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.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox 21 Roof Box:
I debated between the 21 and the smaller versions for some time. I think the 21 is great for larger families. Example - recent ski trip, fit 4 pairs down hill skis, 4 pair skate skis, 4 pair nordic skis, all the poles and boots and helmets with plenty of room. Looking from the outside the amount of space is deceiving - there is a lot of room.
The latch device to the crossbars is a no-brainer. Very easy to use and super secure. The box weighs about 45 lbs so it may take two people to throw it up on top but then one person can make all the adjustments.
Gas Mileage- we saw a 2-3 mpg decrease with a Toyota 4 runner 6 cyl on a 300 mile venture. I was a little disappointed here but only b/c I am a fairly neurotic about MPG.
Road/wind noise - almost non existent
"Drive-ability" - no change in steering or perceived aerodynamics of the car.
Lock mechanism -- no issues and seems secure.
Top stability - very nice and able to close with one hand.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox 21 Roof Box:
Used this on a 2004 Highlander SUV. Great Roof Box. Internal Reinforcing Ribs on the top part of roof box separates this from the comparable size/price Thule roof box, and was the final decision for us purchasing this roof box.
Our intention was to use it perhaps 5 times a year, and for the rest of the time we store this on the ceiling of our garage with a kayak ceiling pulley set capable of 100 lbs. Getting this on the car requires two people, but the fully adjustable sliding clamps make this an ease to attach to any car in under 5 minutes.
The roof box construction is fantastic, having REI and Yakima back the warranty is invaluable, and the sturdy construction of the box means I won't hesitate to put everything I can into the roof box so that the cabin area of my car is left for what it's meant: people, friends, and pets.
Service and delivery comments:
I picked this up at my local REI store, and they let me inspect it, and also took care of the cardboard box that it comes in.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Yakima SkyBox 21 Roof Box:
I love this thing. It is easy to mount on your vehicle, easy to load and easy to lock. It mounts easily to my factory rails that are about 3 inches wide. It is sturdy and seems to be quite durable. I just took it on a 900 mile trip. It was stable up to 95mph on my MDX. It would probly be stable at higher speeds, I just didn't go any faster. I really couldn't even tell it was up there. Part of the trip I went through a lot of rain but not a lot of cross wind. No leaks, no problems, I am glad I purchased the big one. This thing holds so much stuff and it is only 7 1/2 feet tall on my car. This thing looks good and it looks like it was made for my car. I love this thing and I wonder why I didn't own one sooner. If you travel and have kids I highly recommend it.
