Although it isin't quite the weather for it I am considering purchasing a wool poncho from sites such as these:
http://www.zocalo-trading.com/poncho/wool_ponchos.htm
http://www.alpacamall.com/en/ponchos-c-5643.html
They are 100% wool and appear to be of great quality. The issue is neither website has any reviews or testimonials which is quite worrying. I was wondering if you folks know anything about these two websties and their products or just wearing a poncho in general.
I will be frank however... I watched Fist full of dollars recently and went on a western movie spree. A genre I have otherwise completely ignored. Beyond looking pretty cool is there any reason to purchase a poncho?
I'm considering combining the poncho with a rainproof one for ultimate warmth in winter downpours. Furthermore I love my Italian wool blanket but it is too dam heavy and bulky so I rarely take it. Perhaps a poncho will be a better option? Also what weather are these appropriate for? Both websites stress traditional makes will this be suitable at any time of the year in the UK? Too hot in summer too cold in winter?
Thanks for reading.
