    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 Bison Designs Fold-A-Bowl:

        I think this bowl is great. I have nothing bad to say about it and here is why:

        It dries quickly, it is not bulky like others. It neatly folds up itself like a little pouch you zipper up and close for storage or for hanging on the leash. It even comes with a carabiner style clip.

        Perfect.

        Comments about Bison Designs Fold-A-Bowl:

        I want to like it. It has a great design, I love it that it folds into itself then zips up tight and has a clip to keep it handy. But there are two serious flaws.

        1 - It won't hold water. Like a reviewer above mentioned, it holds it briefly, then it all slowly leaks through and soaks the entire bowl and whatever it's sitting on.

        2 - the clip is really flimsy and I don't trust it. The first time I found this out, I was doing a weekend hike on the Appalachian Trail. On the way back to the car at the end of the trip, I arrived at the parking area and reached to get the bowl to get my thirsty dog some water. But it had fallen off at some point. Thankfully the hikers behind us knew we had a dog, picked it up, and arrived at the parking lot about 15 minutes after us.

        I have since seen it fall off the leash, a belt loop, or whatever it is clipped onto on walks to the park. I now rarely use it and I'm searching for a better replacement.

        Comments about Bison Designs Fold-A-Bowl:

        I've gone through three different versions of these bowls and am giving up on them. They will not hold water for any longer than a few minutes, before it all leaks out the bottom and the sides and leaves everything soaked through. And wastes water.

        They are OK for an immediate thirst quencher, as most of the water will end up in the dog's mouth. But same deal w/training a dog to drink out of a camelbak, and its just easier that way.

        I'm looking for something not coated in vinyl but still waterproof.

        If you
        a) don't own a camelbak
        b) need something to hold water for more than a few minutes

        then look elsewhere.

          I keep two of these with me on missions. One for water and one to feed out of. They are small enough to hang on my vest for easy, quick drinks and they are light for packing. I have had mine for years and they seem to last forever.

          This is an awesome water bowl. It hold almost half a nalgene and is easy to use. Steady, dries quick and folds nicely. It has a clip to hang from a dog pack or waist band while drying too! One of my favorite pieces of dog gear for hiking.
