Frequently asked questions
Is a wool poncho comfortable for kids?
Yes, a poncho is a practical garment for children, especially because it is easy to put on and take off. It simply slips over the head, with no buttons or zips to fasten, and its loose shape allows plenty of freedom of movement.
An alpaca wool poncho can be worn over a jumper in autumn and even over a jacket in winter, adding an extra layer of warmth and protection.
How do I choose the right size wool poncho for my child?
When choosing a poncho size, it is best to consider the child's height and the length of the garment rather than relying on age alone. Ponchos have a loose fit, so it is particularly important to think about how far down the body you would like the poncho to fall.
One advantage, especially for girls, is that a poncho can grow with them: as it becomes shorter, it can be worn as a little cape over a jumper or jacket. The way it is worn changes, but it can still be a comfortable and lovely piece in the following years, depending, of course, on how much the girl grows.
Are a hat and scarf good accessories to wear with a wool poncho for kids?
Certainly. Our alpaca wool ponchos for kids do not have high necks, so on cold days a wool scarf for kids helps keep the neck warmer. A woolly hat for kids is also a great addition, especially when children spend time outdoors.
If the poncho has a hood, on particularly cold days a hat can also be worn underneath it to help protect the head and ears.
This combination helps keep children better protected from the cold and changes in temperature during winter.
