I got this in the blue short version. The fabric is thick and soft, I would say this could be used more in the early spring or fall time because of this. There is only one clasp on this cape, and it's by the neck. This can be seen as a good and bad thing to me. Good: I have room to move my arms without restriction. Bad: I can't seem to make it appear as closed when I walk. Take that as you will, but I recommend this piece!
