    REI Members get back an estimated $ 9.00 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 Astral Buoyancy Ronny PFD - Men's:

    after suiting up for a fun ride on the Swananoa last weekend no adjustment required. Even after a roll over with complete dunking and loss of boat. Worked perfect and not to hot (temp) or restrictive. Recaptured boat and continued the ride. Easy paddling, no restriction from pdf.

    Comments about Astral Buoyancy Ronny PFD - Men's:

    I wanted a sleek minimalist PFD for day trips in moderate to warm weather where I would have access to my gear in a dry bag, and thus not need multiple pockets. I really liked this PFD. It is well made and comfortable; easy to adjust. The pocket in front is a good option if you are likely to get wet. The back is open down the middle which would give good ventilation. So I tried out this PFD and the Kokatat Bahia sitting in a kayak at the store and ultimately bought the Kokatat. The main difference was that this has a foam pad the whole length of the back, and I was concerned it would hit the back of my kayak seat and not be comfortable. But it really depends on your boat, and for the money this would be a great choice.
