Distel Aluminium 3.1 Climbing Spurs / Spikes - Click Buckles

The third evolution of the proven aluminium climbing spur offers maximum performance, durability and comfort. It impresses with an unbeatable price-performance ratio: • Extremely light: The aluminium shank with its 3-dimensional skeleton minimizes weight and enables hours of work without fatigue. The lightest aluminium climbing spur on the market. • Robust: Extremely strong and durable, even under the toughest conditions, thanks to hot-forged aluminium with an optimized cross-section and stronger alloy. • Maximum power transmission: The straight shank optimally transmits the force applied. • Full grip: Anti-slip ribs on the underside of the shank provide grip on branches. • Sustainably produced: State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, short and preferably regional supply chains, fair working conditions in a German production facility and a high-quality, durable product ensure the smallest possible ecological footprint. Pads Plus • Additional padding for the shin and calf is provided with a foam plate that is 50% larger than its predecessor. The Pads Plus encloses almost the entire leg. • An optimal fit in the shell and ultimately on the user’s leg is achieved by a grid structure of the pad. • The grid structure leads to a punctual pressure distribution, which gives the user an increased subjective feeling of comfort. • 0.8" (20 mm) thick foam cushions every pressure point and impact. Gaffs with black Teflon (PTFE) coating • High-quality steel precision casting from southern Germany. • Special heat treatment that creates a structure with an excellent compromise between hardness and toughness. • Rockwell C hardness (HRC): 50 • PTFE is widely known as Teflon, a highly developed plastic that drastically reduces friction and breakaway torques, e.g. in aluminium sockets. Easier release of the gaff from the wood saves force and stress. • Pre-sharpened, extremely sharp gaffs are ready for immediate use. Lower and upper Click-Buckles-Straps Cobra® click buckles from AustriAlpin on the lower and upper straps allow the climbers to be put on and taken off quickly. In combination with VELCRO® brand Velcro® fasteners, the result is a firm, play-free fit. Once adjusted, off you go. The gold standard for more than 25 years.
