REI Members get back an estimated 10% 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.

The old model had an additional three pockets - one on each side, and one on the back. I'm really bummed the pockets are gone.

Comments about REI Lunch Cooler:

I work 12 hour days and needed a lunch bag that would hold temp well and now I have found it. This bag is just the right size for me and can hold plenty of food even with a ice pack in the bottom. I bought the Rubbermaid Blue Ice Blanket to use with mine and after 12 hours in a room at ~72 degrees the sheet still has some frozen cubes on it and is cold. I couldn't ask for more and being an REI backed product just give me more confidence in the bag. Thanks REI. You are the best.

Comments about REI Lunch Cooler:

I use this for my work lunch. It has a front pocket and a place for 2 drinks on the outside. While it doesnt fit large containers, I still like it because I work construction and dont want to carry around a big bulky bag.

Comments about REI Lunch Cooler:

Anything that cannot hold a Lean Cuisine box is not worth considering. Also too small for most Tupperware dishes.

Comments about REI Lunch Cooler:

We have the OLD STYLE of this particular bag and it is GREAT! it has pockets on the side, a small pocket in the back, a larger pocket in the front and velcro straps that will adhere to the back of the bag to make it smaller for storage.

well...we got it a little too close to the campfire and a spark burned the top. now it is no longer able to be used for the kid's lunch bag. I went to
ReI for another.

I ended up buying this NEW design b/c that is all they had available in this size. it is horrible!! no padded handle like the last one. Smaller front pocket, no pocket at all on the back, and the thing my 6 year old commented on is that there is now no place for a drink.

Bad design choice REI!! Just Bad! We will be returning it. It was overpriced and I could get the same thing at a big box store for much less. I wanted the same thing you had last year. Very unimpressed.

Comments about REI Lunch Cooler:

I was excited to receive this bag and was disappointed that it was so tiny! I cannot even fit any of my tupperware in it because it is short and narrow. I can fit in 1 banana, half a small sandwich and smoosh in a couple crackers at the most in this bag. This may be good for someone to carry a snack in if you were in elementary school, but not a decent meal. If the bag were bigger, I would be happy because I like the green color and it seems durable. When I received it, the interior lining was very bulgy and did not lay flat...I tried pressing it down but it did not remedy it 100%. Not sure if others have this issue...
