    I discovered gabis 20 years ago while working with UNMEE, the UN peacekeeping mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea. A friend bought one to use as a blanket. I did too and found mine light and warm. I came back with 3 gabis, which I’ve used ever since.

    + PROS: My gabis have lasted a long time and are in constant use. they're machine washable, can be put in the dryer, and are light in summer, warm in winter.
    - CONS: Over time the embroidery at the edges frays and one gabi got so thin it had to be replaced. But that took 20 years.
