    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.

      Comments about SmartWool Hiking Ultra Light Crew Socks - Men's:

      I'm a big fan of Smart Wool socks, so didn't hesitate ordering off the web based on the description of "ultra light". I was planning to use them for every day use, but will be a bit thick other than winter time. This is the first time I've been disappointed with Smart Wool socks. Not the sock itself, but the deceptive name.

        These are amazing! They are amazingly comfortable and durable! I have used them for over 2 weeks at a time, and they stay comfortable! If they get wet you can ring them out and they dry quickly! Definitely the best socks I have ever owned and they make trips way more comfortable.

          Comments about SmartWool Hiking Ultra Light Crew Socks - Men's:

          My job requires me to be on my feet for most of the day, so I was looking for a comfortable pair of socks to wear with my work boots. My foot is a mens size 9 and medium was a perfect fit. The bottom of the sock is very soft yet durable and supportive of my feet.

          I've been wearing them for about a month and my feet feel great after a long day's work. My feet have been nice and warm this winter without feeling sweaty and nasty. I personally have not had any issues with the socks bunching up like other reviewers have mentioned.

          I'd definitely recommend these for work, everyday life, and recreational use.

              I've owned tons of smartwool socks, and I like most of them. These ones are the best, simple as that. Not too thick for everyday wear, not too thin that you worry about wearing them out. they are the exact right balance of luxury and performance. The BMW of socks.

                I bought 5 of these and 3 Pategonia ultra light hiking socks a little more than a year ago. The Pategonias shrunk one size after a couple washings and I couldn't wear them anymore. These SmartWool socks seem as good as new. I only wish they came in more colors.

                  Regardless of temperature, these socks regulate temperature amazingly well. I tried one, then bought 3 more a week later. For me, this is THE best all around sock.

                    I am a residential remodeling contractor. Theses socks are great in the winter, summer and last a long time. The only con I have found is that they ball up a little. Other then that I love theses sock. Also I do a good deal of hiking and i have never been close to getting a blister with these socks. Most comfortable I have found.

                      These are some comfy socks. They keep my feet dry, thermoregulated and cozy. They dont bunch up or cramp my space. I love that smartwool offers a lifetime warranty. If it's not inconvienient, you can just replace the sock when it wears out.
