Very light yet very strong, our V-Peg is made from hardened aluminum, and it has specifically engineered thick yet light spine and sides to prevent bending. Its "V" cross section provides a fine balance of penetration in hard ground and holding capability in looser soil. Anodized a highly visible gold, the V-peg also has an integrated string loop for easy removal from the ground.

Our Y-Peg is exceptionally strong yet quite lightweight, and its "Y" profile gives both excellent penetration in hard ground and plenty of surface area for reliable hold in softer conditions. Both because of its shape and its durable, hardened aluminum body, the sturdy Y-Peg can be hammered into hard ground. Its bright, gold anodized color makes it easy to see, and an attached string loop provides for easy removal.

Our lightest peg, the new, hardened aluminum Y-Peg UL has a “Y” cross-section similar to our Y-Peg, but in a smaller (and lighter) package. While not quite as robust as the larger Y-Peg, it offers a great balance of hard ground penetration and soft ground holding power. Its gold anodizing makes it highly visible, and the attached string loop makes it easier to pull it from the ground.

Made from solid Titanium, the super strong yet lightweight Stinger can easily handle being pounded into hard ground, and its integrated string loop makes for easy removal.

So-named for its fluted square cross-section, our new X-Peg is built from extruded, then anodized, aluminum, and is designed to take on the most demanding usage. The X-peg’s 30 cm (12 in) length and burly construction make it an ideal option when you need maximum penetration and holding power in hard ground, and it is stout enough to be hammered into the ground, even with a light sledge. An open, upside down “L” hook near the top of the peg allows quick securing of guy lines, and a separate closed ring has an attached string loop to make removing the peg easier.

With its three-finned "Y" cross-section and 24 cm (9.4 in) length, the robust new Y-Peg XL offers maximum strength, hard ground penetration and soft ground hold in a remarkably lightweight package. Its hardened aluminum body is rugged enough for demanding use and for repeated hammering into rocky ground, and its bright gold anodized color and attached cord loop make it easy to see and to retrieve.

Lightweight, tough and remarkably versatile, our Snow & Sand pegs are unique. After finding most so-called snow pegs to be too soft – they would bend in any but the fluffiest snow – we developed our own. Made from hardened aluminum, our Snow Pegs are built to withstand both very hard usage, including the inevitable contact with shovels, crampons and other winter gear, and very hard snow. At the same time, they are remarkably lightweight. The integrated line and hook gives you the flexibility either to bury the peg sideways in snow or sand, Deadman style, or to use it in a traditional, upright fashion.

What poles do I have?

The 19.5 mm Tarp Pole is a simple, lightweight pole designed for use with our Tarps and other shelters such as our Mesh Box 10 and 20. The two-section Tarp Pole can extend from 124 cm (49 in) to 210 cm (82.5 in) in 5 cm (2 in) increments, thanks to extensions that slide out from each end and lock into place with spring-loaded buttons. It folds down to approximately 66 cm (26 in), and it boasts a reversible, screw-in tip that can be used with fabric pockets (such as on the Altai), or with rings or loops (as on the Tarps).

Produced by DAC, our long-time partner and tent pole supplier, our poles are great for hiking and also work seamlessly with our Anaris, Tarps, Mesh Tent 1, Mesh Boxes and Mesh Ridge. Our poles are built with DAC’s impressively strong TH72M aluminum, and they extend from 90 cm (35.5 in) to 145 cm (57 in) and collapse fully to 65 cm (25.5 in). Adjustment comes from easy-to-use and very secure double-cam Lever Locks. At longer lengths, they are ideal for the Anaris and Tarp 10, or for the front of the Tarp 5 or Mesh Tent 1. When fully collapsed, they are perfect for the back of both the Tarp 5 and the Mesh Tent 1. Our trekking poles also come with removable rubber tips for use on rocky terrain.
