CLIF Thins

For those times on the trail (or anywhere) when a full-on protein/energy bar is too much, a CLIF THIN still stops hunger in its tracks. Packed with essential calories and nutrients, this is the perfect addition to your run-pack or glove box. A Thin is crispy and light, in contrast to the more substantial CLIF bar you know. www.clifbar.ca

Fine in texture, yellow cedar has a straight and narrow grain that creates a predictable flex pattern and a harder density than most softwoods. This makes Foon ski cores exceptionally damp, and stable. Yellow cedar is well recognized for it quality, exclusivity and element of prestige. This symbolizes the heritage of the Coast Mountains perfectly captured in Foon skis.

You can store open warmers and reuse them up to 72 hours later. And each outer pouch is re-usable and 100% recyclable. The end result is a higher performance hand-warmer, which is more efficient and less wasteful.
