Description

Ounce-counters, meet our lightest 2-person tent yet: the REI Co-op Flash Air 2. Pitch it with its own poles—or use your trekking poles—and you'll barely know it's in your pack.

Key facts

• The nearly 90° hubbed roof poles give extra headroom; foot pole increases volume at the other end, giving your toes room to wiggle, for a comfy night's sleep
• Fly/vestibule protects your gear in bad weather, then rolls up over the roof for stargazing or pitches out to create a large awning in friendlier weather
• Premium aluminum poles and tested materials maximize lightweight durability and provide nearly vertical walls
• Designed to pitch with most trekking poles so you can leave the vertical poles at home to save weight
• 2 large, easy-entry canopy-style doors
• Internal mesh pockets and gear loops allow for simple organization
• Packs down to 17.91 in. long—an easy fit in bike panniers or a backpack
• Guyout loops allow for tethering in inclement weather
• Comes with poles, a stuff sack, stakes, guylines and tensioners
• The weight-saving design of this nonfreestanding tent requires you to stake it out during setup
• Hybrid single-wall construction optimizes weight and livability
