The ponchos are made with 330gsm 100% Microfiber, which is a highly absorbent material that can absorb up to seven times its weight in liquid. We have gone with the traditional square cut design, which improves the ability to change the baggy nature of a poncho give the illusion of a short sleeve when arms are through the armholes. We have also included a contrast hood and hand pocket on the front of the poncho.
