We published a First Look at the Flash Air 1 here.

Today, we released a more detailed review that includes an assessment of condensation performance, livability, and more.

I almost purchased one but REI was out of stock after the order went through, so it got cancelled. I’m 5’11” 160lb and after seeing the livability for you needing 4″ less, I’m glad the tent was out of stock. Got a Tarptent Notch Li 2020 instead (yeah, very different price range) and based on a local camping in the rain trail run I’m very pleased with it. Thanks for the amazingly thorough review. That level of quality demonstrates the value of my subscription.

Ha! A cantilevered horizontal peak! That’s a pretty interesting design.

Thanks for the very thorough overview and review videos. I would love to see a review like this of the Gossamer Gear The One tent.
