    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 SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Mini Socks - Men's:

        I'm a bit of a sock maven and I think that these socks are great! They wear very well, are well cushioned and you can't even tell that the toe seam exists. The ONLY downfall I have found is that the heal does wear out a little quicker than I would expect. The rest of the sock typically indicates little to no wear but I have a hole in the heal. I'll say it again, these are great socks and I've been buying and using these for years.

          Comments about SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Mini Socks - Men's:

          I'm not sure how long these will hold up, but I've had them on for the last 4 days. Nothing tortuous like the PCT; just been wearing them as my daily socks. Couple of bike rides, runs to the store, picking the kid up from school. Every time I slip them on, my feet sigh like happy little lambs. . .which makes sense, cause these are made of wool. They don't smell like barnyard lambs either after all this wear, which is pretty cool.

          I can't speak to how long they will last (especially if I'm wearing them this much) but I can say these are sublimely comfortable and fit well. They cost too much (i'm more of a 3 pack of socks for ten dollars guy) but if they hold up, they are worth it.

            Comments about SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Mini Socks - Men's:

            SmartWool PhD socks are hands (feet) down my favorite socks, regardless of the specific configuration of the sock. They wear well, stay soft, and are very comfortable. These particular ones are especially great for any activities when wearing shorts.
