Poncho

Informal given name

A poncho is a simple outer garment—a single piece of fabric with a hole for the head, worn draped over the shoulders.

Traditional ponchos from Latin America are often woven wool; modern versions include waterproof rain ponchos.

The design leaves arms free while providing coverage: She threw on a poncho when the drizzle started.
