WHAT WE THINK
After using the Durston Gear DAC Pegs on several hikes through Snowdonia and along the South Downs Way, we can confidently say these pegs are an essential part of our ultralight camping setup.
When we camped in Snowdonia, where the terrain can vary from rocky ground to softer, boggy areas, the DAC Pegs performed admirably. Their sharp, tapered tips made them easy to drive into tough soil, even in the dense, rocky sections. And despite the hard conditions, they didn’t bend or break, which impressed us. We also used them along the South Downs Way, where the ground is often softer, and the pegs still held our tent securely, even in wetter conditions.
Finally, one drawback we’ve noticed is that the small diameter of the pegs can sometimes make them difficult to retrieve from the ground, especially in harder soil. If you're not careful, you might need to use a small tool or rock to help pry them out, which can be a bit frustrating after a long day. Despite this, the Durston Gear DAC Pegs have proven to be reliable, durable, and lightweight—exactly what we need for hikes through challenging terrains like Snowdonia or along the South Downs Way. If you're looking for high-quality pegs that won't weigh you down, they’re definitely worth considering.
