    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.

    • NOW PLAYING

    Extrasport® Osprey PFD lets paddlers wear their "tackle box"--essentials are accessible yet there is ample range-of-motion for comfort.

    • Durable 240-denier ripstop nylon outer shell provides superior abrasion resistance and durability
    • Soft, breathable and quick-drying 200-denier nylon oxford inside; mesh shoulders with elastic edges move easily with paddler and offer cooling airflow
    • GlideFit™ construction means soft foam panels have a slick membrane between them so your PFD moves with you
    • Baja Back™ features thinner foam in the lower back section to better fit seat backs and rests sold with most modern sit-on-top and rec boats
    • Thick upper back flotation section keeps the foam off your body, allowing easier movement and improving flotation angle
    • Equipped with an arsenal of pockets for holding angling and paddling essentials; five bellows pockets with flap closures and two zip bellows pockets
    • All pockets have self-drainage grommets; three accessory attachment points and rod tip holder for convenience
    • Front-zip vest has two adjustable chest straps with side-release buckle closures
    • Shoulder height adjusts via webbing strap with ladderlock buckles; four-way lash tab on front for extras like knife or strobe
    • Reflective logos on front and back enhance visibility in low light conditions
    • Includes plastic safety whistle and tether cord

    • XS/SM fits 33 to 39 inch chest size

          Comments about Extrasport Osprey PFD:

          I use this PFD for kayak touring, but I have not used it for fishing. The pockets are very convenient. The straps cinch it down well, and it is out of the way of the spray skirt and is very comfortable during the paddle stroke. I've swam in it, and it did not ride up. I think this PFD is great.

            I found this to be a very comfortable PFD, but the six small pockets are too narrow and deep to be of much use to me.

                Best Uses

                  Comments about Extrasport Osprey PFD:

                  I use this PFD as required when fishing from my Watermaster raft, and feel comfortable doing so. The pockets are sufficient for essential fly fishing bits, and I'd say they could be larger to accommodate a normal fly-box, but I think if there were a fly box in the pockets, it would foul the oars on the Watermaster.
                  Some of the rivers we wade, such as the Deschutes, can be treacherous with slime-covered boulders, swift currents and my own clumsiness. Many of us have gone for impromptu swims, and some have died. I sometimes use this PFD instead of my normal fishing vest (and don't you dare laugh; I'm an old Navy diver and excellent swimmer, but unwarranted risk is silly).
                  The only improvement I'd suggest, is to study the best fishing vests and improve the pockets.
