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.

by litespeed74from"Cool" helmetGreat all around helmet. Most noticeable was how cool your head stays. The vents are angled perfectly for air flow. No obnoxious visor either.

by EucalypticChewfromComfortable and fashionable.I try to ride at least every other day ten to twenty miles. My longest ride is 35 miles. This is my first helmet and although the size seems to be a little smaller than I expected, the helmet still fits me and is comfortable all through the 35 mile ride. Seems like it will be nice in the summer. Will try to update after more use.

by mndocfromGreat Urban HelmetThis was a replacement for a heavier and less expensive helmet which did the job in a crash. Compared to a road helmet, the Hex sits further down on the sides and the back, which feels like it gives more protection. Light weight, comfortable, and easy to adjust makes the extra cost worthwhile. Since everyone has a slightly differently shaped head, there is no substitute from trying on multiple helmets in the store if possible.

by LaRock5fromSaved my lifeI went over the handle bars while mountain biking and went head first into a tree. The helmet broke but my head didn't. It was a pretty serious crash and I ended up with 9 stitches and a pretty serious concussion. If not for this helmet I would either be dead or suffered a very serious head injury. Other than that the helmet vents well, is highly adjustable, and the visor is functional.

by delacrudfromCozy all-around helmetThis was a considerable upgrade for me from a Bern helmet. I ride my bike nearly every day so it's been worth the money to me because it's So much lighter and more ventilated. The only thing clunky about the adjustment is that you can tweak it under both ears and then under the jaw; the fit can get pretty nice, but it can mean frequent reworking of the straps. Part of the reason that doesn't bother me is that the roc-lock in the back feels nice and snug on my head and I like that it's a more natural extension of the way my head's already shaped (plus visor) instead of a racing helmet that has a bunch-a-business in the back.

by AllAbout2WheelsfromThis thing saved my lifeMy previous helmet was the same model, just an earlier version and different color. I crashed on a ride and it cracked, which is safe to say my "life saver". I was fine after hitting the deck pretty hard. I'm glad I was wearing this helmet. I liked it so much, I bought the same one. It's proven to work, so I didn't bother looking at other models.
