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 Kuhl Ambush Cargo Shorts - Men's:
Kuhl has done it right when it comes to shorts. I live in Kuhl shorts all summer. This is my third pair. Just got these a couple of weeks ago and find myself wearing them all the time. I like the cargo pockets for easy storage.

Comments about Kuhl Ambush Cargo Shorts - Men's:
I went into REI needing a decent pair of shorts for camping and climbing. I told myself I wouldn't look at price, I would just buy whatever fit and looked the best. These were what I chose.
They are pricey, at least by my humble standards, I've never even bought pants that cost this much, but I'd buy them again.
They fit very nice. The waist feels like it was cut for my frame. The leg pockets are awesome, the curved zipper is brilliant, it follows the natural motion of your arm as it swings, so zipping and unzipping is easy. This seems like a small victory, but once you wear them a while, you realize how great this design is.
The legs are a little long, but I'm not that tall. Only 5'11". When I'm biking, I usually roll the leg up an inch so my knees don't catch the fabric too much as I peddle.
After climbing at Devil's Lake, I jumped in the lake and as long as it's sunny, these shorts dry quickly enough. Even if they're wet though, the dark color doesn't really look wet.
While climbing, they move with your body better than most shorts. It's easier to reach tough footholds.
All in all, these shorts are incredible. I never thought I'd spend this much on a pair of shorts, but I don't regret it one bit.

Comments about Kuhl Ambush Cargo Shorts - Men's:
Cargo pockets are very functional...first time really using these type of pockets because normally the items rattle around and annoy me.
Fits great, and I like the look of the longer leg.
Love the material...soft, but durable.

Comments about Kuhl Ambush Cargo Shorts - Men's:
I bought these shorts in the store rather than online, which I would recommend to get a proper fit and desired color. Although the waist feels a little tight for the size given, the shorts are nice and loose around the thigh. I love the mesh lined pockets because it makes them more breathable. The material and construction of the shorts are solid. I have used these for hiking, fishing, casual, disc golf, paintball, biking, and even sand volleyball. It has shown very little signs of wear and no rips or loose threads.

Best Uses
Comments about Kuhl Ambush Cargo Shorts - Men's:
From the picture on the REI website the shorts appear to be tapered at the bottom. Instead they are a VERY loose fit. If you want a cargo short that fits a bit closer and tapers towards the knee, then this is NOT the short you want. A more realistic picture and description would have saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks REI.
