Distel Carbon 3.1 Comfort

The Distel Carbon 3.1 Comfort are premium carbon fiber climbing spurs designed for maximum comfort, low weight, and exceptional durability. Manufactured with a special polycarbonate blend reinforced with unidirectional carbon fibers for high breaking strength and load capacity.[1]

Distel Carbon 3.1 Comfort represents the best in modern climbing spurs for professional arborists. With an ergonomic design and advanced material choices, they set a new standard for efficiency and comfort during long climbing sessions. The shells are made from a ductile and robust polycarbonate matrix combined with high-quality unidirectional carbon fibers, providing minimal weight while withstanding extreme loads. The footplate is 47 mm wide for stability, and the shaft is angled for optimal ergonomics. The underside is protected with durable Vibram sole rubber for grip on branches and protection against wear.[1]

For ultimate comfort, the Comfort model features thick, optimized padding with 20 mm thick foam in a lattice structure that distributes pressure and absorbs shocks. The 100 mm wide Velcro straps provide even pressure distribution without pressure points. The calf circumference is adjustable from 31 to 50 cm, and the height of the shells from 34.3 to 47.8 cm in 6 mm increments for a perfect fit.[1]

On the foot, two adjustable Velcro straps over the heel and instep provide a firm, play-free fixation. Compatible with all standard gaffs. Weight per pair: 1730 g (from 1.73 kg depending on configuration).[1]
