    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.

    • NOW PLAYING

    UIAA certified as both a half and twin rope, the lightweight PMI Verglas lets you choose the technique that best suits the climb.

    • Half and twin ropes are designed to be used as a matching pair; handling, elongation and strength differ from brand to brand and size to size
    • Small 8.1mm diameter saves weight, but, remember to be safe and pair it up
    • Kernmantle design features a stretchy core protected by a durable outer sheath which combine for strength and good handling
    • UltraDry™ treatment penetrates sheath and core to retard water absorption and improve abrasion resistance
    • Meets UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation

    Made in USA.

          Comments about PMI Verglas 8.1mm x 60m Dry Half/Twin Rope:

          I've purchased these ropes to trad climb and i love it. It's my first experience with twin/half ropes. For trad or multipitch routes, i would never go back to a single rope. Handles as well as a single rope, permits full 60m rappel and i'l never have a drag issue again because i can alternate clips. No more worry about finding the middle when you have two ropes of distinctive different colors.

            Comments about PMI Verglas 8.1mm x 60m Dry Half/Twin Rope:

            These specific half/twin ropes are extremely versatile due to their certification to both UIAA ratings. These have been my go-to ropes for alpine rock and ice for the last three years and they're holding up well. Will buy these again when they wear out.

              Comments about PMI Verglas 8.1mm x 60m Dry Half/Twin Rope:

              Certainly NOT scary and frail as the name implies, these are possibly the best half lines on the market. I am in the process of switching to the Verglas from a more popular half line for use on ice and trad. The Verglas handles remarkably well and is quite durable. The dry coating works great. This rope exhibits just the quality that I would expect from PMI. It is also rated as a twin AND half line. Overall, this is a fine rope and I am surprised I don't see these everywhere.
