REI Members get back an estimated 10% 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 MSR Lite Lifter:

I for years have had the other style MSR pot lifter, and I still use it for summer hikes. But, when it is -20F and your turning snow into liquid gold the not rubberized pot holder can feel so cold to the ungloved hand that it feels white hot. In those temps you just cant afford to waist fuel because you had to drop the pan! And it's hard to pour water with huge mittens on, so having the rubberized handles on this pot holder makes all the difference!

Necessity For Ti Cooksets

Comments about MSR Lite Lifter:

The Lite Lifter is a necessity with MSR's Ti cooksets. I used the Pocket Rocket to boil water in a 1.5 Litre pot, and the thing's handles were HOT. This is a nice tool to have--much more stability in handling the pot for pouring boiling water than using a cloth or your shirt to hold the pot's built-in handles.

Comments about MSR Lite Lifter:

I tried this handy lifter on a three week backpacking trip on the AT. I love it! I've been experimenting with different (lighter) cook systems and ran into a brick wall with burned fingers. At first I was doubtful that this little thing could handle a pot of boiling water, but it's truly rock solid! It's great with alcohol stoves because the invisible flame can easily burn a wrist or synthetic shirt sleeve if you get your hand too close to the stove (and I can't extinguish my stove until I remove the pot). This lifter gives you a little wiggle room. It's easy to use and easily fits inside the smallest cook pot with room for other things like a stove and lighter. It weighs exactly one ounce on my home scale. I expect it to last a very long time.

Essential for the MSR DuraLite Fry Pan

Comments about MSR Lite Lifter:

The MSR Lite Lifter is invaluable if you have or will buy the MSR DuraLite fry pan. I was dubious at first whether or not it would work, but it really grips the pan very well (and it's lighter than an oven mitt). The reason for the 4 stars and not 5: I could tell that over time the metal would scratch the DuraLite non-stick coating. But, wrapping a couple of small Gorilla Tape strips around the edges works very well--grips and doesn't scratch. Why carry a mitt or pot holder that weighs more? This little thing does the trick and weighs just one ounce!
