ART Distel 3 Click Aluminum Tree Climbing Spurs / Spikes with AMERICAN LONG Gaffs

The Distel Alu 3.1 Classic tree climbing spikes are particularly lightweight yet very robust. The shaft is hot-forged, shot-blasted, and anodised. Additionally, it features rubber ribs on the underside for a firm grip on the ground. The forces are optimally directed into the spike and thus into the trunk. The comfortable, padded plastic cups are height-adjustable in 1/4 inch increments (approximately 6 mm) on the shaft, allowing for a perfect fit on the leg. The Velcro strap at the top (105 mm) and the lower robust synthetic leather straps from Weaver ensure a secure, play-free, and comfortable fit. The PTFE coating on the spikes protects against corrosion and ensures that the spike easily releases from the wood.

• Weight with medium American spike: 1,080g

Distel Spurs with Leather Straps
The third evolution of Distel aluminum climbers comes with a newly designed, hot-forged shank:

– 10% lighter, 50 grams each, than the previous version realized by optimized cross section and using a stronger alloy.
– Anti-slip ribs on the bottom of the stirrup and 3-dimensional forging details.
– Blasted surface for highest possible bending fatigue strength together with a scratch-resistant black polymer anodization results in a satin matt finish.

Pads 2020

The 2020 pad for all Distel climbers features the following improvements:
– Additional padding for the shin and calf is provided with a foam plate that is 50% larger. The 2020 pad 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.
– Increased thickness of the foam of 2 cm.
