    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.

    • NOW PLAYING

    The Novara Mia Gel women's mountain bike double shorts have a gel-padded chamois that absorbs shock creating happy tails as well as trails.

    • Durable recycled nylon outer shorts move easily with you; water-repellent finish helps them dry quickly
    • Moisture-wicking, stretch-mesh liner shorts allow ventilation for cooling and have a built-in chamois pad for comfort
    • Women-specific, Novara Gel chamois conforms to body contours; a top layer of breathable foam and a bottom layer of thin, resilient foam enhances comfort on the bike
    • Full-coverage, women-specific Novara Gel chamois features a perforated gel pad to cushion; microfiber cover wicks moisture away
    • Gel pad system dissipates shock and reduces skin irritation by forming a fluid barrier between the hard saddle shell and the cyclist
    • Ultrasoft, breathable chamois is fully elasticized for added flex and stretch
    • Liner shorts feature elastic grippers at hems to keep shorts from riding up
    • Novara Mia Gel bike double shorts feature 1 cargo pocket and 1 hidden zipper pocket
    • Fixed waistband with a zipper fly and double-snap closure
    • Fabric provides UPF 50+ sun protection, shielding skin from harmful ultraviolet rays

    Imported.

          Comments about Novara Mia Gel Double Bike Shorts - Women's:

          I agree with the other reviewer . These are enormous. Extremely comfortable and great padding but just too large.... I'm 5'7" and 165, and I usually wear a size 12 so I ordered a large. These are falling down on the waist and the bike shorts layer are way too loose to cycle in.... Overall very well made and nice style.... I've ordered a size smaller... Excited to wear a size medium for the first time in a decade :).

            Comments about Novara Mia Gel Double Bike Shorts - Women's:

            I bought these because i've been bikeing alot more than i had been. because of this i wanted a pair of shorts with a good seat for longer rides. the look and quality is great. however, the large is really large. I'm generally a size 10/12, these seem like they are more like a size 16 in the waist! other than my fear that the will fall off, the padding is great and they are comfortable. i'm going to return the large and try the medium. Hope that helps.

              Love these shorts. Since they look like regular shorts, no one knows I am wearing bike shorts and they aren't form fitting.
