Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Unique pegs with features that provide immense holding strength. The combination of 150mm length, 15g weight and overall strength is top class. Made with 100% recycled plastic too.

SwissPiranha says

SwissPiranha is deeply committed to improving our environmental footprint: production is in Switzerland and the raw materials used are plastics that require only a fraction of the energy of conventional aluminium. The BlackFisk line gathers tent pegs made of PiranhaREC by 100% recycled plastic – made in Switzerland!

Of course, these pegs made from recycled material offer many serious advantages over conventional metal pegs: they are ultra-light, super-safe and are protecting our environment. You can hammer them in – there are no sharp edges that damage the tent fabric. Since SwissPiranha tent pegs are completely sunk into the ground at a 90 ° angle, the risk of injury drops to zero. Dirty pegs can be cleaned in the dishwasher and worn-out BlackFisks can be recycled.

Our Verdict

SwissPiranha’s BF150 Tent Pegs have a unique design that provides immense holding power from a lightweight, plastic package. The plastic used to make these pegs is very hard and strong, the cross-shaped structure makes them very stiff and resistant to bending, Swiss Piranha describe them as “Unbreakable” but the jury’s out on that. This new BF version uses 100% recycled plastic which is obviously a huge improvement in terms of the environmental impact.

Serrated teeth at the end of the peg will provide extra grip in medium-soft ground and the next morning you might find these difficult to pull out if you’ve knocked them right the way in. Swiss Piranha do a purpose-built peg puller for just this issue. The tops of the pegs are nice and wide and this will ensure your guy or pegging point won’t jump over the top of the peg during the night.
