    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

          Clip broke off on mine, like the others. I did manage to twist the coils around a loop on my kayak to secure it to the boat, but would be better with a clip...

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          TOO FRAGILE

          About Me Advanced

          See all my reviews

          Pros

          • Waterproof

          Cons

          • Unreliable

          Best Uses

            Comments about Seattle Sports Paddle Leash:

            After a season's good luck with one of these I bought a second for my other kayak and its paddle, only to have them BOTH break identically at the clip-buckle. Problem is that the small plastic buckle used is too weak, breaking at the same molded leg. A larger buckle might be more cumbersome. Solution would be a tougher buckle, perhaps aluminum or stronger plastic.
            Broken items returned to SS for replacement, but they refused to replace EITHER one because of a naive claim that "these don't fail".

            Northwater's coiled leash is unfortunately too heavy, but their NON-coiled one is both lightweight AND much sturdier than Seattle Sport's.

            I've always suspect of SS's products as they're hit-or-miss with durability: some are fine, some really cheaply made, like this coiled tether.

              Comments about Seattle Sports Paddle Leash:

              This product does work as a paddle leash, however the plastic coating on the cable has a short life span. Without the coating intact the cable unravels.

                  Comments about Seattle Sports Paddle Leash:

                  This thing fell apart after a couple of tugs. I bought two of them and you could tell that the material on one was newer than the other...the older looking one is the one that had the cord fall apart. It may be sun exposure or something. I may replace the cord like the other person as the buckling system is pretty good.

                  The first time I streched the leash out the coating that created the coil disintegrated leaving me with a string of individual strands that got tangled in everything. I liked the buckles so I took it all apart and put the buckles on a stretch cord. Now I'm happy!
