REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

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.

Comments about REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm - Pair:

If you try to use the "tip protectors" instead of the "rubber tips" you will be quickly disappointed! The tip protectors are NOT FOR WALKING--simply for transporting your poles safely so the sharp metal tips don't jab you or poke through your pack. They work great for that, but are NOT intended for use on the road or trail.

However, the rubber tips themselves are a "must have" for general hiking/walking, and I'm surprised that they aren't included with the poles to start with. I found on the AT that the steel tips either skitter across smooth surfaces, get stuck between rocks, or sink too far into soft dirt. But the rubber tips them useful in most trail conditions and on asphalt--and make them much quieter, too.

I never liked using trekking poles until I put these tips on them. They work great and last a long time. Don't buy the poles without them.

Comments about REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm - Pair:

REI claims that these tips will fit Komperdell trekking poles. Well, in all fairness to REI, these tips may, in fact, fit some Komperdell trekking poles, but they DO NOT FIT the Komperdell poles I just purchased. That, naturally, renders them useless, for the purpose for which they are intended--the purpose for which they were purchased. Sent back. If you are near enough to an REI store to try them out before you buy, I would recommend doing so.

Comments about REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm - Pair:

I bought these to protect the tips of my trekking poles. I got waylaid before I could use the poles and then when I went to use them these tips had split vertically just sitting on the tips without ever being used! Not what I expect of an REI product.

they tore before I realized it. certainly can't be used to walk with, and are only minimally useful for tip protectors. Do not fit the poles they are supposed to fit I guess. rubber is thin too.

Comments about REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm - Pair:

These are actually nothing more than tip protectors. Used them once for some fitness walking of not more than 4 km and the metal tip on my REI trekking poles was worn through. Returned to the store and am now trying the LEKI fitness walking tips. Bite the bullet and but the expensive tips!

Comments about REI Trekking Pole Rubber Walking Tips - 12mm - Pair:

I see another reviewer had a problem, but I've used these for years and never had them wear through, even using my old ones all the stone steps of the Inca Trail. I shared the extra new ones I had on the trip with others who wore through theirs. Its the best buy of the tips.
