Despite the many good products offered by REI, I cannot patronize the company in good conscience because its official policy is not to encourage or promote offroad motorized recreation and because REI donates millions of dollars each year to organizations whose avowed purpose is to restrict or eliminate offroading on public lands. These organizations include the Sierra Club, National Forest Foundation, The Wilderness Society, Center for Biological Diversity, California Wilderness Coalition (the lobbying group that actually wrote the legislative bills introduced by Senators Feinstein and Boxer that closed millions of acres in the California desert), Arizona Wilderness Coalition, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and others. REI also supports the Roadless Initiative which has the sole purpose of closing established jeep trails.
