Specifically the Defiant ones - can they bend like normal metal pegs if you force them into harder ground or will they stay straight because titanium is so much stronger?
Appreciate the high price but I'd buy a few just to not end up with a load of wonky pegs!
Cheers

I will bud.
But, I'd still like to hear from a few who have used them week in week out rather than do my right bollock on some only to bend them first time out 😬

I'd like to know the answer.
Not wishing to pre-empt Kieth but titanium is as hard as steel but as light as aluminium. It's used where lightness is required but the strength of steel is also a factor. It is also not prone to rusting.
So bottom line is if you are heavy handed ( or put pegs in with your foot) and have bent steel pegs before then you will also bend titanium.
It is strong and light but not foolproof

I have them and they are a work of art, light and absolutely indestructible

Titanium is 60% lighter than steel, but 60% heavier than Aluminium. It's the strength to weight ratio that makes it preferable for some uses. If lightness is the main criteria then Aluminium would be preferable.

No.1 objective for me is having pegs that don't bend and if I'm going to buy 10-15 of these I'd like.to make sure they won't 🙂.
My brolly only has two pegging points so weight won't be an issue and if I'm taking a bivvy it'll be on the barrow so again not about weight.
The alternative is just having a stash of normal bivvy pegs and swap them out as they bend

Not titanium but these pegs are last a lifetime....................I have stamped them into rock hard ground many times. These pegs don't bend. Only problem is when you lose one.

These look good. People keep mentioning losing them - I never seem to lose the bloody bent ones! I also notice that it's new pegs that are more prone to bending. I have some old Trakker ones that whilst rusted a little, are bombproof.
For me, I am looking at this as I am storm poles: am fed up with inferior supplied accessories, I want one quality set of storm poles and pegs that I can use regardless of the shelter I opt to use for a trip. Keeps things a little more straightforward and with limited time / setting up + packing up I the dark - it matters.

I have a set and managed to bend one.

I've had a set of them since they first came out (probably 12 years at least) never bent one yet.

Thanks everyone, tbf I thought titanium would be stronger than steel. So as they aren't, them top notch ones could be just the ticket.
