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.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
Nice, well made tights. I love the sleek fit provided by the ankle zippers. I use them for moderate temperatures when it is too cold for capris and too warm for fleece since I usually run cold. Anything below forty degrees I switch to tights with fleece panels which these do not have. Good wicking and ventilation My only caution with these would be that at 5'2" I selected these over the petite tights since those were too short, this does leave me with a little bunching at the ankles, but I found this to be better than the alternative of too short tights.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
These cool-weather performance tights come at a great price point, which is a huge draw for me. The craftsmanship is typically good (I would expect nothing less from REI) and I appreciate the nice-sized zippered pocket in the back, mesh panels behind the knees, and reflective detail at the ankles.
My only word of caution -- I purchased a size small (I'm 5'7", ~130lbs) and although the fit is snug throughout the waist, butt, and legs, the ankles are way too loose. To be fair, I have pretty slim calves/ankles, but the cuffs are meant to be non-slip, and these don't even touch my skin. The roomy fit is probably fine for most people, but if you share my leg shape, you may want to consider a different style.
Also note: I tried on an x-small to see if it made any difference, and although the ankles are noticeably smaller, the overall fit is too tight for my frame.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
I purchased the medium and I'm 5'4, 135 lbs. These tights fit well except for the zippered ankle which doesn't fit tight around my ankle. The bottom flops around and the zipper rubs just above my heel. I only used these for 3 runs (all of which were under 5 miles) and I developed a sore just above my heel where the zipper sits. I will definitely be returning these.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
These are well-designed to support the leg muscles, and if you don't mind your tights hitting an inch above your ankles, these will be ideal for you. At 5' 8" and 130 pounds, I chose a size small because the medium felt too baggy. Also, the cut seems to be low-rise. These tights could use a key pocket in the front.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
I am in love with these running tights. I normally use Nike's Dry fit and have always been satisfied - but after trying REI's I will never go back. The REI brand has an amazing ability to wick sweat and dries very fast. They are very light weight but feel supportive after running for several miles and legs are a little tired. The tights feel almost tailored to fit nicely for a woman's shape. The fabric is cut in panels with the seaming to allow for the contours of your body giving a surprisingly flattering fit compared to just regular running tights. I highly recommend these!!!!

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
Ok, so I just got back from Iraq, where I ran every day in the Army's idea of fitness wear. :( I lost 45 pounds and ordered these tights so that I could keep up my running and keep down the weight! First time in my life that I've ever worn a running tight, and oh my freaking gosh... comfort! No shorts riding up, no chafing, no wind on the skin... I passed the planned 3 miles and went for 5. They fit great, I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds and ordered the medium. Sits GREAT at the waist, doesn't pinch like other "spandex" shorts I've worn. Love 'em!

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
I am pleased with this purchase. I was a little hesitant to buy these after reading the reviews about the ankle zippers rubbing, but I did not have any of these issues. I got them right before an 8.4 mile race and wore them for the first time for that long run with no issues. I am also 130 pounds, but maybe a little shorter at 5' 6" and found the medium to be just the right size (tightness and length). The ankles are loose, but do not rub.
Service and delivery comments:
The first pair arrived with a tiny hole on one seam where the stitching didn't meet up. I was afraid that would continue to get bigger since they are tight. Customer Service was very helpful, paid for shipping back and sent out a new pair right away since I needed them for a fall race.

I am 5' and 105 lbs and the petite was a great fit. I love them except for my right leg, the zipper scratches my skin. I looked at the zipper and they were just cut leaving a rough edge rather than a typical zipper end.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
I have two pairs of these tights. I workout 4-5 days a week and do Crossfit workouts in these. Olympic Lifting, body weight exercises, running, situps, jump rope (double unders), pull ups, box jumps, hand stand push ups, etc. I bought them because the weather got chilly and these are awesome! I love the way the waist band fits, and the cut of these tights is flattering. They seem to hold up to tough workouts, and I have recommended them to a few other girls in the gym who also like them. I am 5'4" and I got the XS regular length. They are just a little loose around the ankle, but not enough that it bothers me. Wore these for an all day Crossfit competition and they were comfortable the whole time. Would love to see some choices in colors other than black, or possibly black with some accent colors?

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's:
I am 5'10 and 160lbs, I bought a medium since the L was a bit loose..these tights are great...i use them from the mid 20's to low 40s...for running, the fabric is great and doesnt get snagged on trail runs, the L was a bit to loose on me, they are 'supportive' about as tight as other 2xu products, they are NOT too short ..i think the other comments may have mistakenly purchased a petite - since thats mostly what was in the store. Lots of thought to little details - like the zipper at an angle near your ankles so it doesnt rub against your achilles - i would highly recommend them!
