It really is very warm, very light and very large. Overall excellent quality. Just beware of the size you order. I purchased the L-XL for my son who is 5' 8" and average build He can wrap it around himself twice. A medium probably would have been better, but I wasn't willing to go through the hassle of an exchange to find out the only difference might be in the length. I imagine it is the perfect fit for someone who is extra large around the middle.
