poncho
Hole-topped wrap
A poncho is a simple outer garment—a single piece of fabric with a hole in the center for the head, worn draped over the shoulders.
Traditional ponchos from South America are woven wool or alpaca; modern versions are often waterproof plastic or nylon, used as emergency rain gear: I keep a poncho in my backpack for hiking.
