    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.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    The Smith Parallel D-Max polarized interchangeable sunglasses provide maximum coverage without obstructing your peripheral vision—ideal for trail running, cycling or a day on the water.

    • Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
    • Each frame includes 1 set of polarized lenses (tint depends on frame color) and 2 additional sets of lenses for a total of 3 sets of lenses
    • Brown frames feature polarized brown lenses that block reflected glare while providing increased depth perception and reducing eye strain
    • Black frames feature polarized gray lenses that block reflected glare while preserving natural colors in order to provide true color definition
    • Non-polarized, additional lenses are ideal for low and medium to nighttime light
    • Scratch- and impact-resistant Carbonic™ lenses use Smith Tapered Lens Technology 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
    • Grilamid® TR90 lightweight nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
    • Hydrophilic Megol™ nosepiece and temple ends become tackier when wet for reliable grip during exercise and hot weather
    • 9-base-curve lenses; (the higher the number the more curved the lens—Smith features sunglasses with 6, 7, 8 and 9 base curvature)
    • D-Max frames have a medium fit with extra-large lenses for greater coverage

    Imported.

          Comments about Smith Parallel D-Max Polarized Sunglasses:

          I purchased these Smith sunglasses after I returned a different brand of sunglasses. The lenses are much clearer and do not show distortion the way the other brand of sunglasses did. They come with three sets of lenses, dark polarized, a lighter set and one clear. I used them on vacation in Hawaii. The dark polarized lenses were great in the bright sun. This is the second pair of Smith sunglasses I have owned. Next time I won't bother trying a different brand.

            Comments about Smith Parallel D-Max Polarized Sunglasses:

            this product is great. I have tried many different sunglasses mainly oakleys, raybans, some arnettes but they all where more concerned with style and cost. I feel smith really created something special with these. I use to get headaches with the other glasses contributed largely to the concavity of the lense. These glasses are really clear when you put them on and I can wear them all day without headaches. They stay on no matter which way you are looking thanks to the inner grips on the inside of the ear arms on the glasses. Comes with 2 other lenses clear and a pinkish hue. those are great too since I also shoot with these glasses. The other brands cannot compare these glasses are great.

            Comments about Smith Parallel D-Max Polarized Sunglasses:

            the Dmax was suggested because it covered my "gap". i guess there is a gap between the lens and my cheekbone... the optics are great!! the fit is wonderful... the second you start working up a sweat the darned things fog instantly. catcrap works for about an hour and then you're blind. Have used them on a couple backcountry tours, and a couple foul weather hikes, no biking yet, but i'm not optimistic... these are great glasses just wished i would've gone with a smaller lens so that i got more airflow.
