REI’s Flash 18 Redefines Versatility as the Ultimate Outdoor Copilot
REI Co-op has released the Flash 18, a lightweight and adaptable daypack. Designed for simplicity, it suits everything from steep mountain hikes to urban bike rides. The pack’s versatility extends beyond typical day trips, offering practical features for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Flash 18 stands out with its minimalist approach. It lacks a built-in suspension system or external water bottle pockets, keeping the design streamlined. Despite this, the pack includes multiple exterior attachment points for securing extra gear.
One of its key features is the removable back panel. This doubles as a sitting pad, making it useful at campsites or during breaks. The pack can also be flipped inside out, transforming it into a stuff sack for backpacking trips. REI Co-op markets the Flash 18 as an affordable copilot for various activities. Whether used for summer skiing, hiking, or cycling, its adaptability makes it a practical choice for those needing a no-frills, functional pack.
The Flash 18’s design focuses on flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Its ability to convert into a stuff sack and serve as a sitting pad adds to its utility. The pack is now available for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a simple, multi-purpose daypack.
