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 Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
I commute 30 miles per day round trip and was looking for a liner that I could wear under my cargo shorts. I am not into the "lycra" look and this liner was just what I needed. The liner is breathable, soft on the skin, and the padding does it's job! I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
This liner comes with more than ample padding, wicks well and dries fast. I use it primarily for my spinning class, while wearing another pair of shorts over it.At [$], I'll buy a couple more, just so I can rotate them.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
I have some Canari bike shorts that are really comfortable in the seat, but the cuffs are a little tight around my thighs. I figured I'd try these underneath regular shorts, and after a dozen or rides (long recreational and running errands), I'm really happy with them. The stitching and elastic seem to be holding up after a few delicate-cycle washes. Most importantly for me though, is that they aren't totally uncomfortable to wear even off the bike. I'm gong to buy a couple more of these so I can wear them when I start commuting to work in the fall.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
As alternative go, this is an excellent product for those of us with large glutes and short thighs. My ONLY gripe is that the elastic leg openings are only 1/4", and when worn for a long period of time, they chafe the heck out of my lower thigh like a rope noose. Increase the elastic area to 1/2"-3/4" (like a regular cycling short) and you have the ultimate liner.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
Purchased based on price when compared to most shorts. Others have commented on the chamois being thick and slightly uncomfortable while out of the saddle which is a real mixed blessing. In the saddle the extra cushion is welcome. I've used these boxers for rides up to an hour and half long with great comfort. My only complaint is that the legs are a bit too snug.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
I bought these like many to avoid the cost of higher priced shorts. I am a big guy, 5'11'' 280lb. These shorts just do not have the padding I was looking for. Sore sit bones set in around 15 miles, while wearing my Pearl full shorts I can go 30 miles without a flinch. I like the concept of these for casual riding, but they do not fit the bill. My seat Specialized Riva- while not a rock hard race seat-it is a fairly hard and slim seat (works for me body wise aside from the pain with these shorts). As such I needed a little bit more padding than these boxers offer.
Also these were HUGE. I bought a XXL set and I think I could have gotten away with a L. If you a heavier rider, think about looking for some thicker padding if you are riding on a less than plush saddle for 10+ miles.

Comments about Novara Padded Cycle Boxers - Men's:
[...] these liners are made well, however for me, they had some fit issues.I am a consistent medium, and found these shorts fairly over sized. In addition, the pad in the liners, is very large compared to other liners and shorts I have ridden in. They chafed both on and off the bike. (I am skinny and tall)I was concerned about the padding, so when I returned them I went with the Canari Gel liners. They fit like a glove as a medium, and the padding is a size more to my liking. Haven't put many miles on them yet, but in a short ride they felt fantastic.[...]
