Customer reviews
What customers say: This ultralight pack is praised for its comfortable fit, impressive capacity, and overall lightweight feel, making it great for multi-day trips. Some reviewers note the absence of an integrated rain cover.
★★★★☆
Solid lightweight option
This Flash 55 is a very capable pack for anyone trying to cut down on gear weight. The hip belt pockets are a nice addition and easily accessible while hiking. My only minor gripe is the lack of a dedicated spot for trekking poles that feels completely secure, but it’s manageable. Overall, a comfortable and well-designed pack for fast-and-light adventures, especially with the recycled material.
★☆☆☆☆
No rain cover
I was really disappointed to find out this backpack doesn't come with an integrated rain cover. For a pack designed for backpacking, I expected that to be standard. Now I have to buy one separately and hope it fits.

My new favorite
Replaced my heavier 65L pack with this Flash 55, and the weight difference is immediately noticeable. I was skeptical about the capacity at first, but it holds everything for a multi-day trip if you pack smart. The hydration sleeve easily fits my 3L bladder, and the recycled nylon feels surprisingly durable for how light it is. Very happy with this purchase.

So light!
This pack felt like nothing even when fully loaded for a long weekend trip.
