    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 Black Diamond Bbee Pack:

        Picked this up a few trips ago for day hikes. It's small, comfortable, and fits the basics: a hydration bladder (pack & straps are rigged for the hose), a couple of lightweight layers, lunch, and my essentials. I'm going to repeat this: 11L is a SMALL pack, so if you're concerned about capacity try it out in a store first.

        I haven't spent enough time with it to comment on durability but other reviewers' comments seem plausible. It's a light pack made out of light materials and if it's tossed around I can certainly see it taking wear & tear easily.

        Comments about Black Diamond Bbee Pack:

        Outstanding little pack. This replaced my previous all-day laptop carrier that I had been using since grade school 15 years ago.

        I am a huge fan of ultralight minimalism. Most of my backpacking gear is as light as can be (within comfort margins). It doesn't get much more minimalist than this one (maybe if they cut out the hydration pack sleeve they could save another ounce. Hmm... I think I'll do just that ;) )

        Since I can get paged at any time to respond to a work crisis, I like to carry my laptop around when out and about. I recently bought a new Macbook Pro and decided that the old pack was now too heavy for regular all day usage.

        I checked out basically every pack I could find. This was the lightest that had dimensions that may fit my MBP. After a trip down to the SF store... I happily discovered that, while a definite squeeze, my Retina Macbook Pro FITS!

        Not only does it fit, but it's also still super comfy on my back (Key requirement #2). A lot of packs feel like flat boards with large laptops in them, but not this one!

        Amazingly, this combo weighs less than my old 3 pound pack with an 11" Macbook Air!

        Time will tell if it holds up like my old pack did. The construction appears to be very solid. I'm going to add a 1 ounce sleeve to protect the Mac and I'll be generally good to go!

        Great job Black Diamond! I hope these sell well as I'd like to see more designs like this in the future. My wife's so jealous that she's buying one for her MBA. :)

        Comments about Black Diamond Bbee Pack:

        i totally dig this pack, minimalist design, streamlined, decent material for its class of pack, fits my climbing shoes chalk-bag lunch and a shirt/ laptop work clothes and folders, great pack but the fancy reversed zipper grabs the inside lining and will probably end up tearing itself apart down the road.

        Comments about Black Diamond Bbee Pack:

        Nice light low profile pack that is well constructed with one very big exception. The 'easy to remove' waist belt actually will 'easily' fall off the pack when not in use. It happened to me a couple times and I took to either removing them or clipping them together and cinching tight to avoid this which was fine, no big deal, until that one day I forgot to do this and carried it around for about an hour and yep both straps fell out and I only could find one. Big bummer. Black Diamond in the future please make them easy to remove but not self removing. In my opinion, a design flaw in terms of the pairing of the thin and slippery strap with melted and thinned end and the cinching buckle. I would wrap some tape around the end of the strap next time around.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
