Distel Carbon 3.1 Climbing Spurs / Spikes - Leather Straps

The most ergonomic and lightest tree climbing spurs on the market. • Light as a feather: The carbon material minimizes weight and enables hours of work without fatigue. • Ergonomic design: The forward offset and angled shaft provides an optimized fit. Combined with the extra wide 1.85" base, the result is maximum comfort. • Incomparable stability: Maximum load-bearing capacity and durability, even under the toughest conditions, thanks to a ductile and robust polycarbonate matrix. High break resistance thanks to unidirectional carbon fibres. • Well protected: A Vibram® rubber sole on the underside of the shaft protects the carbon and ensures a firm 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 with available spare parts for easy upkeep, 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" 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 Classic straps with upper VELCRO® Brand straps: The lower classic straps are not called classic straps for nothing. They are made from extremely durable, waterproof and robust coated webbing. Made in the USA from BioThane® material, this strap is extremely resistant to resin and sawdust and can easily withstand the daily rigors of tree care. High-quality, extra-wide upper straps with Velcro® brand fasteners ensure a firm, play-free fit with optimum pressure distribution and a high level of comfort.
