Stakes worked well in a lot of different ground types. Rocky or sandy or bushes always seemed to find a way to set up my tent and they held all night. Very strong too. Haven’t bent any even though I did hit a few rocks.

– Jeremy S., ★★★★★

These are the lightest weight stakes you can get with reasonable holding power and durability. Titanium is very light and strong for its weight, but some care should be exercised to prevent bending. Thin stakes like these are easier to press into moderately firm soil compared to thicker stakes. You will want to use rocks to weigh them down in loose soil or in windy conditions.

They have an orange head, which makes them harder to lose.

Easy to place into all terrain. Great holding capability.

– Zee S., ★★★★★

Increased surface area make these Carbon Fiber Stakes a great choice for soft terrain. Made with a Carbon Fiber shaft with a metal tip and metal end cap, these stakes have the best holding power to weight ratio of any of the stakes we carry. These stakes have an orange cord through the end to make them easy to see and easy to pull out of the ground.

The thick diameter allows them to grip the ground better than thin titanium. These are excellent in loose soil, and they have also proven to be very functional in typical dirt. On packed ground or on bedrock lay them sideways and anchor with rocks.

These are the only stakes that can reliably be carried through airport security. We have carried these stakes through US airport security a dozen times with no issues. Our experience with metal stakes is they are confiscated about half the time. Please report if you have any trouble with these.

This large patch is useful for bigger reinforcements and repairs. Cut it to size, peel off the brown paper backing, then stick it where you want it.

The adhesive sticks excellently to any of our Dyneema® Composite Fabric products such as shelters, stuff sacks, or dry bags. It also sticks excellently to the interior of our Hybrid DCF backpacks and our Ultra Fabric backpacks. It sticks OK to the polyurethane coating on the interior of our Robic backpacks. It will not stick to any silicone coated fabrics..

I have used many different brands of titanium wire stakes and find these to be the best quality.

– Steve H., ★★★★★

Perfect for those hikers who need a little more strength and durability. These stakes are a little longer and thicker than our 6” ultralight titanium tent stakes. They have a little more grip and are less susceptible to bending. These stakes are easier to press into packed or frozen ground compared to larger stakes. Since these are ultralight stakes, It is better to press them into the ground rather than hammering. Use rocks to anchor them in high wind.

They have a red head, which makes them harder to lose.

Super light weight with great holding power especially in loose soil. I keep a few in my stake bag for extra reassurance

– Josh N., ★★★★★

This item has been discontinued due to bending. 7" Super Sonic Stakes are a stronger alternative.

From soft sand to snow, the Titanium V Stakes are a great option when you need a little more stability. These V-shaped stakes are made from ultralight and ultra strong titanium. This broad stake is designed to grip loose soil and hold better in the wind compared to thinner stakes. If the ground is too firm, turn them sideways and anchor them with a rock. Although these are pretty strong, they can be bent in half if you lean your body weight on them too hard.

In windy territory you may want a full set. For normal conditions save weight with lighter stakes, and maybe add just one or two of these for additional anchors on windy nights.

These have a red-coated end, which makes them easy to see and a red cord to make them easier to pull out of the ground.

Reliable, stays securely in ground. Peace of mind, especially in bad weather.

– Cheryl R., ★★★★★

These Y-Beam stakes are the largest and strongest that we have. The 7-inch length and large diameter give them excellent holding power.

These are difficult to bend. They are strong enough to withstand being hammered or pounded with a rock, however the top end may get chewed up so we would still recommend avoiding hammering. If the ground is too firm, turn them sideways and anchor them with a rock.

These are bright blue, which makes them hard to lose.  They have a cord on the end to make it easy to pull them out of the ground.

Fantastic product and absolute freedom for the minimalist hiker. I added some Zpacks stick on hang loops on the inside for a mosquito net and it’s golden. Highly recommended.

This patch is made from clear 1.6 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric material, with adhesive tape on the back. Peel off the brown paper backing and stick it where you want it.

We use these to reinforce the peaks of our tents, and they can also be cut into wedges for tie outs or repairs.

These stick excellent to Dyneema® Composite Fabric gear, but they will not stick to silicone fabrics. The adhesive will stick OK to normal nylon or polyester.

Great tarp. Extremely light. Easy to set up to a simple A frame style tent using trekking poles or trees with a little cordage. Simplicity at its finest!

The RovyVon Aurora A5 is the minimalist headlamp that ultralight hikers have been dreaming of.  The A5 can be clipped to a hat brim for hands free night hiking or reading, or toggle to lantern mode to light up your whole tent with red or white light.

The clip can also connect to our clasp lock trekking poles to light up the ground when night hiking, or to light up your tent when the trekking pole is used as a tent support.

The clip is magnetic and can be stuck to our magnet tent door toggles on tent models that have them, or to other metal surfaces.

The RovyVon A5 features a 330mAh battery with USB-C charging.

Zpacks joined forces with Adotec to offer a seriously tough, grizzly bear-resistant bag for thru-hikers who count every ounce while refusing to sacrifice safety. The Adotec bag is the lightest bear-resistant food bag on the market for it’s capacity. It is crafted from woven Dyneema® Fabric with a waterproof coating, and is backed by rigorous IGBC certification (#245493).

This bag is as lightweight as it can be while still shrugging off claws, bites, and brutal terrain. Whether you’re trekking through grizzly country or just want peace of mind from rodents, racoons and other critters that would happily gobble your your trail snacks, this is next-level food protection without the bulk.

Tie the bag around a tree using a figure-8 knot to ensure that bears can't walk off with your food.

Had high expectations of this case given Zpacks pedigree but still exceeded easily - crazy light, simple yet super-intelligent design, incredibly easy to use.

Our Airplane Travel Case is a useful addition for the jetsetting adventurer looking to blaze international trails. Slide your backpack inside to protect it when checking your backpack on to a plane. When you arrive, move the airplane case to the inside of your backpack and it doubles as a pack liner.

This size will fit typical backpacks up to about 60-70L with all items removed from the exterior pockets. We also have an XL Airplane Case with extra space for items in the exterior pockets or beside your pack.

Meet the Alpenblow — the tiny trail luxury you didn’t know you needed. Weighing less than two nickels, this pocket-sized powerhouse plugs into your phone or power bank and quietly inflates your pad in just a few minutes. Save your lungs and avoid the dizzying chore of manually inflating your sleeping pad after a long day of hiking. 

It sips less than 1% of your iPhone battery, or a quarter of a percent of a 10,000 mAh power bank. Multiple nozzles are included to fit popular pads.

Why leave behind a graveyard of half-filled canisters when you can combine them all with a gadget that weighs less than a penny? Born on the PCT in 2023, the Alpenflow lets you swap, share, or consolidate fuel like a pro. Borrow from a hiker box, split with a buddy, or finally finish off that pile of canisters in your garage. You can also portion off small amounts of fuel into a small empty canister so that you aren't carrying more than you need for short trips.

Super light and extremely roomy for a 6'2" person! Sets up very quickly and durably minimalistic! In essence perfect!!

The Altaplex Tent is a larger, taller version of our popular Plex Solo Tent. It is designed for hikers who enjoy the simplicity of a single pole shelter but require more space.

Our Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles will adjust to the minimum required 56" (142 cm) height, and we also have 58" Tent Poles, our Carbon Fiber Staff, or a Trekking Pole Jack if your preferred trekking pole is not long enough.

Our Pivot Solo Tent is another good choice for extra head and foot room with bells and whistles like magnet toggles and zipper storm doors.

Lightweight and gets the job done. On of my favorite sites in Maine uses platforms and now I don't need to bring my heavier free standing tent.

– Neil D., ★★★★★

From the White Mountains to the Overland Track, these ultralight aluminum tent platform anchors allow you to easily stake out your tent on wooden platforms.

Attach your guyline's stake loop to these with a lark's head knot, wedge the anchor between the platform planks and then tighten down the guyline to hold it tight.

These are bright blue, which makes them hard to lose.

Don’t limit your adventure to just the water you can carry. Treat up to 30 gallons (120 Liters) of water on trail with Aquamira Droplets. These droplets work by producing chlorine dioxide which kills germs and bacteria in water. The two bottles weigh a combined 3 ounces when full making this a lightweight and compact solution to your water needs.

Net weight: 2 fluid ounces
