Distel x Arb Fiction Limited Edition Alu Plus Tree Climbing Spurs were specially developed for comfortable and safe climbing. Thanks to DMM’s precision hot-forging process, the shaft conforms perfectly to the ergonomics of your lower leg, ensuring optimal weight distribution. The 45 mm wide, forward-angled stirrup provides a stable platform and significantly eases climbing. The ergonomically shaped Plus shaft distributes pressure evenly, making extended work periods more comfortable. A Vibram rubber sole gives you secure footing on branches while protecting the tread surface.
Developed in collaboration with Arb Fiction, this limited edition stands out with its striking two-tone design: gold on one side, turquoise on the other. Manufactured by DMM in Wales, this model combines creative individuality with proven Distel quality. With only 300 units worldwide, it’s the perfect choice for climbers who want to stand out while working in the trees.
The Distel Alu Plus features the upgraded comfort padding system that provides comprehensive support for your shins and calves. Compared to the standard padding, the contact area is increased by 50%, distributing pressure more evenly and adapting perfectly to your leg thanks to its grid structure. This allows for comfortable operation even during long working hours.
The new ratchet straps ensure a perfect fit in seconds. Precision-engineered components from Switzerland allow for play-free, one-handed adjustment right in the tree—fast, safe, and efficient. The heel straps are made from BioThane material and produced by Weaver in the USA. These straps are highly durable, waterproof, and resistant to resin and sawdust. The 105 mm wide upper Velcro® strap ensures optimal pressure distribution. The Distel climbing spur shells are height-adjustable, allowing you to adapt the spurs precisely to your leg length. The PTFE-coated gaffs make disengaging from the wood easier, allowing for less physical effort and a more relaxed climb.
The combination of lightweight aluminum construction and thoughtful design ensures outstanding stability and excellent wearing comfort. This makes the Distel Alu Plus climbing spurs the ideal choice for arborists who place a high value on ergonomics and efficiency.
Distel climbing spurs have long been recognized for their top-tier quality and durability—and are considered the benchmark in tree climbing equipment.
