    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 Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters:

        I like stopping to take photos and soak in the sights not to pick rocks and other stuff out of my boots - gaiters keep me going. In stream crossings I get a a little more time before my boots take on water and when crashing through the brush I get a little extra protection on the shins. No matter what the conditions, hot, dry, cold, wet, snow covered I always wear gaiters and these OR Crocs can take a huge amount of abuse and still lock tight, fit comfortable, and keep the junk out. I'm on my second set - the first set is still OK I just wanted to freshen-up the look.

            Comments about Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters:

            With little technical tweaking over the years, the OR Crocodile Gaiters are the standard that other companies hold themselves to. These are first mentioned when one says the word 'gaiters' and with good reason. I have had the same pair for almost 15 years; and even after ample abuse, they are still as effective as when I purchased them in the late 1990s. They are versatile for multiple seasons, applications, and boot adaptability. Get a pair and see for yourself why these are the real McCoy-other full gaiters are just an attempt at the OR Crocodile design.

                I love these gaiters. Wore 'em for a month through the Desert (with a capital D), couldn't tell you what it feels like to have sand in your shoes. They are bomber. I leave all kinds of traces when I am marching through the brush with invincible armored Crocodile legs. Seriously, these are great. I must be getting old if I'm this excited about... gaiters.
