It'a bit lighter than in the photo.  It also looks very thin in the photo.  It is huge and billowy.  It is soft, which is nice, but I feel like I'm drowning in it when I put it on.  It seems like something I might lounge around in at home, but too bulky to walk around a work wearing.  It almost feels too heavy for my neck.  It erases my neck.  If it were half the thickness but the same length, I would have given it 5*.
