As much as we’d like to hibernate all winter long under a cozy throw blanket by the fireplace, life goes on. This portmanteau in both name and design lets you stay warm and comfy while moving about, with the easy style of a poncho complemented by the functionality of sleeves. And the generous cowl adds an extra measure of snuggliness.
