If the color or size you want is not listed in the "Choose Your Color/Size" drop-down box on the Product Information page, it is not then available for ordering. Please check back later. If the color or size you want has an asterisk next to it in the drop-down box, it is on backorder. Sometimes we will not know in advance that product is unavailable, so when you place items in your Shopping Cart you will be asked if you would like to backorder them. If you indicate yes, the item will be sent to you once it becomes available. Note that some items may be backordered or unavailable even if the Sites indicate that they are in-stock, and adding an item to your cart does not guarantee the availability of that item. We will not charge your payment card until the item ships to the designated delivery address. If you choose to ship an item to an REI store for pick-up, you will be charged at the time the item is shipped from our distribution center. If the backordered item is no longer available, we will cancel the item from your order and notify you, usually via e-mail. If you have items on backorder that you would like to cancel, please contact us.
