Field notes
Field notes
- The same Y-beam design used in the popular MSR Groundhog. We've taken that proven shape and pushed the spec further with 7A04 alloy, removing every gram that isn't doing a job.
- No pull cord, because you don't need one. Use a guyline loop to hook the peg out when buried deep, or use ULguyline cord as a dedicated extractor line.
- After the absolute lightest option? See the ULpeg Carbon Fibre.

Proven Y-beam design. Ultralight aluminium. Nothing wasted.
The ULpeg aluminium is an 8g tent peg machined from 7A04 aluminium alloy — a high-grade aerospace-spec material chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The curved Y-profile distributes load across three fins, giving you the hold of a much heavier peg at a fraction of the weight.
The same Y-beam design is used in the popular MSR Groundhog — we've taken that proven shape and pushed the spec further with 7A04 alloy, removing every gram that isn't doing a job.
At 15cm long, it handles everything from soft forest soil to compacted trail ground. No pull cord — because you don't need one. Use a guyline loop to hook it out when buried deep, or pick up our ULguyline cord as a dedicated extractor line.
A no-nonsense peg for hikers who want real holding power without carrying unnecessary weight.

Why hikers switch to ULgear
Light where it counts. Honest where it matters.
The ULgear way
- Honest weights — the listed weight is the weighed weight
- Better materials, sized smaller and lighter
- Small-batch made in Scotland
- Field-tested on real UK trails
Typical outdoor gear
- "Marketing" weights, quietly rounded down
- Cheaper materials made big and chunky to survive
- Mass-produced, never actually weighed
- Tested in a spreadsheet

Made by two pals who got a bit too into it
ULgear started with two of us from West Lothian weighing our kit, then each other's, then making the gear we couldn't buy. Small batches, honest weights, tested wherever in Scotland we've got a free weekend.
