Distel Carbon 3.1 Climbing Spurs – Leather Strap Version
Designed for UK professional arborists, tree-surgery specialists and committed domestic climbers seeking a top-tier climbing spur system.

Crafted by Distel in Germany, these spurs deliver maximum climbing performance, fatigue-reduction and long service life.
Key Features & Benefits

- Ergonomic forward-offset & angled stirrup with extra-wide base (≈ 47 mm): optimises weight distribution and balance while climbing.
- Premium leather lower and upper straps – durable, comfortable and suitable for heavy use.
- Height-adjustable cuff in multiple increments — tailored fit for leg length & harness configuration.
- Vibram® rubber sole protection under footplate – protects carbon frame and enhances grip on branches.
