    Item # 724044

    REI Members get back an estimated $ 5.00 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 Katadyn Hiker PRO Element:

        Use this with Hiker2 Pro. I was in NM CDT and very dry. Needed H2O and a cattle tank was available but very dirty/algae/cattle poop. Used the filter plus a hanky. I look/smell the result and it seem fine...use the H2O for bottle and Camelback. It did get very hard to pump but expected that. Did also put iodine pill in the H2O...just in case.

          A warning from manufacture states, not designed to clean dirty water! Filling one waterbottle full was all she wrote on the Escalante River. Manufacture suggests to use a hankerchief around inlet filter, to further filter the talcum-powder silt. Even letting the water "sit" for a couple of hours before filtering is better, but not great. Great filter though, just be careful and wise with silty water.

          Comments about Katadyn Hiker PRO Element:

          I purchased this filter element to replace my old one. While I haven't used the new one yet, the old one worked great and I expect nothing less from this one. My beef is with REI listing this as "Made in the USA" when the package clearly states "Swiss Made". Great item, falsely advertised.
