Hikemax Ultralight Titanium Tent Stakes 6 Pack

- 6 V-shaped titanium, 6.3 in
- 12 g each
- Reflective cords attached
Our take
The best mix of weight, shape and visibility for a backpacking tent.
Why it made the shortlist
The Hikemax set has 6 V-shaped titanium alloy stakes that are 6.3 inches (16 cm) long and 0.42 oz (12 g) each. Reflective cords come attached, and the listing says titanium has much higher tensile strength than aluminum.
It is lighter than the 0.46 oz Ti-Vision and the 37 g AVOFOREST, and it uses a V shape instead of a thin nail to hold in a wider range of soils.
It suits backpackers who want a light, all-round stake for a solo tent or tarp. The reflective cords help you spot the pegs at night.
What works
- Light at 0.42 oz per stake
- V shape holds in many soils
- Reflective cords help at night
- Pack of 6 for a solo tent
Watch out for
- Short for loose soil
- Not a heavy-duty option
- The catch
- At 6.3 inches it will not hold well in loose sand or snow.
