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 REI Taku Pants - Women's Regular:

I really wanted to like these pants. I would be able to give a more thorough review if I had been able to get past how LOUD they are. No, seriously, I had to remove them asap because it was so annoying. Just wanted to give a heads up on that note. Also, they were bulgy around the crouch and high-rise. But, the length is perfect for wearing with boots. Really, i just could not handle how loud they were. It's like scratchin a record with every step.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Regular:

Love these pants. They work GREAT for snow/backcountry sports. I wore these for a couple climbing trips (to Mt. Baker & Rainier), and they kept me warm in the wind and snow. These are definitely wind & waterproof pants. I did hike in them, but usually only in the cold (i.e. < 35F). The side zippers/vents provide some ventilation, but I wished that the vents were bigger. I like it that these are not insulated; I can choose to put on more or less layers as needed. Overall great pants. Now my sister-in-law wants a pair, too, after a hiking trip with her.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Regular:

The noise of these pants didn't bother me, but I agree with everything else the previous reviewer wrote about the poor fit to these pants. I understand that most shell pants are made a bit bigger to allow for baselayers, but I think I could fit a pair of insulated snow pants under these!- I even ordered a size smaller than my usual-I'm 5'7" 128 lbs usual size Small-and the XSmall was HUGE!!! The gusseted crotch is way too gusseted and makes the material bulge. I feel that when spending that much on a pair of pants, I expect the fit to at least be in the right ballpark for size!
Most of the time I love REI clothing. I've worn many items that look and perform just as well as many high priced brands for a fraction of the price! The only issue I've noticed consistently is that they usually run a little(one size) big which is never a problem if I order one size smaller...it just doesn't work for the Taku pants

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Regular:

Love these pants. I XC ski and cold weather hike in them w/a pair of tights as a base layer and they are perfect. Not too hot, but kept me plenty warm. Not bulky, easy to move in...You don't feel like the Michelin Tire Man in them!
