Distel DMM Pads Plus Climbing Spurs with Classic Straps

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 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.
