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.

Comments about Tectron Water Repellent Spray for Apparel:

Yes, this stuff smells toxic, so I apply it outdoors and upwind, but the smell goes away once the garment dries completely.

2 things to remember- you really have to soak the garment to get the DWR to apply, and a second coat a couple days after it's dried (as recommended on the bottle) is a very good idea. You are not going to get the advertised 50 sq ft of coverage the bottle claims, that's for sure.

My TNF ski bibs are water repellent again. Time will tell how long this stuff works, but at this point they are even more repellent than when I bought them!

Comments about Tectron Water Repellent Spray for Apparel:

I've tried pretty much every waterproofing product out there and this one is the best for items that cannot be tumble dried. People don't realize that most waterproof items (such as gore-tex) can and need to be tumble dried to restore a good dwr when using waterproofing products, especially the wash in type. Look at your care tag! If it can go through the tumble drier, do it, the heat helps bond the fabric and restore dwr. My shell cannot be tumble dried and ironing doesn't do the job for other products. This one has been the most effective for restoring the original dwr.
