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.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

Just used this on a two-night backpacking trip, and it kept all six eggs unscathed. I'm not sure why so many reviewers are having a problem with it being too small--I used large brown eggs (Eggland's Best, from a US supermarket) and was able to close it securely without any cracking.

Some sort of seal to waterproof it would be ideal, but otherwise it's a great way to carry eggs! Will probably buy one of the smaller versions for solo trips.

Doesn't fit American eggs!

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

If you can find small or medium eggs, this might work. I went to 3 grocery stores trying to find the smallest possible eggs, and still could only fit 3 eggs in the six-egg holder. And they were so jammed in that two of them broke. Time to update your mold, Coghlan's.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

I've used this egg carrier on several trips and never had any problems. The handles were a bit too bulky when trying to fit this into my food bag so I just cut them off and viola! I've never had any issues with eggs not fitting or breaking. The container is designed to securely hold them in place so it will be a snug fit but, again, I've never had problems closing the container.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

This has been great to use for family car camping, and canoeing, just put the eggs in the container, toss in cooler, and no worries of broken eggs or soggy egg cartons. Never had a problem getting eggs to fit. The only thing that could make it better would be some way to put a gasket in the lip so it seals out water from getting in and if for some reason a egg broke, that it would leak out. But for me it worked great.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

Its a great idea, but just not ideal for USA eggs. I had to really hunt at the supermarket for the smallest eggs to fit inside the container. I eventually gave up and returned it back to rei. If you do use it, please put it inside a zip-lock baggie, or hard boil the eggs, otherwise its a mess.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

Why didn't they put the shock absorbers on both sides (the little plastic tabs that have some give)?? Baffles me, but it probably would've saved me a couple eggs (put this inside a ziplock bag incase one breaks!).

Great design otherwise, keeps my eggs safe, so I can have a delicious breakfast or two while out on the trail. Probably couldve used a bit thinner plastic and saved considerable weight..

Best Uses

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

Not only is the Egg Holder too small for USA supermarket eggs, it is too small even for the eggs we bought in little towns in Mexico, Central America, the Galapagos, and French Polynesia. We even tried alternating pointy end up, pointy end down, but they just wouldn't fit.

It's 2010. Any hen laying 'small or medium' eggs will find herself battered and fried.

The basic design is good enough but it needs to be bigger to be any use.

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

I've had one for years, and now one of my hinges has broke, so time to buy another. I have also cut off the handle so it fits better in backpacks.
medium size eggs fit perfectly, large eggs can sometimes be a problem, pick the smallest to use, I've only had a couple of eggs break on me using large, never a problem using medium.

I'm thinking of getting the 2 egg version now that I see they are available as many times I only need 2 eggs anyway

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

this container does a good job at protecting the eggs. i have fallen a few times with all 6 eggs in my pack inside the holder and thought for sure they would be broken but was surprised when i opened the container up at camp to find 0 broken eggs

Too Small !!

Comments about Coghlan's 6-Egg Holder:

I had one of these years ago...and vaguely remembered it being small - but thought "what are the chances that 10yrs later they haven't fixed that?"

Well - they haven't!

These containers are TOO SMALL for virtually all commercial eggs that you find in grocery stores (maybe the smallest size fits, but the majority of sizes don't).

Such an easy thing to fix - such a shame they don't fix it.

Make sure you either KNOW your eggs or small - or don't buy this :)
