They hold my tent down just swell. My daugher and I were out biking all day and a pretty good storm came through. When we returned our chairs were blown over but our tent was still in place. Thanks TNF and Sunny Sports.
The North Face Tent J-Stake Set The North Face Tent J-Stake Set, is the perfect add-on to your outdoor gear. Unless your shelter is securely fixed to the ground, it may fly off during heavy winds, no matter how sturdy it is. Hence, tough stakes are required to securely fix the tent to the ground. Made from extremely durable aluminum, these stakes are strong to withstand strong winds. Weighing only 4 oz, the stakes are lightweight, but sturdy enough to remain firmly fixed to the ground. They work perfectly well on all kinds of terrain, whether it is a hard surface or a snowy one. The stakes come in a pack of eight, so you have plenty to hold your tent in place. With a length of 6.25 in., these stakes are long enough to penetrate deep into the ground. With the North Face Tent J-Stake Set, camping just got safer!

What is the difference between small and medium? Length?
CHRIS C
The overall size is different in all respects. I generally use the small stakes on 3 person tents and smaller and the medium stakes on 4 person tents and larger. If you're concerned about weight at all, the small ones can do everything the medium ones can, so you can shave weight on even larger tents if needed... They are nearly the same in size though, it's not a huge difference either way.

Chri,
I have the Rock 22 2 person tent does that make a diff..
CHRIS C
Eric, I would recommend the smaller stakes for that tent unless you will be somewhere with higher winds... Any wind issues, go with the larger ones.
