    REI Members get back an estimated $ 3.30 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 PMI Lightweight Rappel Gloves:

      This product works excellent! I used it for a ropes rescue course this week and these gloves never let me down. We were rappelling, tying knots, clipping carabiners, the works and I never had to take my gloves off for any of it! The extra padding in the palm does exactly what it is supposed to do. I was able to lower not only myself, but also a "victim" that was clipped onto me. Never once did I have to worry about my hands getting hot. I will definitely buy these again once these wear out, but that is going to be a long time. After rappelling all day long the leather hasn't worn a bit!

      The only bad thing is that the hole to put your hand in can be a little tight. I normally wear a small size glove, but with these I couldn't get my hand into a small very easily so I exchanged them for a medium. Perfect fit. I would recommend trying them in a store before buying.

      Service and delivery comments:

      Delivery was extremely fast! I had to exchange my first pair because they were too small. I needed them pretty quickly so I ordered another pair because I didn't want to wait on sending the old ones in and then the processing and finally receiving mine. Customer service is very helpful and I was reimbursed for my first pair as soon as they received them. I look forward to dealing with REI again in the near future!

      Comments about PMI Lightweight Rappel Gloves:

      A great all around rappelling glove. The palms are double reinforced leather and it's nice that they come with a sewn loop so that you can clip them to your harness when not in use. I've done 100' free hanging rappels with these and my hands did not get hot from rope friction.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
