It's a little smaller around on all sides but still close to the same thickness. In total, it's about two ounces less - we'll be going down from between 5 to 5.5 ounces to 3.5 ounces (there will be a price reduction as the new bars filter in). Check out that wavy texture, tho! How fun is that?!

The white of the clouds that gather at the peak, near the snow. The bright blue of the sky. They play together in an unmatched colorway; whether you want to make a pair of hiking socks or a hat and glove combo to keep you warm in the cold, whether you want to make an outfit for your outdoor-loving child or a shawl to throw over the shoulders of a loved one.... Denali will make you happy.
