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 Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
second pair for me. I like that the back pockets now have zips. The only down side is there is only one color-black. i wear them for all kinds of stuff including working professional setting.

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I have had several pairs of these pants over the years, through at least 3 redesigns. My favorite pair of comfortable pants for hiking, backpacking, and even work. I really wish they were more consistently available. It looks like they will be discontinued from what I can see on trying to order them - not happy about that!
BTW - am a woman ordering man's pants because they provide better fit than the "women's" versions! Of course it would be nice if there were more larger-petite versions of the women's clothes!

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I am extremely pleased with these pants. I recently wore them ice climbing, with a base layer underneath, and found them flexible and comfortable with a harness on. Also, with a base layer underneath, they were the perfect light/breathable pants to wear while snowshoeing. I definitely don't regret buying them, and I look forward to wearing them during the spring.

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I just got the Mistral pants as a gift and they are so comfortable that I've started to wear them around the house even when I don't plan on going outside. One warning though ... I found them to be a little slim fitting (like wearing skinny jeans). I actually ended up sizing up, which I found to be a little loose. I wish they made odd sizes.

Great pants. Comfortable and light. I use these on business casual days, travel, outdoors in all but the coldest days (in the south). Can stretch out if you wear several days but snaps back after washing.

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I use these on my daily bike commute when the temperature drops to the low 50's F and colder. They keep me warm down to about 30F and I add a layer of thermal underwear with colder temps. These pants are perfect for my bike commute: They are black, so they won't show chain oil; They are stretchy, especially in the knees; They are windproof; They are water resistant; they dry quickly; and, They don't look like geeky bike pants. They could use two more belt loops, for a total of seven, and the front pockets could be about two inches deeper. Other than that, I am satisfied with this product.

This was a gift to myself. These pants wear like titanium. Use for all occasions. Wearing them as I write this review. Great investment at full price. Look sharp feel sharp wearing them.

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Light pants, suitable for summer hikes or possibly a top layer over a base layer in colder conditions.
Reasonably ventilated and very comfortable. They do stretch a bit thanks to the spandex content, so the range of motion is quite good (convenient when trying to get a leg up during rock climbing).
Could use some side cargo pockets since the climbing harness pretty much seals off the side pockets - but not a big deal.
They do make a "swoosh" sound when you walk, if this kind of thing bothers you :)
I did only use them twice so far so can't comment about durability.

Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Incredibly versatile pants, work very well in sub zero temperatures to block wind and snow when paired with a mid layer such as fleece. Not too hot on their own while active in 60 degree F weather. Resist water, but will absorb moisture if you sit down in the snow or rest on your knees. Best of all they look enough like normal pants to be worn around town on my hitchhiking trips.
My only complaint is that after about a month of wearing them, several seams were becoming un-stitched. They still hold together as they are double seamed, but I will need to resew them eventually.

If you like pants that fit, are not bulky but are very comfortable, look good, withstand a good bit of wear and tear, you're going really enjoy these pants.
