    REI Members get back an estimated $ 12.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    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 Julbo Explorer Glacier Sunglasses:

      This glasses were designed specifically for the mountains in the winter with the winter sun. For anyone who's been in the mountains in the sun, possibly on a glacier, you know the impact of the sun. These glasses are fantastic for protecting your eyes in the bright winter sun. One company whose customer service rivals REI is Julbo. Have a problem, both companies will be everything to fix the issue. Can't say enough good things about these glasses. See a picture of a true alpine explorer in a magazine these days and there's a good chance they are wearing these glasses.

      "Too much whiz and not enough bang"

        • Inadequate Protection

        Comments about Julbo Explorer Glacier Sunglasses:

        I live in Hawai'i where the climate is always on the humid side, which means a great deal of perspiring.

        The black rubber around the glasses is peeling off. I find black spots on my face on a daily basis. The nose bridge gets sweaty underneath. Lastly, the side clip-on protectors keep falling off and now I only have one.

        I have always loved shopping at REI, but this is not a happy ending for me especially since they were an expensive gift from my family for my birthday.

        These glasses need to be improved for hot and humid weather.

          Very comfortable, effective pair of glacier sunglasses I've worn. I was able to adjust the moldable frame to fit perfectly to my face. I couldn't be more happy with any other pair of glacier sunglasses.
