REI Members get back an estimated $ 3.80 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 Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Gaiters:

These are great for a day out ice climbing or a winter hike. The softshell fabric is not good in the rain. If you're doing some serious all day snow slogging and post holing, you might want something a little more heavy duty but for an average person on an average day out, these should fit the bill just fine.
The new bottom strap is a nice upgrade and is plenty burly.

Too small for bulky boots/clothing

Comments about Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Gaiters:

These (size L/XL) would be fine for x-c skiing but they are cut too skimpy for use with larger boots/bulky clothing often used when snowshoeing. This is my 2nd pair of OR short gaiters. The previous (non-stretch) nylon type worked well for both applications. Note: I am a 5'10', medium wt. male so these may work o.k. for someone smaller. overall quality is good.
