Tree Punk Distel Climbers

Distel Alu 3 shank

• 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 matte finish.
  

Pads

• The improved pads 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 improved 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.
  

Gaffs with black PTFE coating

• PTFE is widely known as a highly engineered plastic that dramatically reduces friction and breakaway moments, such as in aluminum pans:
• Easier release of the gaff from the wood saves effort and stress.
