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 Platypus Big Zip SL 1.8L Reservoir - 60 fl. oz.:

I originally purchased the 2.0L model and LOVE it, my only complaint was that it was a little long/tall to fit in my osprey packs...Ather 70, Atmos 50, and Stratos 26. The 1.8L version is shorter and fits MUCH better. It's very easy to clean, the Zip Top hold securely and once it's cleaned a few time, there are no "plastic" tastes. I also really like how my Katadyn Hiker Pro connects right to it without having to pull it out of my pack. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the market for a hydration bladder...especially if you are using it with an Osprey pack.Another resource for owners...[@]Answers to any questions you might have and customer service is GREAT!I'd also recommend purchasing the bite valve cover. It works great for keeping it clean.

Comments about Platypus Big Zip SL 1.8L Reservoir - 60 fl. oz.:

Nice product. Very sturdy and reliable. Easy to use. The hose detaches easily and the zip feature makes it very easy to fill even in water fountains. Having a hydration pack makes the weight of the water distribute evenly in the pack. Keeps you well hydrated on long hikes. The bite valve is great too. I went with the 1.8 vs the 2L because in store the 2L bag was longer and narrower and I am using a small dayhiker bag so this was a better fit.

Comments about Platypus Big Zip SL 1.8L Reservoir - 60 fl. oz.:

I picked up one of these from Scratch and Dent and took a chance on it.
WOW. I would have paid full price for the thing now.

I filled it up with water at home, sealed up the zipper, and dropped it on the floor. Hard. I then kicked it. Hard.

No leaks.

This bag has been on the trail a few times since then and I am thinking of adding another larger bag to my pack to give me greater capacity.

Comments about Platypus Big Zip SL 1.8L Reservoir - 60 fl. oz.:

I can't say that I'm a fan, the bite valve is not all that good and has no cover. The cover and insulation kit is $20, that's insane, that would bring the total up to $50 which is WAY out of line. I purchased a whole pack including the hydration bag, valve cover and insulation for $20 from a warehouse club and the quality was no different.
