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.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Multisport Crew Socks:

I used to hate wearing socks in general. Depending on the day of week and whether or not these socks are clean, I hate wearing [other] socks.

Honestly, I'm surprised I'm reviewing socks.

These socks are cool, have held up better than a pair of [intelligent] and more expensive socks, and dry quickly.

---Suggestion for REI---
Expand your selection to support my feet when I'm suited up and hiking the conference exhibition floors. We need some solid tans, browns, blacks, etc. Check out the standard Dock-work-ers colors and replicate with PET.
If these were in business friendly colors, I'd buy them instantly. Usually, my business socks wear out- not necessarily holes in the mesh sock structure, but the softer 'filling' fuzz starts to disappear.

Aside from being great socks- I would like the opportunity to recycle the PET when I'm done.

Does not perform as well as expected

Pros

Fair wicking ability
Regulates Temperature Well

Cons

Slippery in the shoe
Wears Quickly

Best Uses

Light use

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Multisport Crew Socks:

These socks are quite slippery on the outside and they tend to slide around within my shoes unless I lace them up very tightly. They're also wearing out faster than any other sock I've ever used. After just a few uses there are already noticeable chafe marks on the outside.

I hike mostly in a warm climate, and I bought these socks because of their high CoolMax content and their implied coolness and breathability. I thought they would be a good match for my highly breathable shoes (Merrell Moab Ventilators). However, after comparison testing it turns out that their breathability is nothing special. For testing purposes I took several brisk walks with a different type of sock on each foot. I was surprised to discover that my lightweight (but slightly thicker) 70% merino wool socks did a noticeably better job of keeping my feet dry. They also didn't slide around in my shoes at all. Temperature-wise, both socks felt about the same.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Multisport Crew Socks:

I like the comfort and breathability of this sock. It is very supportive for my toes and balls of my feet. It washes well and is durable.

Suggestions: Please offer this sock in black, dark brown, and navy. Then I could wear it with my dark clothing and at work with my casual shoes!

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Multisport Crew Socks:

Feel softer than the original, which was made with corn(???)or something. But, even washing inside-out, in cold water, and line drying they are very tight and seem to get tighter over time. After buying a pair in my usual large size, I went up to x-large. Still tight. The stretch panel across the instep takes getting used-to. Looks like a good idea, but doesn't really work.

I'm an RN. On my feet all day. These felt cushy and have not made my feet hot. My feet do sweat when hot. No problem staying put on my skinny legs. These were a great find!
