Sierra Designs has challenged conventional wisdom as it relates to shelters and has come up with new configurations to bring you the only tents on the market that keep you organized and comfortable even in the worst conditions. Proudly non-freestanding and worthy of its legendary name, the 2014 Flashlight 2 is the ultimate backpacking tent for those who believe that comfort and lightweight shouldn't be mutually exclusive. Replacing a legend isn't easy. But with more livable space and equal weight, we have. Features individual doors for each occupant that allows for easy entry and exit for maximum livability. Unprecedented cross ventilation for superior condensation management. Defined footprint with only 6 stake outs makes for the easiest set up of any tarp tent ever made and eliminates "restaking" associated with most tarp tents and trekking pole shelters. The Flashlight 2 is trekking pole compatible and will save a valuable 6oz by using your trekking poles and leaving the 46" vertical poles behind. This reduces minimum weight to less than 3.5lbs, making this the largest and most livable tent in its weight class. Finally, the gear closet gives you gear storage where it should be, away from the door and can be toggled closed or left open for additional venting while still staying dry in a rainstorm. Minimum Weight: 3lbs, 6oz (w/out 46" poles). Packed Weight: 3lb, 12oz. Interior Area: 30 square ft. Closet Area: 3.3 square ft. (both sides). - Awning design surpasses the vestibule as a lighter, smarter form of weather protection at the tent entrance
- Bigger and lighter hybrid design maximizes space efficiency by reducing redundant material which means less weight and more room in the tent
- One-piece pitching is easier, faster and always protects the tent interior from the elements
- The wide drop door design is large enough for two to sit side by side, yet with only one zipper, its lighter than the double-entrance vestibule
- The mesh hybrid walls provide maximum airflow through all sides of the tent
