REI Members get back an estimated $ 15.00 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 Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses:

I wear these while cycling long distances. They're quality sunglasses, but I wouldn't cry if I dropped and scratched them like I would a more expensive pair. They do a great job keeping the wind from my eyes, and I can see great in these. I have a high contrast lens for night riding and darker ones for those sunny, Southern days. I have worn similar Oakleys on kayaking and similar trips in Hawaii, and I plan to bring these with me when I return there this year. Being a tall, medium-build female, I do find these just a tiny bit too big (which is why I didn't opt for the Radar instead), but the flexibility of the lens changing and the look of these is great. One thing to note: These fog up more than I prefer (when stopped), but I think switching lenses to the non-XLJ will help that.

Comments about Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses:

What can I say? They're an Oakley! These are fantastic for outdoor pursuits...and have the best lenses of anything I know of out there. They are rugged, yet elegant. If you want the best for your eyes, pick up a pair of these and see the difference...and understand why Oakley's are truly the best. :)
