Product information & specifications
EDELRID TALON Tree Climbers
The EDELRID TALON Tree Climbers are among the lightest, most ergonomic climbing gaffs on the market. Engineered around the natural shape of the human leg, the TALON delivers exceptional comfort, precision and stability for professional arborists working at height, certified to ASTM F887-16.
Available in two gaff lengths (43mm and 70mm), they're in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Edelrid dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Every component has been purpose-selected to maximise strength while minimising weight, making it a top-tier choice for daily climbing, dismantling and technical tree work. A fully ventilated padding system improves breathability on long climbs, while the unique three-direction lower binding ensures a secure and custom fit on a wide range of boots. All textile components can be removed, washed or replaced, helping extend the service life of your climbers and keeping them performing like new.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-light, ergonomic design shaped to the human leg for superior comfort
- Durable steel construction with optimised material distribution for strength and low weight
- Ventilated mesh padding for improved airflow during long climbs
- Three-directional lower binding system for a precise, locked-in boot fit
- Easy-to-remove textile components for washing or replacement
- Certified to ASTM F887-16 for high-level fall protection standards
- Available in two gaff lengths: 43mm (short) and 70mm (long)
- Made in Germany with premium manufacturing quality
Technical Details
Why Choose the Edelrid TALON?
Edelrid is a German climbing hardware manufacturer with a long history in life-safety equipment, and the TALON's ergonomic shank — shaped around the natural line of the human leg rather than a generic straight profile — is a genuine comfort advantage on long climbing days. The three-direction lower binding also gives a more precise, locked-in boot fit than simpler strap systems.
Certified Protection Explained
ASTM F887-16 is the American standard covering personal climbing equipment, including tree climbing spikes and spurs, confirming the climbers have been independently tested for the loads and stresses of professional climbing use.
Pairs Well With
Keep your climbers performing at their best with genuine Talon Replacement Gaffs and Talon Lower Replacement Straps when parts eventually wear.

What does ASTM F887-16 certification mean?
