do good. At the very least, this would not be a bad thing to have in car in case you breakdown and are stuck in the cold. I've been thrown to the ground, I have fought, I have had it grabbed to prevent me from running away (In role-play) and it's held up. I have had some of the fibers come undone from the threads, and make it have that hairy/fuzzy look, but like a wool beret, that can be shaved off to bring out the original look. 10/10, would buy another to store and use on special occasions.

I bought this poncho to wear on an airplane, and it was great, like a wearable blanket. It’s soft and warm, but not too thick and heavy. I have started now wearing it during chilly nights by the fire pit.

I love the material, the hood is slightly too small, unless you're a small person. Overall I'm very happy with it's construction and quality! Short of wearing cashmere, it's the softest, most comfortable wool I've worn. FYI, I am 6' tall with a 42/44 chest and it fits perfectly (aside from the hood) Note, once you have the hood over your head, you can stretch it out a little by hand to make it less tight. I more prefer a caped type of hood, but this poncho isn't really worn with the hood anyway and it's nice having the hood hang behind your head...it's a very attractive poncho and given the material and workmanship, I believe it's a fair price. I did wear it in the woods and got caught up in a thorn bush...some of the threads pulled out into loops, however, if you're careful about tugging the loops back in, you can easily repair any 'loop' damage within 10 minutes of your time. I found that pressing my finger directly on the loop as if to press the loop through to the opposite side awhile gently tugging the fabric to the side did the trick...no more loops and it looks brand new again!

OK, this is my first poncho but I love it!!! The alpaca wool is thin but tightly woven and soft. It came vacuum packed so lots of wrinkles for a while so I just hung it by itself and a couple months later the small wrinkles were entirely gone. We keep our heat low at night and I start working at my desk well before the heat kicks in so I just throw the poncho on and I'm cozy. The important part to me is that my arms are not restricted and it's quick and easy to take on and off. No snags, no unraveling, came in perfect condition.

I arrived at an alpaca poncho via a circuitous route. Originally I was searching for the perfect beach towel. I found some really good one but as I had one wrapped around me after getting out of the pool recently, I kept having to hold it up. I couldn’t help thinking that it would be much more useful if it had a hole in the middle I could stick my head through. Naturally my next thought was to use a poncho as a beach towel, so I ordered this one. I tried it on when it arrived and couldn’t bring myself to take it off…for two days! I have come to the conclusion that it is far more than a superior beach towel, it is the perfectly designed article of outerwear. I’m not crazy, we have a large group of friends renting a beach house for a week-long getaway next week. I’ve become a poncho apologist. Now everyone on the trip has bought and is taking a poncho. $80ish may seem a little high, but this poncho is worth every bit of it. The first day I got it I wanted to take a nap. The bed was made and I didn’t want to mess it up by getting under the covers. No problem because I had a poncho—I used it as a light blanket. My girlfriend and I were watching a movie one night and it was a little chilly. No problem because I had a poncho—we snuggled up under it on the couch. My girlfriend and I are old so we like to wake up early and sit on the back patio drinking coffee and watching the birds right after the sun comes up. It was cool yesterday morning and my girlfriend was cold. No problem because I had a poncho—I put it on her and she couldn’t stop talking about how nice it felt and how appreciative she was of me for being so thoughtful. As we were leaving the community pool last week I was trying to gather all of our stuff to carry back to the truck. Had I been wearing a towel, I would have had to use one hand to hold it leaving me with only one hand to carry stuff and no hands to open the gate. No problem because I had a poncho—it serves the same purpose as a beach towel but is hands free. I love this poncho!

The main reason I bought this was because I go to Drs. and hospital 1 to 3 times per week and they always have the AC set to freezing. I wanted something that would keep me warm and yet have my arms free for blood drawing, IV's, blood pressure, etc. The first time I wore it the Dr."s office was for once set at a reasonable temp. The second time I had a chance to try it out. For me, it worked. It was warm, but not too hot.

Very thin construction. Not worth the price

Color gris oscuro. Súper ligero! Excelente acabado! Calientito y rápida entrega! Gracias a los Artesanos, a Productos Gamboa y a todo el equipo de Amazon!

Dit is mijn tweede poncho, de eerste kwam direct uit Peru deze dus via Amazon. Deze is dichter geweven, dat zal er door het dragen wel iets uitgaan maar je merkt dat deze net iets gladder is. Ik vermoed dat deze iets industrieler is geweven. In versiering en maat zijn ze identiek. Het draagcomfort kan je pas beoordelen als de poncho wat vaker gedragen is maar de hoofdzaak is deze kriebelt niet en met echte schapenwol of een mix daarvan met synthetisch heb ik dat wel. Met deze pocho's kan je thuis lekker in de bank of wat kantoorwerk doen. Door de bouw en wijze van dragen heb je heel veel ruimte voor je armen, er zit dus niets in de weg.

Superfin och superbra

Nicely made, good colours and, although the material is fairly thin, it's warm. The only negative point is that it's vacuum packed, so is compressed into a plastic bag about the size of a ream of A4 paper, but only half as thick. Once you open it, it expands, but it really needs to be ironed. Mine had really bad creases, use a low heat and a piece of cloth. You can easily make the sides fasten together by sewing some wooden toggles on the inside; mine are about 400mm from the bottom and 90mm from the edge. I used a 100mm piece of deerskin with two holes. This makes it a bit more practical, as the front doesn't swing forward when you bend over something or the wind catches it. The toggles cost a couple of quid for 10 on Amazon. Otherwise, I'm really happy with this.
