The sun dips below the horizon on the northern tip of Vancouver Island as the waves crash onto the beach in front of me. The sea mist slowly rolls in with the tide and a light drizzle dampens and cools the air. My eyes are drawn to the water as a faint blue light begins to glow in the surf. The bioluminescence comes to life with each rolling wave. I don’t want to miss the moment. In this weather, a down coat will get too wet and a raincoat isn't enough to keep me warm enough, so I reach into my bag and grab my Melton Wool shirt.
As someone who often spends more time on the road—and outdoors—than at home, there is a lot of intention behind each item that I pack. With limited space, every piece has to serve a purpose and suit my spontaneous lifestyle. ANIÁN’s Melton Wool shirt is one of those few items.
