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.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
I drink a lot of water during the day, usually 2-3 liters a day and this bottle was a perfect size for that. I bought two of these so it works great. Use it for work, hiking, and really long trips.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
I bought one of these after returning two of the polyethylene bottles because they smelled so bad, and the smell apparently transferred to the contents when I tried to use them.
After using the new bottle for a couple of weeks, I went back to REI and bought another one.
The bottles rotate through the freezer, and seem to be very durable and serviceable. I go through the entire 48-oz in one session at the gym, and it's easier to stay fully hydrated with these than smaller bottles I've used previously.
I like the clarity of the material and the widemouth design, both of which make it much easier to swab the inside with a bottle brush and ensure no buildup of crud or fungus.
The only question mark I had was the flimsiness of the tether, but I figured that was ok because REI carries replacement caps/tethers in stock. However, to my surprise, the tethers have held up ok, too.
I'm not a hiker or outdoors guy, so I can't comment on the weight of the bottle vis-a-vis other materials, but for my type of casual use I would highly recommend this one. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach, California.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
This is my 4th Nalgene bottle, the others are still in service and all 32oz including 2 pre PBA Nalgenes. This is an awesome IDEA, but poorly executed one 20ft fall caused a catastrophic failure resulting in my bottle shattering.
Maybe its just these 48oz bottles that are bad now-a-days but I've had my old bottle dropped from 180ft faces in Joshua Tree without a problem, now 1/10th of the drop causes failure in these new bottles.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
This water bottle holds a ton of water and makes it really easy to hydrate throughout the day, especially in class and during practices. I wouldn't use it for running due to the huge size, but the durability is pretty terrible. I had it for about 3 months and dropped it maybe a couple times off of my bed when I was sleeping and nothing really happened, other than a few scratches. But recently, when I was at the airport, I filled my bottle up maybe a third of the way up and dropped it on the way to the terminal; the entire bottom shattered and I had to trash it. Such a bummer because it is such a great size. I think I'm going to try the polyethylene version. It doesn't look as cool as these ones but hopefully its more durable.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
It's a Nalgene and it is big.
I carry this thing around with me all day, every day. I love it. Only issue is the common wide-mouth spill-on-your-lap-if-you-aren't-paying-attention inconvenience, but whatever...

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
i bought a clear bottle. Love the high capacity and simple design. I also have the 32oz, but I use this more often as it carry enough water for me to drink while at work. I use it every single day. I pair it with the Guyot Designs Splashguard for ease of use.

I used to spend tons of money buying cases of water bottle. After purchasing this bottle and a brita, I have not bought another case and it's been 3 months!
I haven't had any bad experience with breakage. I dropped my bottle a few times when full or half full and nothing happened.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:
I love the capacity of this water bottle, it makes it easy to get my fluid in for the day. Unfortunately I have broken 2 bottles. In both cases the bottle was more than half full and it was dropped on cement with the bottom impacting first. It shattered as though it was glass. I am going to buy two more, just because I love the capacity.
