The Flash is a non freestanding tent, which means it relies heavily on its guyout points for stability, but also the use of trekking poles. It is considered a 3 season tent. The flash air is REI’s lightest weight tent to date, which attracts the ultralight backpacking crowd.
The Flash has a unique and rugged design that looks really cool once it is set up. Many tents today are made with bright and colorful fabrics, but the Flash goes for a more traditional design and color scheme, making it a decent option for stealth camping or if you just like a more natural look for your tent.
