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.

An alternative to spandex, the wool Ibex El Fito 3/4 bike tights are ready to tackle a late-fall training ride or a springtime century. Think of them as knee warmers without the drooping or bulkiness.

Bikewear-exclusive fabric is made from New Zealand merino wool, a small amount of nylon for extra strength, and Lycra® spandex for a snug fit that moves with you
Wool provides excellent temperature regulation, especially for stop-and-go sports such as cycling; fabric blend is midweight, soft, durable, breathable and machine washable
Reinforced with flexible polyester/spandex fabric in the seat and inner thighs for durability and support; the fleecy brushed backing is extra soft next to skin
Bumps and vibrations are no problem for the multi-density foam chamois pad; ergonomic pad absorbs sweat and dries quickly for comfort in the saddle
Soft-shell front knee panels buffer against cold and wet weather and enhance warmth
Gripper elastic legs hems and smooth elastic waistband secure the fit; flat-stitched seams reduce chafing
Ibex El Fito 3/4 tights have a reflective logo to boost your nighttime visibility

Made in USA.

Comments about Ibex El Fito 3/4 Bike Tights - Men's:

I use these tights as my Minnesota cool/cold weather commuting tights and love them. Flexible in the right places, warm but light in the others. I also like the 3/4 length for the flexibility they offer.

I have a 6 mile (one-way) commute, takes about 30 minutes in cold winter. I would say I was fine in these down to about 5 or 10 degrees, though would recommend a windbreak boxer (and obvs high socks) in those conditions.

They seem very well made and the natural fiber doesn't hold odors which is also a plus.

I can't even really think of a downside. Huh.

Comments about Ibex El Fito 3/4 Bike Tights - Men's:

These are great for cold weather rides. I commute 20 miles almost daily and I couldn't image riding without these during the fall and winter months.

I really like the 3/4 length because they don't bunch. Also, the 3/4 length is flexible because I can wear a bootie+long sock and get full coverage on cold days or just wear a short sock on more mild days.

These are made out of wool which is warm, breathable, and quick drying. They are comfortable and super durable. I have been using the same pair for over 3 years and they are still holding up great.

Bottom line these are the best cold weather cycling pants I've ever owned.
