“Bikepackers, light packers and peak baggers, meet our lightest 1-person yet: the REI Co-op Flash Air 1 tent. You can pitch it with its own poles—or your trekking pole—and weighs only 1 lb. 4 oz.”

To give you an answer that’s about as informative as your thread title – yes, I have some thoughts.

That’s about as light as any similar one of those kinds of tents. I suppose a lot of people would feel good about being able to go to REI for assistance with it.

@backpakerchick – Why make 2 posts on the same subject with no additional content?

Nice find on the photos Franco.

I have to be honest…that is one of the strangest little tents I have ever seen. One offset pole and a brow extension? The low triangular end vents in the bathtub floor? And those little fly wings at each end?

Will be very interested to hear from people using it.
