Aluminium 3.1 Climbing Spikes, Leather Short Gaff

The third evolution of the proven aluminium climbing spur offers maximum performance, durability, and comfort. It impresses with an unbeatable price-performance ratio:

• Extremely light: The aluminium shaft with its 3-dimensional skeleton minimizes weight and enables hours of work without fatigue. The lightest aluminium climbing spur on the market.

• Robust: Extremely strong and durable, even under the toughest conditions, thanks to hot-forged aluminium with an optimized cross-section and stronger alloy.

• Maximum power transmission: The straight shank optimally transmits the force applied.

• Full grip: Anti-slip ribs on the underside of the shank provide 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 aluminium 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” 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.
