With shoulder surgery coming up I wanted a warm cape/poncho that I would continue to wear later on. I checked out seven and this is my #1. The styling is ideal but the fabric is disappointing, being a thin fleece that is not especially warm (except for the collar) and doesn't hold its shape well. If it were thicker or lined this cape would be a home run. But on to the styling, which will work perfectly with a sling. With a cape, having your arms show mitigates some of the width, and that goes twice for an arm in a sling. The arm openings of this cape show just enough of both, and the coverage provides some warmth. The openings are sewn in place making them easier to deal with than those that must be buttoned or snapped, then don't stay buttoned or snapped. (There is a fair amount of strain at the top and bottom of the openings; I'll reinforce them with additional stitching.) The front buttons are a cinch to operate with one hand. The pockets are in the right place and big enough for my cellphone. The shorter length covers my butt while avoiding the voluminous look of longer capes. One small complaint is that the front hangs down a bit longer than the back unless I give the back a good tug.
