    Details

    Developed for all arborists who value maximum comfort, lightness and quality. The shaft from the renowned DMM forge impresses with its ergonomic design on all levels:

    • Maximum comfort: the forward offset and angled aluminium shaft offers an optimized ergonomic fit. Combined with the ultra-wide 1.77" (45 mm) footbridge, the load is distributed evenly under the midfoot, making even longer standing times possible.
    • Extremely light: The aluminium shaft minimizes weight and enables hours of work without fatigue.
    • Durable: Premium anodizing from DMM protects the aluminium from corrosion even under the toughest conditions 
    • Well protected: The Vibram® rubber sole on the underside of the shaft protects the aluminum 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 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 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.

    Classic German Quality!

    I've had these spurs for about ten months now and they're fantastic! Lightweight and VERY well made! I like that you can get replacement parts for these as well. Once you use Distel spurs you'll never want to use anything else!

    Happy knees

    I like these, comfortable for long climbs. I was skeptical of the lower strap system but I actually prefer it over the traditional straps or the click straps. The only problem is the tapered shank can allow the provided Johnny covers to slip down and expose the spur. Not a big deal to me.

    Distel DMM

    I was on the fence about getting new pads for my old buckingham steel gaffs or just buying these. I'm glad I went with these Distel spurs. Very lightweight, secure, and seem well made. The Velcro top keeps everything locked in. The back Velcro strap is sort of a pain to adjust I wish it was how the top strap is, how it has a sinch loop. But to be fair it's meant to set it and forget it. The pads are thick and and you can adjust the height. I wear loggers when wearing these and they lock in to the heel great. Overall pretty comfortable piece of gear at a reasonable price. (At least now days. )
