    REI Members get back an estimated $ 10.00 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 Stohlquist Cruiser PFD - Women's:

              I love this vest. It is light, easy to wear, the high back doesn't interfere with the kayak seat, and cute to boot. I tried on many vests in the store and this vest outshone the others by far. The zipper is difficult to start at times due to bulk, but have acquired a trick to get it going easily.

                Perfect for Stand UP Paddleboarding! The vest is so comfortable, you forget you are wearing it. Great pockets to hold car keys etc.

                  Comments about Stohlquist Cruiser PFD - Women's:

                  I "graduated" from a cheap fisherman's PFD to this lovely thing as I became more serious about kayaking and needed a PFD that didn't feel like a corset or get in the way.
                  First of all, let's just say I sincerely appreciate the scooped out chest panels on this, and the high mesh back fits perfectly without causing any problems with my kayak's seat back. The sides of this PFD are open, which means that nothing rubs or interferes with range of motion. I am able to comfortably wear this for 8 or more hours a day on the river- and can even forget I have it on- and it's adjustable in so many areas that it's easy to get a good stable fit without any ride-up.

                  • Feels true to size
