    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 Bandita Convertible Pants - Women's:

          I love these pants because they have enough stretch to keep them comfortable, but don't stretch out. I have other pants that stretch so much the waist ends up down around my hips. Not these - they are the best! And I love the zip-off leg option, and it's easy to do.

          Comments about Kuhl Bandita Convertible Pants - Women's:

          I really love these pants. Was convinced to buy Kuhl's from my fella, as he loves his. The legs are wide enough for free range of movement when climbing, but not baggy enough to get in the way. They're a little long for my tastes, so I usually just unzip them into capris. Hiking-wise, they're great too.

            Comments about Kuhl Bandita Convertible Pants - Women's:

            First time I wash these pants; normal cycle I noticed one of the legs came unzipped and I found a zipper tab in my dryer. I just didn't figure out what it went to until I wanted to convert these pants to shorts. Not only had the zipper broke but it also jammed. I am returning the pants and I wont get another pair which it too bad because they were super cute and comfortable.

            Do not dry in dryer!!

                  It is me again - I followed the care instructions and dried these in the dryer on low - and they shrunk! What a bummer. They still sort of fit but are snug. Normally I would air dry anyway but was in a hurry and the tag said to use the dryer...

                  I contacted Kuhl directly and they are replacing, but who knows how long that will take, so save yourself a headache and either buy a size up (and hope they shrink consistently) or air dry ALL the time.

                  Can barely tell they are convertible!

                      Comments about Kuhl Bandita Convertible Pants - Women's:

                      I just bought these in the dark grey color and absolutely loved them. I tried on about 10 pairs of convertible pants before settling on these. I really wanted the kind that roll up into capris, because I hate the way the zip-off pants look. But in the dark color you can barely tell at all that they zip off. They are awesome!

                      I was torn between these and a pair of roll-ups by Prana, mainly because the Prana were slightly more figure flattering on me when they were worn as pants (and only slightly - these look great too). But when I rolled up the Prana (and every other pair I tried on), it just felt like they would not be much cooler due to the bunched up fabric, so I may as well just wear regular pants. With these, they look great as pants, or capris, or even shorts! I did not even realize until I was leaving the fitting room that they turned into shorts too - so of course I had to go back in and try that as well!

                      The material is lightweight and feels like it will dry quickly. The seams on the back are very flattering, and overall the pants are stylish enough that I would not feel too frumpy wearing them off the trail as well.

                      They run true to the sizing chart - a little big in the waist, but they do have beltloops, which I prefer to a drawstring. The Pranas had better pockets (back flaps with buttons seemed like they would hold more), but these do have small front and back pockets as well as small pockets on the leg with a button.
