A poncho is a type of outer garment that is essentially a large piece of fabric with a hole in the centre for the head to pass through. It's often worn as a protective layer against the rain or as a warming garment. Ponchos can be made from different materials such as wool, fleece or waterproof fabrics, and come in different styles and designs. Traditional ponchos are associated with certain cultures, particularly in Latin America, where they have been worn for centuries.
