Distel Aluminum 3.1 Climbing Spurs with Velcro Straps
The gold standard for more than 25 years. The third evolution of the tried-and-tested aluminium climbing spurs offers maximum performance and durability. It impresses with an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Now in a brand new design.
Made in Germany
- Pole gaffs are 43mm long (about 1-3/4 inches)
- Medium gaffs are 57mm long (about 2-1/4 inches)
- Tree gaffs are 70mm long (about 2-3/4 inches)
The third evolution of the proven aluminum climbing spur offers maximum performance, durability and comfort. It impresses with an unbeatable price-performance ratio:
- Extremely light: The aluminium shaft with its 3-dimensional skeleton minimizes weight and enables hours of work without fatigue. The lightest aluminum 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.
- 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 aluminum 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 VELCRO® Brand Straps
High-quality, extra-wide lower and upper straps with Velcro® brand fasteners ensure a firm, play-free fit with optimum pressure distribution and a high level of comfort.
