    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.

      I use these shoes mostly for indoor climbing and bouldering and I find that they fit well, haven't tried to slip off and grip very well.

        Comments about Scarpa Helix Rock Shoes - Men's:

        These are my first pair of climbing shoes and I've been wearing them for about 3 months now and absolutely love them. I mainly boulder indoors, but have used them quite a bit for top roping and on indoor slab problems.

        These are very durable shoes with great grip. I once set them atop my car and drove off from the gym, then got home and realized they fell off my car. I later found them 5 miles away from the gym in the middle of the road. 1 of them had gotten run over by a car(I could tell from tread marks on it) and it was still in perfect condition.

        They occasionally slip on small chips, but I don't have much experience with other shoes to compare against. I can still smear, toe and heel hook effectively with these shoes.

        They have also gotten wet and will dry out well, or you can throw them in the dryer no problem (haven't tried the washing machine yet).

          Good shoes at the right price. Could breathe a little better. I climb in hot humid climate and shoes get "sticky" inside

            Comments about Scarpa Helix Rock Shoes - Men's:

            I had originally bought evolv's Defy VTRs but they were not sufficient for my Morton's toe.

            I have a longer left foot, but for some reason my toes feel more snug in these. It is not a con, as I usually have my shoes off when belaying or not climbing.

            I climb outside maybe once every other month and I do indoor bouldering/top roping two to three times per week. I would recommend these to anyone!

            Good shoe for slab climbing

            Pros

            • Can feel rock with foot
            • Great for slab

            Cons

            • Only good for slab

            Best Uses

            • Slab Climbing

            Comments about Scarpa Helix Rock Shoes - Men's:

            I bought these shoes to only use for slab climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon. They are awesome shoes because I can feel the rock with my feet. I would not use these shoes for sport, crack, bouldering or gym climbing. I have other shoes for that. They are such a soft, comfy shoe but give you almost no support. For me they are for slab only.

                Very comfortable but that's about all I've got from them.

                Not sure where they come up with this-

                "Sticky rubber soles provide good grip on rock whether you're edging or smearing..." as the biggest problem I've had is how slick they are.

                No chance of smearing on anything, whether in the gym or outdoors. But might just need more breaking in.

                For now, a bit disappointed.
