1. V-Peg
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. •16cm/6.3"•11g/0.4oz•Setof10•
2. Y-Peg
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. • 18 cm/7.1" • 16 g/0.6 oz • Set of 10 •
3. Y-Peg UL
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. • 14 cm/5.5" • 9 g/0.3 oz • Set of 10 •
4. Stinger Titanium
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. •16cm/6.3"•14g/0.5oz•Setof6•
5. X-Peg
So-named for its fluted square cross-section, our 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. • 30 cm/12" • 78 g/2.8 oz • Set of 10 •
6. Snow & Sand Peg
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. A carrying bag, made from our XP bag material (see Tent & Accessory Bags) is included. • 31 cm x 3 cm/12.2" x 1.2" • 50 g/1.8 oz • Set of 6 •
