The Cheapest Ultralight Tent (R.E.I. Flash Air 1 Review)

In this REI Co-Op Flash Air 1 review, I share my own experiences from using this tent for the last six months. I've slept in the Flash Air 1 in Norway, Finland, Latvia, and Spain. Mostly I use it for camping in the mountains. As far as I can tell, currently, it's the cheapest ultralight tent that you can get, with other options priced two or even three times as expensive. It's got some flaws, like bad condensation and it's pretty hard to set up, but I can deal with that because my main priorities are the weight and price. In dry climates or higher up in the mountains, the condensation isn't really that big of an issue.
