Here is what Christopher posted on Instagram on 18 July 2020:

Just before heading up the ridge-line to see [comet] Neowise, we went out to look at the ocean for one last island sunset. Sitting there with the ocean breeze and the cool evening air settling in I was so glad to have grabbed my amazing anorak from @weatherwool on my way out of the cabin. Despite being smack dab in the middle of Southern California summer, the island can shift from unbearable heat to numbing cold in minutes. From hands on bird research in the heavy fog, to brushing my teeth in the frigid mornings, or even sitting at the top of a 30ft [9 meters] pine tree swaying in the heavy winds while scouting Scrub-jay territories, this #weatherwool jacket kept me warm. The versatility of this thing is just so much better than my past seasons’ method of hauling around 4 or 5 different outer layers trying to find the right combination. The best solution for life on Limuw, and now I’m eager to test it out as I head back to Upstate New York for the fall and winter.
