REI Members get back an estimated $ 2.80 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 Sugoi Zap Helmet Cover:

I bought this a couple of months ago just to add a waterproofing layer to my cycle helmet for use in the rain and snow, and to keep the wind off. I'd not used a cover before, but so far this seems to be an excellent one. I chose it for the stretch material which is shaped to fit a generic helmet, but this means that it should fit any particular model with ease, and indeed it fits mine perfectly. I also like the fact that it can accommodate a peak (with a bit of pulling, but it is actually shaped for this). I've yet to see how durable it is, but the manufacturing quality seems very good and the reflective panels work well. Highly recommended.

Comments about Sugoi Zap Helmet Cover:

It's a great product for what it's designed for- but I have one word of caution. The top of the helmet is lined with a low friction material that allows it to slide along the pavement. There are two types of crashes, crashes where you slide and ones where you stick. Crashes where you stick are the most dangerous because it sends back all of the force into the body. The head is the one thing you don't want sticking to the ground. Covering the helmet can take away from this characteristic and may increase the chance of a stick landing.

Fits great; works great; very good visibility. Only suggestion would be a place to stick a flashing light on in the back.

Comments about Sugoi Zap Helmet Cover:

I would include this on my list of commuting musts if you ride to work and care what you look like when you get there. I ride my bike almost everywhere in NYC, this protects your hair and your head from rain, wind, cold or snow. The reflective design adds visibility at nighttime. And I've even received compliments on it from other cyclists.
