I am an avid backpacker and mountaineer. I have climbed a couple mountains in the 13-14 thousand foot range. I am climbing The Ben and a few other mountains in Scotland this winter. I use a backpacking tent and i used to bother with those light weight aluminum stakes that bend, like a palm in a hurricane, on frozen ground and rock. I grew tired of this and I bought these stakes. In short: they are ballin'. If they bend your stake should not be there. As for the weight, they feel just as lite as the cheap aluminum ones.

I bought these Kelty Nobendium II Tent Stakes as an extra set of stakes for my Kelty tent. However, tent stakes are tent stakes and these can be used with any tent. They are sturdier than the stakes which came with the tent. They can take a little banging with your hammer as long as you use reasonable care. I have been tent camping for many years and generally prefer more rustic terrain. I always carry a variety of tent stakes so that I'm not caught short. The stakes that come with most tents are sufficient when you need light holding power. I like to carry a longer and sturdier stake that can take a lot of pounding for rougher ground. These Kelty stake are a great in-the-middle medium duty tent stake.

They should really change this product's name to something like EasyBends.
These came with my $450 Kelty tent and after the third use, they're all bent out of shape. I go camping a lot in upstate New York. The first time out in the Thousand Island regions they were fine. The ground was not too hard, not too soft. Second time I went out to Higley Flow State Park near the Adirondacks foothills (terrible park, don't go there) and they weren't too bad there, the ground was a little harder. Third time I went out to the Adirondacks near Lake George and when we went to stake the tent, they all suddenly bent in weird shapes. Granted the ground was a little hard, but I'm a pretty avid camper and I know how to put in stakes. I bought the titanium stakes from Vargo to replace them. Plus, why are they pink? Couldn't they be a normal color?

Your tent will most likely include a set of "skewer" stakes. Eventually you may lose some, bend them, break them or tire of always searching for just the right location to put your stake in the ground. The only justifiable reason for Kelty to sell these is because they are better than the cheap ones that come with the tent.
The material will take more pounding, the shaft is thicker and it has sides like a pencil; this makes the stake hold in the ground better and makes it sturdier yet they don't weigh a lot.
Of course, you don't need to rush right out and replace your originals, unless you broke, bent or lost yours. Before any of those bad things happens, you should consider these if you want the best shot at securing your tent to ground under less than ideal conditions.
Best of outdoor life to you.
