Beschreibung
Weight is the only luxury that cannot be faked. A tent stake that saves eight grams sounds like a rounding error until it is multiplied by eight stakes, carried for eleven kilometres, and added to a pack that already feels heavier than it did at the trailhead. Titanium earns its price here not through marketing but through a property no aluminium alloy can match at this thickness: it bends and returns instead of snapping.
These stakes are 3.0 mm in diameter and 165 mm long, formed from titanium alloy with a hooked head that takes a guy line without a separate loop of cord. The profile is thin enough to drive into compacted ground and the hook seats the line at a fixed angle, so tension stays where you set it overnight. At roughly a third of the weight of equivalent steel pegs, the set of eight costs less than a hundred grams in the pack - a category of object you stop noticing, which is exactly the point.
The colour option is not decoration. Anodised finishes make the stakes findable at dusk and in long grass, which matters more than aesthetics when you are pulling camp at first light. Everything else is left deliberately plain: no plastic caps to lose, no welded joints to fail, no coating to chip off into the ground.
Eighty grams of metal that refuses to fail. The best equipment is the equipment you forget you are carrying.
Key Features
- ✦ Set of eight 165 mm titanium alloy stakes, 3.0 mm shaft diameter
- ✦ Roughly one third the weight of equivalent steel pegs
- ✦ Integrated hook head that holds a guy line without extra cord
- ✦ Bends and returns under load rather than snapping like aluminium
- ✦ Anodised colour options for visibility in grass and low light
- ✦ No plastic caps, welded joints, or coatings to fail in the field
- ✦ Thin 3.0 mm profile drives into compacted and stony ground
- ✦ Corrosion-proof - salt air and wet ground leave titanium unchanged

Where It Belongs
These are the stakes for people who walk in rather than drive in. Ultralight backpacking, bikepacking, alpine bivouacs, and fast overnighters where every item in the pack has to justify its weight. They also suit kayak and packraft camping, where salt water would corrode a steel peg within a season and titanium simply does not react. On a car-camping trip they are overkill - but they are also the stakes that survive being borrowed, dropped, and driven into ground that would bend a cheaper peg into scrap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will they hold in wind?
A: In compact soil, yes - the hook keeps line tension fixed and the shaft depth is adequate for three-season use. In exposed ridge camping, add a second stake per guy line or bury the peg sideways as a deadman anchor.
Q: Do they bend?
A: They flex under load and return to shape. Severe bends from hammering into rock can be straightened by hand once, but repeated abuse work-hardens the metal and it will eventually fail at the bend point.
Q: How do I drive them in?
A: Push by hand where possible. If the ground resists, use a small rock on the head or the flat of a boot heel - never a steel hammer directly on the titanium head.
Q: Are they really worth the price over aluminium?
A: If you carry them for more than a few kilometres, yes. The weight saving is measurable and the failure mode is bending rather than snapping, which means a bent stake can still be used.
Q: Can I use them in sand?
A: Not effectively. A 3.0 mm shaft has too little surface area for loose sand. Carry two wide-profile sand pegs if a beach camp is on the plan.
Q: Will the anodised colour wear off?
A: It wears gradually at the hook where the line rubs. That is cosmetic only - titanium does not corrode, so the stake stays structurally identical with or without its colour.
