REI Co-op Flash Air 2 Tent

The REI Co-op Flash Air 2 is a single-wall, trekking-pole-supported tent for two, built to A-frame geometry using three aluminum poles rather than the single center pole typical of pyramid designs. Trail weight is 1090 g — about 545 g per person — genuinely ultralight for a two-person tent, well below typical freestanding double-wall tents of the same capacity. What stands out is vestibule space: two vestibules total 2.67 m², more than half the tent's 4.64 m² floor area, so gear storage is unusually generous relative to the sleeping area. The 20D silicone-coated recycled nylon covers both fly and floor, with a bathtub floor for a sealed base, and a partial-mesh inner panel balances airflow, backed by two adjustable vents against condensation. Two doors mean independent entry and exit rather than climbing over a tent-mate. Being non-freestanding, it depends on trekking poles and ten stakes plus taut guy-outs for shape. For two ultralight-minded hikers comfortable with single-wall trade-offs, low weight paired with unusually large vestibules is the Flash Air 2's clearest strength.
