Ultralight stakes have never been so smart. Airpin's three-point locking system holds cord tight and eliminates the need for knots, cord locks or guyout tensioners. The tapered geometry is ideal for driving into the ground and the 7075 aluminum offers superior strength for its minimal weight.

Just a little bendy
great light weight option, but still bent easier than I would have hoped.

Minimalism and quality at it's finest
I purchased the Nemo Airpins because I wanted to lighten the weight of my stakes without sacrificing durability. I primarily hike in the White Mountains where the rocky soil can bend those ultralight candy-cane style titanium stakes. I steered clear of the nail-style pegs because, while they are light, they tend to be made of two-to-three components (head, body and sometimes a separate tip) that are glued or swaged together and I did not want to mess with a stake that could fail at the joint (the ground is not a forgiving medium when jabbing into it). My preference is the single-piece three-sided Y-Beam style aluminum stakes because you can stomp them into the ground with confidence and they come in handy as an eating utensil when your friend forgets their spork. But, they are not as light or compact as the Airpins. The Airpins, I am happy to say, have come with me on multiple trips between NH and ME this summer and have satisfied all my needs. They are barely noticeable in my pack, they take up very little space and are light as heck. They have held securely in the soil overnight and in the morning, when breaking camp, they are easier to clean dirt off of compared to the y-beam style stakes (which can take a while to clean off). If you are looking to lighten your pack and do not want to sacrifice durability, these lime-green stakes will delight you.

One of the better tent stakes I have used
The stakes have stayed out and the design for securing the cord is clever and makes securing the tent quick and easy. Very lite weight.

So light yet with solid holding power
I am replacing all of my tent stakes - with the exception of sand and snow - with the Airpin ultralight stakes. These things are so light, yet sturdy and well designed enough to avoid bending when they're being driven into the ground. The only downside is that they're a little bit expensive - but they're well worth it!

Perfect
Amazingly light and easy to use. I pounded these into a really hard dirt surface and they did awesome. they held the angle that I put them in at which allowed me to get a very taut rainfly setup.

Perfect for my Poncho Tarp Setup
Finally got my hands on the new Nemo Airpin tent stakes. I was mainly interested in using them in my Poncho tarp setup. I think they are the perfect answer to have a simple and lightweight setup for my MyTrail Poncho.

too short?
Great idea - love the look, feel, weight, self locking mechanism...but why only 6"? Too short to keep firmly in ground. 8" would have been better IMO
