The Sierra Designs Flash 2 tent is extra roomy and ultralight thanks to new ExoFusion technology. This setup combines an external pitch with integrated fly to speed setup and increase interior space.

ExoFusion shelters utilize an external frame combined with hybrid single and double wall panels; since there's no separate fly to fuss with, the setup is easy and quick
Integration of the rainfly means the tent is protected during setup; the inner body of the tent won't get soaked since there's no separate rainfly to attach
Well-ventilated comfort: the exterior skeleton/hybrid wall construction allows effective vent placement and airflow planning that isn't possible with traditional construction
Less material saves weight: exterior skeleton/hybrid wall construction also allows double walls where necessary and single walls otherwise
D-shape doors on the Sierra Designs Flash 2 provide roomy access; 2 vestibules provide separate storage areas
Light yet strong, DAC Featherlite® NSL poles are anodized without the use of harmful acids
Hub/pole design reduces the possibility of pitching errors and aids in the speed of the pitch
Jake's Feet™ corner anchor system locks poles in place during setup and aids in tensioning out the floor
Taped rainfly seams and a seam-sealed floor offer weatherproof protection
Reflective door trim and guyouts aid nighttime visibility of tent
Mesh windows have closeable flaps to prevent weather from creeping in
Includes stuff sacks, guylines, tent stakes, user guide and setup instructions

Comments about Sierra Designs Flash 2 Tent:

Like some of the other reviewers I bought this tent with the intended use of shorter backpacking trips and weekend camp outs.
- It's super easy to setup.
- The layout/floor size is great and will actually fit 2 adults, not like a few other 2 person tents I tried.
- The ventilation is great. (Which could be a con for some.)
- Once it's staked out, the tent is very stable in any winds I'd like to camp in.

One Con on intial setup was the Ball Cap connectors at the ends of the ridge pole. They can be a real pain as there isn't enough slack in the fly to connect them. But it seems to have gotten a bit easier after a few setups.

Bottom line is that it's a great tent for my intended purpose and I highly recommend it.

Comments about Sierra Designs Flash 2 Tent:

I bought this tent to use on shorter backpack trips under 10 miles each way. The design is very good but I would not use at the beach where it can get very cold and or misty because it could be cold and damp. Otherwise it will be excellent roomy, fairly light tent. I really like being able to sit up and actually move around without having my head and face pushed into the mesh like in a seed house 1 that I own as well. Set up looks easy but it takes a lot of effort to get the main pole attached to he roof ends and I am pretty strong.
