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.

Providing an unobstructed field of vision for your high-speed activities, the rimless Smith PivLock V90 Max sunglasses feature a new interchangeable lens system for swapping out lenses.

Same as the PivLock V90 but with a larger silhouette, the V90 Max frames have a medium fit with large coverage
With the new patent pending PivLock interchangeable system, simply rotate temple piece up 45° and remove from lens; to remove nosepiece, grasp lens and pull piece away
Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Tapered Lens Technology™ from Smith to provide distortion-free vision
Tapered Lens Technology contours the thickness of the lens so that light travels through without distortion—what you see is what you get
Oleophobic lens coating repels moisture, grease and grime to keep your vision clear
Black frames feature gray lenses with a platinum mirror finish to reduce visible light and glare while preserving natural colors in order to provide true color definition
2 additional sets of lenses included: rose Ignitor lenses with mirror coating for medium light/overcast conditions; clear mirror lenses for low light to night conditions
Includes a total of 3 sets of lenses
7 base curve lenses; Smith features sunglasses with 6, 7, 8 and 9 base curvature—the higher the number, the more curved the lenses

Comments about Smith PivLock V90 Max Interchangeable Sunglasses:

Bought these glasses because they had great full coverage and also a non-polarized lens (wanted this to be able to see electronics screens better while outdoors). Lens changing is quick and simple. I've been skiing all week with these and I'm impressed how well they keep the wind out, how well they stay in place on my face, and how little light leeks in around the edges. Also great for road cycling.

Comments about Smith PivLock V90 Max Interchangeable Sunglasses:

I wear these cycling and running and these are great for both. I've never owned a pair of glasses that keep the wind out as well as these do. These are light, comfortable, and the arms & nose have enough tackiness that they fit quite securely. I imagine these would be great for skiing too, but perhaps they would fog. The only time these ever fog up for me is when I'm cooling down after my run and there is no breeze at all. I've used all three lenses, though the red lens and especially the polarized grey lens get the most use. My only worry is that one of the arms might break when swapping out the lenses, but that is just a worry. Highly recommend.

Comments about Smith PivLock V90 Max Interchangeable Sunglasses:

I used a previous iteration of these glasses for years, and the v90 max is even better. I use these for bicycle commuting on a daily basis, 12 miles a day 5 days a week. There is absolutely nothing obstructing your view. You get three lenses, many more are available. I wear the clearest of the three even at night as a measure of protection from rain and street grime that gets splashed around in bad weather. The lens coating does indeed seem to help keep vision clear. They fog up less frequently and need less cleaning than my old pair. Highly recommended.

Comments about Smith PivLock V90 Max Interchangeable Sunglasses:

Mainly used for cycling but my lady says they look great on me whenever I use them. I have been looking for sun glasses for years and I found these by accident as my lady was at REI looking for a day pack! The guy accidentally set them on the counter when I asked to see all his polarized glass (these are not). I was sad when I found out they where not... but these were so perfect that I decided to purchase them without the polarized feature.

I have dry eyes and these provide so much coverage that my contacts don't dry out when I ride!! I call that a bonus!

Oh, I wrote to smith and for $20.00 you will be able to buy the polarized lens for these too! I am still waiting for them to release it.

Comments about Smith PivLock V90 Max Interchangeable Sunglasses:

These sunglasses are GREAT. I was tired of riding my bike while looking into the top frame of sunglasses. These glasses offer full eye protection while riding low on the drops or on the aerobars. Glasses are very comfortable yet secure fitting and with excellent optics. Comes with 3 multipurpose lenses making it an excellent value compared to my no-longer-used Oakley and Rudy Project glasses. Changing lenses is simple, easy and don't break glasses like Rudy Project is certain to do. Extra lenses cost only $20 should you want more (really not needed).
