    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.

        Too big/too small

              Comments about Novara Exposure Double Bike Shorts - Men's:

              Have to echo the other reviewer who found himself between sizes. I'm 6'2", 185 pounds and wear a 34 in just about everything. For me, the larges were too large, the mediums too small. The legs were a bit short too, but I like them long so maybe it's just me.

              Unfortunately, these are going back, which is too bad because I really wanted to like them and they seem like great shorts otherwise. For the just-right rider, these will be a great find.

              Comments about Novara Exposure Double Bike Shorts - Men's:

              I agree with another reviewer that the front pockets are kind of useless. The side zip pockets are a good size e.g. cell phone, keys, lip balm, credit card, ID, but not a wallet.
              These are comfortable and you can cut the cords that hold the liner/padding to the shorts so you can wear them when you are biking to a store/pub/coffee shop etc. I'm taking these on a 10-day trip to Europe as my go-to non-biking shorts since they dry so quickly and are comfortable.

                  When these came out of the wash it took a scientific discovery team to put them back into the right position.
                  When Riding felt like a young man with my bottom hanging out.

                  Comments about Novara Exposure Double Bike Shorts - Men's:

                  Two pockets on each side have problems: the zipped pocket is impossible to unzip while rolling. The larger high pockets are positioned so that anything in them is on the hip bend, inconvenient.

                    Of the mtb horts REI carries in the store, these had the thickest padding by far which i wanted for my skinny little butt. My waist is a size 30, and REI's sizing chart says that i should wear a small. The small was too small, and the medium was much too large, fit like a large. REI needs to get it's sizing better sized....
