The Zpacks 6.4″ Carbon Fibre Stake weighs just 6.2 grams, yet it has a chunky 7.5 mm diameter. That gives it more hold in loose ground than the usual thin titanium stakes. The metal tip means this lightweight stake survives harder ground without damage, and the orange pull cord makes it easier to find again in tall grass and fading light.
Possibly handy if you travel with just your backpack as hand luggage. Zpacks tells us these stakes generally pass through carry-on security fine, where metal stakes often get confiscated and these reportedly don’t (still always a risk, of course). Zpacks have taken them through US security dozens of times without trouble.
