Distel Alu 3.1 Spikes - Velcro

Distel Alu 3.1 spike shoes offer maximum performance and comfort for tree climbing. With a lightweight design and robust construction, they are ideal for professional arborists.

The third generation of the proven aluminum spike shoe offers maximum performance, durability and comfort.

It impresses with an unbeatable price-performance ratio:

Extremely lightweight : The three-dimensional aluminum skeleton minimizes weight and allows for hours of fatigue-free work. The lightest aluminum spike shoe on the market.

Robust: Extremely strong and durable, even in the toughest conditions, thanks to hot-pressed aluminum with optimized cross-section and stronger alloy.

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

Full grip: Anti-slip grooves on the underside of the handle provide grip on branches.

Sustainable production: Modern manufacturing technology, short and preferably regional supply chains, fair working conditions in a German production facility and a high-quality, long-lasting product ensure the smallest possible ecological footprint.

Pads Plus

• Extra padding for the shins and calves is provided by a foam pad that is 50% larger than its predecessor. Pads Plus wraps around almost the entire leg.
• An optimal fit in the shell and thus on the user's legs is achieved through the cushion's grid structure.
• The grid structure provides a point-wise pressure distribution, which gives the user an increased subjective feeling of comfort.
• 20 mm thick foam cushions every pressure point and impact.

Pads with black Teflon coating (PTFE)

• High-quality precision casting in steel 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 commonly known as Teflon, a highly developed plastic that drastically reduces friction and breaking torque (e.g. in aluminum sleeves).
• Easier release of the claw from the wood saves force and reduces strain.
• Pre-sharpened, extremely sharp claws ready for immediate use.
• Lower and upper VELCRO® straps
• High-quality, extra-wide lower and upper straps with Velcro® fasteners ensure a firm, slip-free fit with optimal pressure distribution and high comfort.
